YOU BLEW IT! have teamed with Entertainment Weekly magazine to premiere another new track, “Your Side,” off their upcoming 3-song EP Pioneer of Nothing, due out from Jade Tree on January 27th, 2015. “Your Side” demonstrates a more restrained side of the band, with Entertainment Weekly calling it “a track where the band sets aside the crunchy guitars for a tender, sugar-sweet ballad decorated with washes of cymbals and strings.” The EP is now available for pre-order via Jade Tree.
In addition to their upcoming tour dates with Tiny Moving Parts, Rozwell Kid, and Sorority Noise, You Blew It! will be playing a number of in-store performances. An exclusive retail-only variant (hand painted and numbered jackets with vellum overlay, limited to 100) of Pioneer of Nothing will be sold at the locations below, with more stores to be announced.

The past year has been a whirlwind for the Florida quintet who released their critically-acclaimed sophomore album Keep Doing What You’re Doing last January. The past 12 months also saw the release of their Weezer cover EP You Blue It as well as tours across the globe with the likes of Say Anything, The Front Bottoms and Modern Baseball. Pioneer of Nothing shows a marked maturation from the band, who have very much maintained their anthemic rock sensibilities but have also added a new sense of intimacy and stripped-down immediacy to their songs. The new EP has already won early praise from a wide variety of outlets including Pitchfork, Stereogum and Spin.
You Blew It! have also announced their first North American headlining tour, sponsored by Jukely, and will be bringing Tiny Moving Parts, Rozwell Kid and Sorority Noise along for the ride. Kicking off January 29th, the dates see the band traversing the continent for the following 5 weeks (all tour dates below). Tickets for all shows are on-sale now at http://youblewitfl.com.
Praise for Keep Doing What You’re Doing:
“You Blew It! have fashioned Keep Doing into a deeply satisfying, full-bodied, big-tent rock record.” -Pitchfork
“These guys know how to wring as much feeling as possible from the tried-and-true rock ’n’ roll tool kit” -Stereogum
“You don’t need to pore over obscure 7-inches for hours to appreciate You Blew It!’s catchy, full-bodied car-stereo rock anthems.” -Grantland
