i sure am getting sick of this bowling alley

i am sure getting sick of this bowling alley is a mini album that features four new songs, recorded in Autumn 2025, along with a couple of songs from their digital-only comeback EP in 2023.

Mclusky are a band who were a band, weren’t a band, then are a band again. They formed in the late nineties and unformed, for the first time, in 2005, after three albums, opinions of which can be found on the internet.

The path to re-becoming a band started in 2014, with the band playing sporadic shows to raise money for a local venue threatened with closure and, after some misadventures, which can be put down to life in its most wonderful forms, in 2025, they released their first record in twenty years and, now, in 2026, they continue with more music in the form of this 6-song mini album.

The band’s return has been met with excitement, especially from the press where places liked NPR exclaimed “Progressive, weird, snotty post-punk with a real sense of humor and grandiosity. This music is just bursting with creativity” and Pitchfork said “Famously explosive live, Mclusky sound just as noisy on their comeback album... Enjoy the ride.”
