Big taste news this morning with the unveiling of Agitate the Gravel‘s new single, heading out April 2nd.

Wait has been a live favourite of the band for some time now, a brash and bright pop tune invested with some serious math chops and a deceptively cynical undertone. Meanwhile, some amazo B-side action comes from recently-aired tune Incomprehensible, another leveller of a tune.

We’re seriously looking forward to this, and hopefully will have a stream here before launch time.

Presser after the jump, and a launch gig on March 30th at Cyprus Avenue!

This Spring, Cork shoegazers Agitate the Gravel will release their new single, ‘Wait’; a strident and urgent pop firecracker that oozes melody like an oil spill. The single will be released on April 2nd.

‘Wait’ is the band’s third release in an 18-month spell that has seen the group travelling relentlessly across the country and sharing bills with the likes of punk-rock godfather Mike Watt as well as upcoming Irish acts such as R.S.A.G, Jogging, Fighting With Wire and the Ambience Affair. The band also featured on Whelan’s ‘Ones to Watch for 2012′ showcase as well as Hotpress’ ‘Freezer Sessions’.

‘Wait’ will be available on limited CD in selected record stores, as well as digitally on Bandcamp, and will come packaged with the exclusive b-side ‘Incomprehensible’.

Agitate the Gravel will launch ‘Wait’ in Cork’s Cyprus Avenue on March 30th with support from Former Monarchs and Une Pipe.
