Buttsweat and Tears is an EP by the Chicago punk rock band The Lawrence Arms, released October 27, 2009 by Fat Wreck Chords.

Well, we never did a seven inch (except for one that was part of a label series, which meant that the cover and the title were sort of more beholden to the big picture rather than our dumb ideas) and the whole thing kind of languished, and now, ten years later, in conjunction with our ten year anniversary show and subsequent west coast run (the first run in over 2 years), we've got our first real seven inch on our hands.

[2] The EP's release date and cover art were announced the following week.

[3] It was released both as a 7-inch vinyl record and as a digital download, the latter including an extra song.

[2] The band supported the release with a tenth anniversary performance in October 2009 at the Metro Chicago, followed by a seven-date headlining tour of Arizona and California the following month with Teenage Bottlerocket and Cobra Skulls.
