For their fourth full-length album, BITS, Oxford Collapse reportedly wrote over 30 songs – more than twice as many as they needed. "The economy has been bad, so we decided to write more songs," explains Michael Pace. It was originally assumed that BITS, their second album on Sub Pop Records, would be a double album, but in the end 13 tracks round out the CD, to be released on August 5th. One song, "The Birthday Wars" is on the band's MySpace page for your listening pleasure; the others can be sampled tonight when they play a hometown gig at Southpaw. The band's live show is a total blast, bursting with mean hooks and propulsive guitar work; their set at McCarren Pool last summer was the sleeper hit of the summer. Tickets cost $12 and also get you sets from Frightened Rabbit and The Lame Drivers.
