A new Kneebody album is cause for celebration, that and probably fanatical dancing. The rambunctious quintet consisting of Ben Wendel on tenor sax, Shane Endsley on trumpet, Adam Benjamin on keyboards, Kaveh Rastegar on bass, and Nate Wood on drums (when they aren’t multi-tasking, of course) are getting ready to release their next album, Anti-Hero, on March 3rd on Motéma Music. In fact, the first single, “Uprising”, is available for download now when you pre-order the album on iTunes. Check it out after the jump; like many things involving this band, you shouldn’t sleep on this.

Kneebody is also taking their show on the road with some tour dates with more to come.
