Synopsis

Product Description
Musical renaissance man Butch Walker has confirmed the August 30 release of 'The Spade,' his debut album for Dangerbird Records. An adrenaline-pumping blast of hook-fueled rock and roll, 'The Spade' features 10 new tracks written by Walker and recorded with his longtime bandmates The Black Widows and Patrick Keeler (of The Raconteurs) in Venice, CA. The record showcases Walker's sharp lyrical wit and unbridled affection for the anthemic pop of his youth. From first single "Summer of 89" (where he sings " Nobody really knew Bryan Adams wasn't cool / The TV just told me he was") to "Synthesizers" ("I don't have a synthesizer / I can still get down like Duran Duran in 1985"), the album is full of knowing winks, half-cocked smiles, and monster sing-alongs. Walker writes with a boozy swagger, leading his band through what sounds like the soundtrack to the world's greatest house party. Walker has produced hits and written songs for some of the biggest names in music today, including Katy Perry, Weezer, Pink, and Avril Lavigne. He was named Producer of the Year by Rolling Stone and performed alongside Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks at The Grammys. Walker's latest album, 'I Liked It Better When You Had No Heart,' earned sterling reviews, with Rolling Stone calling him "one of America's best singer-songwriters" and the LA Times calling it a "reaffirmation of the pleasures of witty phrasing and a perfect chorus." Butch and the Black Widows will hit the road for tour dates later this year.
