The long wait is finally over. Vancouver punk legends the Pointed Sticks will release their second album, Three Lefts Make A Right, on Nov. 1 on Northern Electric Records.

The disc comes 29 years after their 1980 Perfect Youth debut album. Three Lefts Make A Right was recorded at Vancouver's Mushroom and Paramount studios and mixed by Mike Fraser at the city's Warehouse Studios. No tracklisting has been announced for Three Lefts Make A Right yet, which will be available as a CD, LP and digital download.

The act who Nardwuar The Human Serviette calls his "favourite band ever," have been riding a revival high since their 2006 tour in Japan, which was followed by sold-out North American dates.

Singer Nick Jones is calling the album "a natural progression," one that builds on their past but one which also turns a new page in the Pointed Sticks' story.
