Australia\u2019s favourite musical misfits and legends of noughties Aussie hip-hop, Butterfingers <\/em>are back with their outrageous and fittingly titled new album Bad News<\/strong>, out today, April 8.  Confident and with more rapturous energy and piercing lyrical wit than ever before, the band\u2019s first album in 14 years is bold and adventurous, while still retaining that classic, clever, inimitable Butterfingers <\/em>sound.  To celebrate the album\u2019s release today, they have very kindly delivered another gold nugget of true blue entertainment in the form of a video for their new single \u2013 the album title track – Bad News, <\/em>directed, filmed and edited entirely by lead singer and songwriter, Evil Eddie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But wait, there\u2019s more, Butterfingers have today announced their postponed national tour dates for later this year, set to kick off at the Prince of Wales in Bunbury (WA) on October 29 before moving through Perth, Scarborough, Fremantle, Hobart, Launceston, Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, Burleigh Heads, Adelaide, Melbourne, Frankston, Ipswich, Sunshine Coast, Townsville and finishing up at Tanks Arts Centre in Cairns on December 12.
 
\u201cWhat a time to be releasing an album called <\/em>Bad News!\u201d <\/em>Jests Evil Eddie.  \u201cIt\u2019s crazy to think it\u2019s been 14 years since our last album, cause it doesn\u2019t feel like it all. We are super pumped to finally be getting it out there, but the actual process – eventhough it\u2019s been so long – feels like it\u2019s our regular routine, and it will be from now. The new album is out today and we\u2019ve got waaaaaay more to come straight after, we\u2019ve got a lot to say right now.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

True to form, the Bad News <\/em>album encompasses hip hop, punk, reggae, drum & bass, stoner rock, electronica and just about anything that makes you want to shake your bones, into a cohesive mash-up all of their own creation.  From potty-mouthed gutter rhymes to heartfelt crooning odes to love lost, this is an album that will keep old fans happy and will entice new followers at an alarming rate.
 
Inspired by the film Anchorman, the video clip for Bad News<\/em> is downright bonkers and offers fans some further insight in to just how weird and hilarious the workings of Evil Eddie\u2019s brain really are. \u201cBeing that the album and the single are both called <\/em>Bad News, it made sense to us to dress up as news readers and deliver the bad news in a proper and professional manner, crazy timing too with everything that\u2019s going on in the world at the minute. In a weird way it feels like somehow it\u2019s meant to be,\u201d <\/em>explains Eddie. \u201cAnyway, hopefully it can serve as a lighthearted distraction from all the gloom we\u2019re drowning in within the media at moment. This really is the time that people actually need entertainment just to keep them sane. We\u2019re probably not the heroes you asked for, but we\u2019re the ones you\u2019ve got!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
