Grave Mistake and Toxic Pop Records have launched pre-orders for Tenement’s upcoming collection LP, Bruised Music Volume One.  To celebrate, the band and labels have teamed with AV Club to stream one of the completely re-mastered rarities found on the album, “The Fire Is Out.”  The track is a perfect encapsulation of the infectious blend of punk edge and pop hooks that Tenement has been perfecting for years.

Bruised Music Volume One delves into the band’s deep and impressive catalogue to compile ten rare or out-of-print tracks from seven of the band’s earliest tapes, EPs, and split singles.  Bruised Music Volume One‘s tracks have all been re-mastered and feature vastly improved sound quality than their original releases.  The collection will also include an eight page zine with liner notes and anecdotes from the band, their friends (including members of Screaming Females, Sundials, Coke Bust, and Nervosas), and journalists who championed the band during their inception.  Bruised Music Volume One isn’t just for the super-fan looking for a peek into their early years and the honing of their razor sharp song-craft, it also offers new listeners a great introduction to the band’s perfect blend of raw punk energy and undeniable pop hooks.
