Lest you forget their DIY-or-die beginnings, JEFF The Brotherhood have announced a new 12” purple vinyl EP of self-produced cover songs that range from not-so-obvious selections by major alt-rock artists (My Bloody Valentine, Beck, Pixies) to the more cultish side of the indie kid spectrum (Colleen Green, The Wipers, Teenage Fanclub). Check out the full breakdown of Dig the Classics down below, along with tour dates alongside the boys’ longtime bros in Diarrhea Planet and a previously released Nirvana cover that was quite killer as well…

1. Gouge Away (Pixies)
2. Mystery (The Wipers)
3. Come In Alone (My Bloody Valentine)
