Cult Copenhagen punks Iceage have signed to Matador for their second album, which will see release on February 18 2013.

It’s the follow-up to 2011’s excellent New Brigade, which originally came out on Danish label Escho before being variously reissued on or relicensed to Dais Records, What’s Your Rupture?, Big Love, Tambourhinoceras and Abeano. Escho will once again take care of the Danish release of the LP.

The band return to the UK and Ireland next week to play 10 intimate shows. The dates are as follows:

Nov 21 – Belfast – Limelight
Nov 22 – Dublin – Academy 2
Nov 23 – Manchester – Soup Kitchen
Nov 24 – Edinburgh – Sneaky Petes
Nov 25 – York – Stereo
Nov 26 – Wrexham – Central Station
Nov 27 – Nottingham – Bodega
Nov 28 – Bristol – Croft
Nov 29 – London – Hoxton Bar and Kitchen
