Canadian punk bunch Fist City have signed to Transgressive Records, who’ll reissue the group’s 2012 LP, ‘It’s 1983, Grow Up’, on 17 May. The remastered release will feature new tracks, ‘Losers Never Die’ and ‘Let’s Rip’.

Ten seconds into listening we’d all jumped up from our desks and were adamant that we had to sign this vital new band.
