Former Nirvana drummer Chad Channing has announced details of his new band, Before Cars.

The outfit's debut single ’Old Chair’ is available through Flotation Records, and is limited to 500 copies.

Channing said: “I am planning on recording more songs this spring with Jack Endino (who produced ’Bleach’) and then we’ll be able to put together a full CD to release.
