Indie-rock band Sleater-Kinney have dropped a release date for their much-awaited 10th album, The Center Won't Hold. They've also released a new song: "The Future Is Here."

The Center Won't Hold is out Aug. 16, but fans can pre-order now. The band first confirmed the new album, which is being produced by GRAMMY winner St. Vincent, in January. The album is their first since 2015's No Cities To Love.

"'The Future Is Here' touches on the isolation that can come from a technology-driven culture. "I start my day on a tiny screen/ Try to connect the words, they're right in front of me/ I walk to work out on the city streets/ No one speaks to me, their stony faces beat," lead vocalist Corin Tucker sings. 

The trio also announced a European tour that will have stops in Germany, France as well as the U.K., and additional North American tour dates in Chicago, Oakland, Calif., Portland and Seattle. 

For more information on the album and tour dates, visit the band's website.

“I want to support new talents,” Trejo told Billboard. "In about three to four months we’re hoping to host an open audition for new talent."

The label is a partnership with Silent Giant Entertainment president and producer Edward "E-Dub" Rios as well as Baby Bash, who is CEO of entertainment company and label BashTown Music. 

Rios said creating opportunities for rising stars was important to them: "We want to continue the mission that we’ve been dedicated to for decades, that’s kicking down doors and creating opportunities for good people through music and culture," he said. 

The label's first album is a a mix of soul and Chicano music, an umbrella term which encompases chicano rap, brown-eyed soul, chicano rock and more. The album features Trejo anecdotes before each of the 12 tracks. Baby Bash told Billboard the album is "bringing some saucy musical class to the music scene! Chicano soul style!"
