The Lawrence Arms’ new album, Metropole, isn’t actually out until Jan. 28, but The A.V. Club has an exclusive stream of the whole thing below. Metropole is the Chicago punk band’s first record in eight years, but none of the rust shows, with band members Brendan Kelly, Neil Hennessey, and Chris McCaughan ripping through tracks like “Seventeener (17th and 37th)” with typical aplomb.


The record is available for pre-order now, and the band has a number of upcoming tour dates on the books and listed below.
