Boris announce reissue of 2002’s Heavy Rocks
After releasing three albums last year, and gearing up to release a new collaboration with Uniform, Boris are preparing to release another new reissue from their expansive back catalog. On August 18 (digital) and September 8 (physical), Boris will release their original 2002 Heavy Rocks in the U.S. for the first time, via Third Man. Previously only available on CD in Japan, this will mark its first pressing on vinyl as well. The band will also be touring with Melvins this summer and fall. Check out those dates below.
