Legendary Canadian rock group Lowest of the Low is back with a vengeance. Freshly signed to MapleMusic Recordings in Canada, the group has finished work on their first studio album in 10 years. Entitled Sordid Fiction, the CD is slated for release on September 21st of this year.

The album was produced by Canadian rock legend Ian Blurton (The Weakerthans, From Fiction, C'mon) at Chemical Sound in Toronto and mixed by Seattle uber-producer Adam Kasper (Nirvana, The Tragically Hip, Foo Fighters).

Under the management of international powerhouse Key Music Group, whose other clients include The Pixies, Inspiral Carpets, fellow canucks The Marble Index (and, until his untimely demise, the late Clash front man Joe Strummer), the Low are set to tour both North America and the U.K. through the fall, beginning in September.

Lowest of the Low is identified as one of the groups responsible for Toronto's independent music explosion of the early '90s. They quickly established themselves as one of Canada's finest bands, blending literate, astute lyrics with a sound that effortlessly ranged from folk to punk. All too soon it came to an end, however, as the band called it quits shortly after the release of their sophomore album Hallucigenia.
