Punk rock legend and former Hüsker Dü/Sugar frontman Bob Mould released his latest solo album, Sunshine Rock, earlier this year. Today, he’s announcing a new string of solo electric tour dates supported by Centro-Matic singer-songwriter Will Johnson in the fall. And he’s also sharing another new track, a cover of the Buzzcocks’ “I Don’t Mind” from their 1978 debut album Another Music In A Different Kitchen.

“Early in my sophomore year, two concerts had a major impact on me. The first was at the Longhorn, with Gang Of Four opening for the Buzzcocks,” Mould explains. “I was a huge fan of the Buzzcocks’ approach to pop songwriting and also appreciated the slashing guitar of Gang Of Four. I was front and center for the entire Buzzcocks set, studying singer-guitarist Pete Shelley, watching his every motion. Legend has it that the entire band was tripping on LSD that evening — I don’t know, but many times during the set, Pete did lean down, off-mic, and shout the chord changes at me. It left a deep impression, and I became an even more intent student of their work.”
