St. Louis dance-punk band So Many Dynamos are releasing their third disc, The Loud Wars (Vagrant Records), next month. The new disc was produced by Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie, The Decemberists) and mixed by Walla and Alex Newport (Mars Volta, At the Drive-In).

The first single "New Bones" is streaming on the So Many Dynamos' MySpace page and a new track, "The Artifacts of Sound", will be posted later this week.

Here is a live performance of "New Bones" that was recorded last September in Arkansas.
