In a press release, Grace made a statement about signing with Bloodshot. I’ve been a longtime fan of Bloodshot and the artists they work with. Having spent the past year working on a record without knowing where its home was going to be, when I discovered that the Bloodshot offices were only a couple of blocks away from my apartment I went in and asked if they’d consider giving the songs a home.” She goes on to say “They were cool enough to hear me out and oblige. I couldn’t be more happy about the work we’re going to do together and sharing it with the world.”
Laura Jane Grace & the Devouring Mothers consists of Laura Jane Grace, Atom Willard, and Marc Jacob Hudson. Before touring in the fall, Grace’s other band, punk rockers Against Me!, is currently on the road with Speedy Ortiz in support of their 2016 albumShape Shift With Me.
