Sarah Shook & the Disarmers - "New Ways to Fail"

We're less than two weeks from the release of the new album from Sarah Shook & the Disarmers, and we can check out a new single, "New Ways to Fail." "New Ways to Fail" is everything we want in a Sarah Shook & the Disarmers song. It's just about as country as can be, in that old fashioned outlaw country way. It's a little bit less punk sounding than some of her songs on Sidelong but only in the musical way. With a chorus that starts with "Cause I need this shit like I need another hole in my head," she's got the attitude of punk, and isn't punk really more of an attitude?

You can listen to "New Ways to Fail" below. Years, the new album from Sarah Shook & the Disarmers, will be out April 6 on Bloodshot Records. You can pre-order your copy here. For more information on the band, check out their website. Tour dates are below the song.
