The Mountain Goats release of their latest album on Merge Records today, 'Beat The Champ' is a collection of songs about professional wrestling.
“I wrote these songs to re-immerse myself in the blood and fire of the visions that spoke to me as a child, and to see what more there might be in them now that I’m grown,” John Darnielle says of the album's twelve songs.
The band will be heading to the UK this November for a show not to be missed whether you like wrestling or not.
