Oregon’s bluegrass-punk phenoms Larry and His Flask are streaming their new full-length By the Lamplight now on BrooklynVegan. It comes out today in the US via Cascadian Records with distribution by Silver Sprocket Records and throughout the rest of the world via Frank Turner’s Xtra Mile Recordings. This is the band’s sophomore album following closely on the heels of their Hobo’s Lament EP released last fall and their 2011 debut All That We Know.

Although they’ve staked their name on their raucous live show, By the Lamplight clearly shows that Larry and His Flask possess some serious musical chops and have honed their signature bluegrass-punk hybrid to impressive new levels. After spending the past two months touring Europe with Frank Turner, the band have just returned to the states for a North American summer headlining tour and a fall US tour with Murder By Death (all tour dates below).

“Get your feet ready for some stomping” -Paste
“They share a knack for Americana with Lucero, they do to bluegrass what Gogol Bordello and Flogging Molly do to gypsy music and Celtic music, respectively, and there’s even a little bit of late 90s ska in the mix” -BrooklynVegan
“Unpredictable, scarily musically adept, at times pensive and sweet, and always high energy” -Alternative Press
