Mike Bell & The Movies premiered a new song called “Fucked If You Do” over on The A.V. Club a few days ago, previewing their forthcoming Room LP that will be out via Lame-O Records on April 1st.

As the band admitted on Facebook a few times, they’ve been fairly quiet recently (perhaps due to the members being involved in other projects like Year of Glad, Dogs on Acid, The Superweaks and APE!) but “Fucked If You Do” puts The Movies back out front with a power-pop / punk vengeance. It’s a single that’s easy to get into with simple lyrics and a great hook backed by sounds that call to mind “scrunch-pop.”

Head over to The A.V. Club to hear the single and listen back to the band’s Key Studio Session below.
