Bacon Wagon, the band (not the wagon), has signed to Reptilian Records for their debut. For those wondering, Bacon Wagon is a noise rock band out of Sweden, formed in 2003 but waiting 20+ years for a proper full-length.

The band, featuring brothers Marcus and Kristoffer Kinberg (Acid Ape) has released multiple EPs, then went on hiatus in the late 2000s until 2023.

While the world has certainly changed since then, the band is back to deliver us some Trauma Cake, out June 6 on their new label home.

"Trauma Cake is prime auricle-abrasing sustenance for patrons of Hammerhead, Black Flag, Nirvana, Flipper, Tad, Melvins, Butthole Surfers, and anything with Steve Albini’s name in the lineup or the Amphetamine Reptile logo on it," the press release tells us.

Here's a new song to prove it:
