Bob Mould drops new single + live LP, fanzine & Hüsker Dü reissue details
Bob Mould is set to release his new album Patch The Sky on March 25th. Earlier this year he premiered the first song "Voices In My Head," and now he's debuted the intense and smoldering track "The End Of Things." Stream below:

Besides the new album, fans have even more to look forward to -- a live Mould record and (free) fan zine will be released on April 16th aka Record Store Day. Though the release isn't listed on the RSD website yet, the following info about the release was posted by Merge (Mould's label):
"In addition, we will celebrate the career of Bob Mould with our very first zine! It features an introductory essay by Michael Azerrad plus personal stories, artwork, and photos submitted by Bob Mould fans from around the world. The zine also includes a CD of Bob’s 2014 full-band live session for Chicago radio station WXRT. Support your local record shop and pick up your free copy on April 16th."
Meanwhile, Hüsker Dü's second single "In A Free Land," which was released in 1982 and has been LONG out of print, will be reissued as a limited edition 7" single on April 16th for Record Store Day. Like the original pressing, the single will be backed with "What Do I Want," and "M.I.C." Details on the release are posted here.
