The White Fence split is out on September 2. It features the track "Nero (Has a Lot to Think About)" and is backed by a track called "Belly Full of Blood" from Los Angeles singer/songwriter Jack Name. Listen to a preview of both tracks above.
Parquet Courts' single is out September 16, and it features the track "This is Happening Now". The B-side features a track from Brooklyn's Future Punx called "Spike Train". 
The Speedy track is called "Doomsday", and it's out October 7. The B-side features "I Took it Off a Record" by Brattleboro, Vermont singer/songwriter Chris Weisman.
