Franz Nicolay has launched a stream of his latest release, Do the Struggle. The record is being released via the international wing of Xtra Mile and the formerly UK-only label will be releasing the album on August 14, 2012 with vinyl coming on Sabot Productions. For the album, Franz enlisted producer Oktopus of Dälek who you may recall also produced Paint It Black's New Lexicon.

Musicians on the album include the Guignol rhythm section of John Bollinger (drums) and George Rush (bass, tuba) and guests including Ezra Kire (Leftover Crack, Morning Glory) and Emilyn Brodsky.
