It's been three years since Cashew Chemists released their self-titled debut EP, which is not to say the band hasn't been busy in that time. Amidst lots of hustle and bustle in their personal lives the band has still been gigging incessantly since. Nevertheless, the rock 'n' roll outfit are probably due for another release, and what better time than now, just ahead of their forthcoming showcase at St. Jerome's Laneway Festival 2016! With Zach Chia and Brian Chia back in town (the pair spent the last couple of years studying overseas) alongside the addition of a 5th member, Ulrich Chia on guitars, the band have indeed decided to put out a new EP entitled, Previously On...Cashew Chemists, to commemorate this new Cashew era.

As frontman Yuji Kumagai comments, "I think the EP, as a whole, aptly accentuates the willful exuberance we experienced in our youth. We're absolutely thrilled to share these songs with everyone." Previously On... Cashew Chemists is set to be released via Bandcamp on December 11 2015, but before then...
