Bespectacled Chicago trio Pet Symmetry have unveiled a new song from their forthcoming debut album Pets Hounds, out May 19 via Asian Man Records. “Class Action Force (Useless Tools)” was debuted today on Stereogum, and is available to stream on SoundCloud.
Pulling members from Dowsing, Kittyhawk, Mountains for Clouds, and Into It. Over It; Pet Symmetry is a gleefully spontaneous and unrestrained outlet for good friends Erik Czaja (Guitar), Marcus Nuccio (Drums), and Evan Weiss (Lead Vocals, Bass) to scratch their itchy power pop impulses. Pets Hounds is available for pre-order now at the Asian Man Records store (http://asianmanrecords.storenvy.com).

The majority of Pets Hounds was recorded in late 2013 with engineer Mark Michalik who has worked often with Weiss in the past. It took another year before they had time to put the finishing touches on the album, adding vocals and guitar before mixing and mastering this winter. The end result is emblematic of the heights a band can reach when they just kick back, plug in, and go with what comes to them. No second guessing. Just fun.
