Farrell and Co. have also released a new track ‘Agua‘ from their forthcoming EP that is set to be released next year ahead of the band’s touring run. The song sees them join forces with the Surfrider Foundation to advocate for protecting the oceans and the coasts.
“The people who live here on the West Coast have a beautiful love and passion for the Pacific Ocean,” Farrell shared in a statement (per Pitchfork). “The ocean doesn’t look right, doesn’t feel right, doesn’t surf right. You go and swim in it, and you get the creeps. The sunsets are different. We are really, really screwing it up. We have to do something about it. I wanted to bring attention to it through the best megaphone that I know, which is music.”
The band’s frontman also shared his excitement for the launch of new music and said: “Now we’re here, and that same heart, that same desire to make music together, has returned. Getting together with these guys has been some of the most fun, the happiest times in my life.”
Porno For Pyros, who formed in 1992 followed the first break-up of Jane’s Addiction, last released an album – ‘Good God’s Urge’ – in 1996.
Last year the band reunited on stage for their first time in 26 years at Welcome To Rockville Festival after replacing Jane’s Addiction.
They also performed a headline set in Los Angeles, an intimate Lollapalooza after show, and a main stage set at the Farrell-founded festival.
Meanwhile, Jane’s Addiction have been announced headliners of Bearded Theory 2024, with a UK-exclusive performance.
