No-wave punk group Special Interest have shared a stand-alone single “Disco 1.5” via Rough Trade. “Disco 1.5” reflects the way their much-loved track “Disco” was meant to be heard—the way Special Interest have been playing it live for the past four or five years. The band have a European festival run throughout the summer and will support Sleaford Mods on their UK and Ireland dates throughout the fall. Check out “Disco 1.5” below, followed by the upcoming tour dates.
