What people are saying about Obits Bed & Bugs: “It's another stellar fist-pumper.” [Track Review, “Taste the Diff”] - Exclaim! “If you're looking for a life coach, you could do worse.” [Track Review, “Taste the Diff”] - Pitchfork “Screamy Mick Jagger-esque vocals and crunchy, antique punk guitar sounds give the track a bluesy punch; the lyrics raise questions about aging and the power of money. It’s really fun (and pretty whiny, but in a kind of great way).” [Track Review, “Taste the Diff”] - Stereogum “May God preserve veteran garage rockers Obits, one of the living proofs that NYC still rules when it comes to rock'n'roll.” - The Deli Magazine Tour Dates: Sept. 21 - Brooklyn, NY - The Bell House (Album release show) Oct. 02 - Cambridge, MA - TT the Bears Oct. 03 - Montreal, QC - Il Motore Oct. 04 - Toronto, ON - Horseshoe Tavern Oct. 05 - Ferndale, MI - The Loving Touch Oct. 06 - Milwaukee, WI - The Cactus Club Oct. 07 - Minneapolis, MN - Triple Rock Social Club Oct. 08 - Chicago, IL - Empty Bottle Oct. 09 - Columbus, OH - Ace of Cups Oct. 10 - Washington, DC - Rock and Roll Hotel Oct. 11 - Philadelphia, PA - Johnny Brenda’s Oct. 22 & 23 - Halifax, NS - Halifax Pop Explosion Oct. 30 - Tampa, FL - The Fest Oct. 31 - Gainesville, FL - The Fest Nov. 14 - Vancouver, BC - Biltmore Cabaret Nov. 15 - Seattle, WA - Neumo’s Crystal Ball Nov. 16 - Portland, OR - Mississippi Studios Nov. 17 - Eugene, OR - WOW Hall Nov. 19 - San Francisco, CA - Bottom of the Hill Nov. 20 - Visalia, CA - Cellar Door Nov. 21 - Los Angeles, CA - The Echo Nov. 22 - San Diego, CA - Casbah Nov. 23 - Las Vegas, NV - Beauty Bar
