K-pop boy band B.A.P will make a comeback with a new mini-album, “PUT’EM UP,” on August 8, its agency said.

TS Entertainment revealed Monday the album’s cover image through its official SNS channel. It shows six members in front of what appears to be a 24-hour bar.

“‘That’s My Jam,’ the lead track of the new album, is an electronic dance music number with lyrics about summer parties,” the agency said. “Rapper Bang Yong-guk of B.A.P and foreign producers collaborated to compose the number.”

The agency also said B.A.P will hold the final concerts of its world tour, “B.A.P Live on Earth 2016 World Tour,” which began in April in San Francisco, on Saturday and Sunday at SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium in eastern Seoul. The group will perform the song at the concert before its official release.

B.A.P debuted with “Warrior” in 2012. The band gained popularity through songs “Crash (2012),” “One Shot (2013)” and “Angel (2014).”
