OXFORD COLLAPSE | Sign w/ Sub Pop, Tour

Brooklyn's Oxford Collapse are leaving Kanine Records for Sub Pop! Here's what they say about it:

Oh man, lotsa news to report! I think first and foremost we are psyched to announce that we are now a part of the Sub Pop Records family. Wait, is it a family? They've certainly made us feel like it is! They'll be putting out our next full length, sometime in the Fall. We're excited! We'll be laying low after our upcoming tour in order to finish writing and then record most likely in the late Spring.

The O.C. will be heading out on tour starting tomorrow at the Knitting Factory tap room. Joining them on the road are Part Chimp and The Joggers, as well as stints with Sam Champion and Dirty on Purpose.........
