"Beat Poetry For Survivalists" is the result of a new collaboration between Luke Haines and Peter Buck. Peter Buck was guitarist in one of the biggest rock bands, R.E.M., Luke Haines played the guitar in the Auteurs, who didn't quite make it that far, but weren't bad either. The two met through their passion for painting and decided to write a few songs together and release an album. This will now be released by Cherry Red in early March. On CD and Vinyl.
