While We're At It With Autographed CD Booklet

Dicky Barrett

Purchase includes CD booklet autographed by Dicky Barrett. “This is the best of what we do best,” vows THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES vocalist Dicky Barrett of their upbeat and optimistic new album While We’re At It, which is due out on June 15th via their very own Big Rig Records. “It’s us firing on all of our cylinders. This is where we’re at in our lives with no regrets.” The album was produced and mixed by Grammy Award winning producer Ted Hutt (Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, Lucero, The Bouncing Souls, The Gaslight Anthem) and mastered by Grammy Award-nominated Greg Calbi (David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan) at Sterling Sound. This collection of timeless soon-to-be ska classics brings to light current events and showcases the band’s signature ska-core sound. It’s a very intellectual approach that paints a lyrical picture with upbeat and optimistic brush strokes. “I read While We’re At It lyrics as a timely and thoughtful dispatch for citizens of an increasingly complicated world,” describes bassist Joe Gittleman. “Some of the commentary and meaning is clear or sort of worn on the album’s sleeve.” From celebrating our significance (“Wonderful Day For The Race”) to the desecration, destruction, and demolition of a historic Boston neighborhood (“The West End”) to loss (“In Honor Of”) to the classic American working-class story of the under-appreciated laborer being chewed up, passed over, mistreated, ignored, and finally spit out by the heartless corporation (“The Co

Love Is Dead With Autographed CD Booklet

Since emerging in 2013 with the glistening brightness of their breakthrough single, “Recover,” CHVRCHES (Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook, and Martin Doherty) have always projected an insularity, a subtle but unmistakable wariness about leaning into their obvious Hit-Song-of-the-Summer-writing potential. At their core, CHVRCHES are true blue Glaswegian punks. They’ve wanted to protect themselves, and protect that undercurrent of melancholy that gives depth to their sunniness. To this end, the band members have always kept their creative process close and tight. They’ve been diligent to the max about managing the way their band is portrayed. And, of course, they have historically produced every piece of music themselves, including their 2013 debut, The Bones of What You Believe, and 2015 follow-up, Every Open Eye. “Certainly not,” was their go-to response, Martin recalls laughing, when asked to consider collaboration. “We knew that if you get led down the wrong path it can completely derail your career.” But if there’s a theme in CHVRCHES’ world as they prepare to release their third record, Love Is Dead, it’s willful, determined openness, both ideologically – more on that in a minute – and in terms of actual creative process. This time around, instead of Lauren disappearing for days at a time, the trio stayed in the same room even while Lauren was writing lyrics. As a result, the album “feels a lot more coherent,” she says. Lauren also consciously pulled from a different psychic we

Gravity With Autographed CD Booklet

With drummer Jason Bowld joining founding members, singer/guitarist Matt Tuck and fellow axeman Michael “Padge” Paget, plus bassist Jamie Mathias, who has been a part of the Bullet story since 2015, this is a band reborn.

Out In The Storm CD With Autographed Postcard

Out in the Storm is the blazing result of a woman reawakened. Her most autobiographical and honest album to date, Out in the Storm is a self-reflective anchor in the story of both Katie Crutchfield’s songwriting and her life. The album tells the story of taking control of a volatile situation, embracing flaws, and exploring a new sonic freedom. The album was tracked at Miner Street Recordings in Philadelphia with John Agnello, known for working with some of the most iconic musicians of the last 25 years, including Dinosaur Jr. and Sonic Youth. For Agnello, it was Crutchfield’s voice that drew him in. “The first demo song I heard was ‘Fade’. The melodies, the way she sings it, the way she turns the melody, and the way she goes note to note is literally beautiful. Singers—you either have it or you don’t. She has it.” Agnello and Crutchfield worked together for most of December 2016, along with the band: sister Allison Crutchfield on keyboards and percussion, Katherine Simonetti on bass, and Ashley Arnwine on drums; Katie Harkin, touring guitarist with Sleater-Kinney, also contributed lead guitar. At Agnello’s suggestion, the group recorded most of the music live to enhance their unity in a way that gives the album a fuller sound compared to past releases, resulting in one of Waxahatchee’s most guitar-driven releases to date. “My experience working with John was genuinely life-changing,” says Crutchfield. “We had such a great connection right off the bat, and I really feel like

Kids In The Street With Autographed CD Booklet

Kids In The Street is the 7th and latest album from American roots troubadour, Justin Townes Earle. After marrying, moving to various corners of the country and continuous touring with both full band and solo, Earle made time to reflect on the past few years and find new clarity.

Together, they hand picked musicians to create a new sound and environment for the songs that speaks to Justin’s roots, musically and personally.
