Another headlining band from Dumb Fest day two, Tenement, have just signed to Don Giovanni Records for a new album to come out later this year or early 2014. From the Don Giovanni website:

We’re really excited to be working with one of our favorite bands of the past few years, Tenement, on a new album later this year.  Tenement, from Appleton, Wisconsin have toured extensively over the last 5 years and released two albums in 2011, Napalm Dream, and The Blind Wink.  They will be entering the studio soon for an album out by the end of the year or early 2014 on Don Giovanni and we couldn’t be more excited.

Tenement also recently released a few new singles, one being “Freak Cast In Iron” out on Cowabunga Records. You can find a few of those new songs streaming on the player below.
