Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Casualties - Detonate (CD) (New (N))
Politics. Hatred. Endless war. We doomscroll as our rights are stripped away. Bombings. Kidnappings. Mass shootings. The nightly news is a litany of brutality. Assassination. Subjugation. Deportation. We argue with each other while the rich get richer and cruelty is normalized. These are just a few of the reasons why the title of The Casualties’ new album is Detonate. Detonate is the second chapter in a new epoch for The Casualties. As their second album with David Rodriguez at the mic, it solidifies the vocalist’s partnership with drummer Marc “Meggers” Eggers and guitarist Jake Kolatis. “It’s like a new era for the band,” Meggers says. “It solidifies that Dave is here to stay.” As the follow-up to 2018’s Written in Blood and their first record for Hellcat Records—the Epitaph subsidiary curated by Tim Armstrong of Rancid—Detonate sees this new version of The Casualties locking into place. “We were in the studio for Written in Blood about eight months after I joined,” Rodriguez says. “With this new record, we really grew together. For me, it’s the proud moment where we clicked the three Legos together.” Tracklist: Intro (Too Little, Too Late) Detonate People Over Power Empire Falls Ashes Of War Allies And Assassins Brick By Brick Few The True Now And Tomorrow Eye For An Eye Pigs On Fire Streets Of Hatred Wake Up, Kill, Repeat UPC: 045778055722Label: Hellcat RecordsRelease Date: 7.17.26Format: CD

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Cate Kennan - Shadows (CD) (New (N))
Los Angeles musician Cate Kennan's self produced second full length unfolds with the poetry and immateriality of it's title: Shadows. Ten vignettes of keys, strings, reverb, and voice, the songs sway and lope between dream and lullaby, rose-colored but remote. The album was inspired by the dislocation Kennan felt upon returning, after several years away, to the rustic neighborhood northwest of L.A. where she'd grown up: "Wandering through a place where my life once existed but where everything had quietly shifted with time."The music conjures a mood of distance, dust, and dazed emotion, alternately lulling and unraveling. From shuffling tumbleweed vignettes ("The Lone West," "Romantic Strings") to sepia-tone torch songs ("Shadows," "Reverie") to oblique keyboard meditations ("Moonlight," "Rain"), Kennan's soundworld moves with a muted, murky beauty, like alluring shapes seen through smudged glass. In her hands, haze is a transformative property, liberating melody and memory into landscapes still untraveled: "What began as a period of nostalgia for me turned into a longing, not for the past, for a place that might exist somewhere beyond the horizon."

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Cd Ghost - When The Rain Stops (CD) (New (N))
When The Rain Stops is the forthcoming indie pop LP from LA duo CD Ghost and marks the band's most mature work to date. Balancing two sonic palettes - in-your-face dance beats and glossy synths alongside warm, dreamy guitars and laid-back acoustic drums - the album explores themes of fate, love, and disaster while grasping for something to hold onto as everything falls apart. Ethereal and cinematic yet vulnerable and grounded, When The Rain Stops finds CD Ghost with their head in the clouds but feet still firmly planted on the ground.For Fans of Toro y Moi / Washed Out / Neon Indian / Beach House Nation Of Language Tracklist: Trinity When The Rain Stops Lost And Found No Words Fallen Angels Identity Feign Sans Soleil Thorns Castle UPC: 820233288217Label: Born Losers RecordsRelease Date: 7.17.26Format: CD

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Ceremony - Tell Me Your Dream (CD) (New (N))
Across two decades, the California-born hardcore outfit CEREMONY has earned its standing as one of punk’s most adaptable and unflinching bands, always ready to meet the moment without surrendering its principles. True to form, CEREMONY's seventh album, Tell Me Your Dream pushes the group’s punk-forged intensity all the way to the fore, capturing the quintet at its most expressive, expansive, and timely. “We’re living in an era of mass uncertainty,” says CEREMONY vocalist Ross Farrar. “In punk, I don’t see how you can’t respond. It’s taken over our lives in so many different ways — economically, politically, spiritually. We want people to wake up and get into what’s happening.” Ferociously alert, Tell Me Your Dream reunites CEREMONY — Farrar, guitarist-keyboardist Anthony Anzaldo, guitarist Andy Nelson, bassist Justin Davis and drummer Jake Casarotti — with producer John Reis for ten songs of searing breadth. That means everything from bristling hardcore to moody post-punk — all while taking fundamental inspiration from Discharge, Crass, and other anarcho-punk troupes that first helped certain members of CEREMONY find their own political voices back when they were teenagers. The result is a culmination of the band’s 21 years together, if not some kind of riddle: CEREMONY knows how to make a return-to-form sound like evolution — and vice versa. Equally loud and clear is the fact that CEREMONY isn’t hesitating to raise its voice at a moment when the underground has grown strangely quiet. “Why aren’t punk bands actually saying the word ‘Palestine’ on their records?” asks CEREMONY guitarist Andy Nelson. “We didn’t want to make anything that felt light, or empty, or apolitical. Our intent is to not waste anyone’s time, and to encourage people to think about what they settle for.” On Tell Me Your Dream, you’ll hear Palestine cited over the ferocious bounce of “Madness,” a post-punky indictment of war’s obscenity — and the obscene amounts of cash required to wage it. But if you listen closely, you may also hear Farrar working to reconcile issues of broadscale sociopolitical violence with his most intimate personal struggles. Within 30 minutes, Tell Me Your Dream revisits all previous eras of the greater CEREMONY arc, with each track gaining intensity as it plays off the prior. The anarcho scorch marks of “Other Hells” give way to the deep-pocketed groove of the aforementioned “Madness,” followed by the jet-black jangle of “Dark Summer,” a post-punk rumination during which Farrar reminds us, “You only hit bottom when you stop digging.” Deep connections in a shallow world. A clear sense of purpose in uncertain times. These are the reasons CEREMONY continues to grow, to expand, to adapt, to endure. This band can’t stop. And it won’t. To meet the moment, you have to be there for it.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Chanel Beads - Your Day Will Come (CD) (New (N))
First things first: yes, Chanel Beads’ second album, Your Day Will Come, has the same title as the experimental project’s 2024 breakthrough debut. But this is a completely new body of work, not a “part two,” a rehash or a re-do. If his initial impulse was to poke fun at the apparatus that divides music into chapters, as the songs developed, Shane Lavers found the phrase carried deeper nuance, evoking the duel between certainty and doubt that preoccupied his psyche. Though the phrase unfurls with conviction, a slight shift in emphasis can inspire unsettling ambiguities: Will your day come? What will it be like? How can you be sure? These dualities were top of mind when Lavers wrote “Song for the Messenger,” the track that properly introduces Your Day Will Come’s expanded vision. Like the majority of the album, it was made as Lavers adjusted to life as a full-time musician. Thoughts had more room to bounce around and curdle inside his head, and he often felt dulled down by a world that can feel absurdly cruel. On “Song for the Messenger,” the future collapses into itself as “the days still move and the window closes slowly.” “While writing the songs I kept asking myself, ‘If you are really so hopeless, what does your life look like with that clarity,’” Lavers says. Raised in the suburbs of Minnesota, Lavers began making music under the name Chanel Beads while living in Seattle back in 2016. When he wasn’t working at a library for the blind, he was collaging synthetic sounds and real instruments into beguiling songs fundamentally averse to genre. He was living in New York by 2022, as tracks like “Ef” and “True Altruism” captivated certain online circles with their androgynous vocals, uncanny artifice, and stirring intimacy. In the years since Chanel Beads’ entrancing introduction, the project has gone from playing house shows and illegal abandoned train tunnel shows, all the way up to supporting Lorde on her recent North American arena tour. The second iteration of Your Day Will Come catalogues a sonic shift and evolution in Chanel Beads’ sound. This time around, it’s layered with more original parts and players. Violinist Zachary Paul has a greater presence, though Lavers continues to toy with the semiotic baggage of plug-ins. The gossamer voice of Maya McGrory can once again be heard across the album, and she co-wrote the majestic “Silver Cup.” These 14 songs are increasingly fleshed out and structured, a result of a more collaborative approach that embraced spontaneity and imperfections. Casual hangs led to contributions from friends like Tchad Cousins (Urika’s Bedroom), Mari Maurice (More Eaze), Anastasia Coope, and Bella Litsa. “Dust in the Wind” is a joint effort with Isaac Eiger of Strange Ranger and Threshold, marking the first co-write from someone outside the core trio of Lavers, McGory, and Paul. Neither a solo project nor a band, Chanel Beads is “defined by the negatives,” says Lavers. Though the stages have grown larger, the spirit of Chanel Beads remains steadfastly underground. Lavers made Your Day Will Come at his small and sparsely furnished Brooklyn studio, with the speakers positioned so close to his face that he could feel air emit from every thump of the kick drum. He embraces the attitude of “if it works, leave it be,” recording into whatever microphone is around and going off that version. “We start the recording before the song is written, and then you work the song into the recording,” Lavers says. “We don’t make demos, that's a hard and fast rule. Which we’ll break eventually.” Lavers’ fragmented lyrics are full of open-ended questions, exploring the dichotomies that inform our reality. He was particularly consumed by the coexistence of nihilism and love, saying, “It feels as if one should obliterate the other, but they don't.” Emotional sublimation is central to Chanel Beads, as if you can white-knuckle something so hard that it becomes transcendent. Snarling beasts and shame accompany proclamations of devotion on “JBL in the Fireplace”: “That’s when they set the dogs on you/Fuck this world I still have love for you.” Drawing from Lavers’ own experiences, Your Day Will Come uses dream logic to delve into liminality and precarious remembrance. It’s colored by the spectres of specific losses, but also how you can haunt yourself by falling back into old habits. The elegiac centerpiece, “Tyler Richard,” is haunted by the ‘have we met before?’ sensation. Initially gentle and twinkling, each verse draws into a tighter fist until it bursts open in ecstatic despair. “It’s about the feeling when someone who has passed appears in a dream, and you wake up and have to remember that they are gone,” Lavers says. “As your life moves forward, grief can recur in these ways that feel like time flattens and circles back in on itself.” “I thought I saw you smiling in all my memories,” Lavers spits on the gleefully caustic “The Coward Forgets His Nightmare.” “It’s hard to dedicate yourself to art and not also indulgently dedicate yourself to yourself,” he says. “To me, that one is explicitly about reaching the end of your life, having lived in music, and wondering if you did the wrong thing.” As the veil falls on the present, you look back on a past littered with lost futures.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Chat Pile - Who Loves The Sun (CD) (New (N))
In a world increasingly shaped by disposable content, Chat Pile answer with something defiantly real and organic, a mentality that permeates Who Loves The Sun, their third full-length record. Since the band's formation just over six years ago, the Oklahoma City-based quartet Chat Pile has grown from a scrappy passion project into one of the defining heavy acts to emerge from the 2020s underground. Ray B. (vocals), L. Manhole (guitar), Stin (bass), and Cap'n Ron (drums) create a crushing, crass, and cathartic take on noise rock that captures a raw, undeniably human essence in an age marked by technological overreach and the cold state of society. Nothing about Who Loves The Sun feels synthetic. Whereas their debut album God's Country depicted a particularly American flavor of dread, and the follow up Cool World showed a cruel planet defined by global systemic violence, Who Loves The Sun peels the skin back on how collective indifference defines this new century. Spanning imagery of coastlines devouring cities, dead-end jobs, and submission to data-driven inauthenticity, the album dissects the apathy-bloated state of 21st-century existence as a slow-motion apocalypse. As with much of Chat Pile's work, Oklahoma City itself looms over the album like a character, it's sprawling isolation, economic contradictions, and underlying sense of decay embedded in the fabric of the record. The perfect allegory for the thematic essence of Who Loves The Sun is the photo embossed on the record's cover, where Devon Tower, a glassy, largely vacant monolith, looms high above the Oklahoma City skyline while a burnt-out home or storefront envelops the foreground. The album remains lyrically and sonically confrontational, but Chat Pile approached the songwriting with hooks in mind, drawing on melodic tones of pre-2000s indie rock, alt-rock, and new wave. From the blood-soaked vocal passages of "Christabel '26" to the eerie trip-hop pulse of "Same Rules," Who Loves The Sun is deeply human despite it's allusions to a dying, divided.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Chloe Slater - Riot Youth (CD) (New (N))
Chloe Slater’s debut album ‘Riot Youth’ unfolds in the fleeting, chaotic moments before doomsday – a coming of age record fit for the modern world. Arriving right on time in an era when hopelessness and nihilism run rife, painting the truest portrait of what it is to be young, British, and brave enough to be hopeful today. Across 10 tracks, she departs her signature, succinct commentary on the issues plaguing her generation: social divide, toxic internet culture, our dwindling sense of community, the climate crisis and, ultimately, the vampirish billionaire class cashing in on our collective misery. She playfully shifts from these frank descriptions of society to moments of gorgeous, gut-punching poetry, crafting anthemic choruses and intoxicating one-liners from the gripes many of us can barely muster the words for.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Citizen - Halcyon Blues (CD) (New (N))
Citizen's persistent sonic evolution and refusal to make the same record twice has earned them a reputation as one of the most consistently captivating bands in modern rock music. It's precisely this commitment to their craft that has led to their new album, Halcyon Blues. It's a dynamic and confident culmination of all that's come before, making it crystal clear that for all their sonic restlessness, Citizen have always known exactly who they are. From the start, the band-vocalist Mat Kerekes, guitarist Nick Hamm, bassist Eric Hamm, along with newer members guitarist Mason Mercer and drummer Ben Russin-were steadfastly determined to follow their creativity wherever it led. Over the years they deftly moved through raw emo, menacing post-hardcore, anthemic alternative, garage-y indie pop, and so much more. Now Halcyon Blues brings elements from throughout their entire catalog together into a singular and instantly satisfying record that just sounds like Citizen. Where past Citizen albums have felt like direct responses to the preceding release, Halcyon Blues sounds like the group wrapping their arms around their entire catalog and carrying it forward. Recorded by Kerekes in his home studio in Tole- do, then mixed by Tom Lorde-Alge (U2, Weezer, Blink182), the record taps into the urgency and ferocity of Citizen's early albums while embracing the epic scope and undeniable hooks of their more recent work. These are huge rock songs with fittingly huge emotions, but the youthful frustration of Citizen's early work has grown up too, replaced by a more nuanced, though no less cutting, adult perspective.

After the success of Codeine's Frigid Stars LP, the trio of Stephen Immerwahr, John Engle, and Chris Brokaw booked time at Harold Dessau Recording in June 1992 to track an eight-song sophomore album. A few days and a couple of unexplainable high-pitched frequencies later, the record was scrapped, shelved, and forgotten about. Brokaw left the band shortly after, and these songs were re-tracked in various iterations for Codeine's final LP. Numero has unearthed these recordings, restoring the original White Birch to the band's exacting standards with producer Mike McMackin.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Corey King - Change The Wind (CD) (New (N))
With a 2021 GRAMMY win for his work alongside Esperanza Spalding, composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Corey King has quietly become one of contemporary music's most versatile voices. His career spans collaborations with artists as varied as Milton Nascimento, Gil Scott-Heron, Bonobo, DJ Premier, and Iggy Pop, shaping a sound that moves fluidly between jazz, soul, experimental songwriting, and cinematic composition.On Change the Wind, King brings that range into a focused, deeply personal statement. Written across years of upheaval and transition, the album balances intimacy with scope, moving between quiet reflection and expansive, full-band arrangements. Themes of resilience, clarity, and emotional recalibration run throughout, giving the record a sense of cohesion that feels lived-in rather than conceptual.At it's core is a profound sense of devotion and vulnerability, most clearly felt in "R.M.K," a luminous piece inspired by the birth of King's daughter. Without lingering on narrative detail, the song anchors the album emotionally, setting the tone for a body of work concerned with care, responsibility, and the fragility of connection. Elsewhere, King explores love, doubt, and personal growth with a light but steady touch, favoring mood and movement over explicit storytelling. Musically, Change the Wind is rich without being dense. Warm piano, layered vocals, and chamber-like brass arrangements are threaded through with broken-beat rhythms and subtle electronic textures. At times the record leans into groove and propulsion, with Afrobeat-informed passages and dynamic horn sections, while elsewhere it pulls back into sparse, intimate spaces. Contributions from close collaborators, including Spalding and trumpeter Takuya Kuroda, add depth without overwhelming the album's cohesive feel. Rather than spotlighting individual tracks, Change the Wind reveals itself as a complete listening experience, one that unfolds gradually and rewards attention over time. It is a record about steady transformation, about finding clarity Tracklist: R.M.K Distant Ray Spyder Worms The Damndest Off the Embankment Did We See That Coming Ill-will to Goodwill Annapurna UPC: 840526510504Label: Western VinylRelease Date: 7.24.26Format: CD

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Crack The Sky - Blessed (CD) (New (N))
Crack the Sky's 20th studio album, Blessed captures the band's unique ability to blend sharp wit, emotional depth, and musical sophistication into something completely their own. Blessed carries the unmistakable Crack the Sky sound: intelligent lyrics, inventive arrangements, melodies that linger long after the album ends, and a sense of humor that never undercuts it's emotional impact. The album finds Crack the Sky operating with confidence, passion, and remarkable artistic freedom, delivering a collection of songs that are equally thoughtful and immensely enjoyable. The band celebrates it's 50th anniversary with four of it's five original members intact: John Palumbo - whose unmistakable creative vision has made Crack the Sky one of rock's most enduring treasures - guitarist and producer Rick Witkowski, and the distinctively locked rhythm section of Joe Macre (bass) and Joey D'Amico (drums). Guitarist Bobby Hird's Crack the Sky tenure spans 40+ years, and debuting keyboardist Bill Hubauer adds a progressive rock edge unheard since the band's earliest albums. Blessed feels like the work of artists who continue to challenge themselves creatively while never losing sight of what connects with listeners.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Cramps - Gravest Gravy (CD) (New (N))
"In October 1977, the Cramps ventured into Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee with producer and Cramps translator extraordinaire, Alex Chilton. The band had planned on recording their song 'TV Set,' as an A side, along with another track or tracks. Mr. Chilton told them the way he liked to work was to have a band record a lot of songs and from that they would pick the best of the bunch. Luckily for Cramps fans everywhere, the band did just that. The first evidence of these sessions was unleashed upon an "unsuspecting human world" in April 1978 on the band's own Vengeance Records label. It was a two song 7-inch with a version of the Trashmen's 1963 classic 'Surfin' Bird,' pushed well beyond it's breaking point, forcing it to mutate into a much higher form of lowdown, and Jack Scott's 1959 cool burning 'The Way I Walk,' dragged back into the Stone Age... After one listen, it was clear the Cramps had absolutely tapped into Rock 'n' Roll's mainline. In November of the same year, and again from the October 1977 sessions came another two song lesson in how it's done, or undone, with easily one of the greatest A sides of all time: 'Human Fly.' The B side was held hostage by "Domino," originally sung by Roy Orbison. The Cramps' version swaggers with infinite confidence and is an absolute thrill to listen to. In the summer of 1979, young degenerates in England were treated to a 12-inch by the Cramps called Gravest Hits, which featured not only the aforementioned four tracks, but also a fifth, again from the October 1977 sessions... "What happened to the rest of the tracks from those auspicious days in October 1977? In 2026, Larry Hardy, owner and operator of In The Red Records, repelled down, deep into the vast, sunless vault of the Cramps tape collection, and resurfaced hours later, disoriented and out of breath, but overjoyed with what he'd returned to topside with: six 1/4" reels of tracks, mixed by Lux [Interior] and [Poison] Ivy... Gravest Gravy is one of the purest collections of unrestrained, wild music you'll ever hear-like Jerry Lee Lewis unchained, like Elvis meets Tarzan-like it should be. The Cramps were one of the greatest bands in the history of recorded music, and anyone who heard or saw them, knows and abides by this groovin' truth. From their inception to this day, the band has fans whose enthusiasm for their life-changing music never wavers. The Cramps made this music for the love of Rock 'n' Roll. Lux and Ivy made this record for you." - Henry Rollins Tracklist: TV Set Weekend on Mars Twist ; Shout Jungle Hop I Can't Hardly Stand It Hungry the Natives Are Restless Domino Can't Find My Mind 1 Rockin' Bones 1 Problem Child 1 Rocket in My Pocket UPC: 769152437224Label: VengeanceRelease Date: 8.21.26Format: CD

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Creekbed Carter Hogan - Peasants Revolt (CD, Digipak) (New (N))
The world is ending, and rent is due. The empire is crumbling, and you're late refilling your meds. War is ceaseless, pandemics go unchecked, billionaires poison the well water and cops abduct neighbors while wildfires burn... but here at the hot dog stand, relief and joy are yours for five buck ninety-nine. This is PEASANTS REVOLT, the latest album from trans folksinger Creekbed Carter Hogan. Playing the part of court jester in the halls of a dying empire, Hogan croons, hollers, and grins in the face of despair as we feast together on one last humble supper before everything falls apart. A rollicking medieval-Americana manuscript, Hogan's new work anchors itself in transitions. PEASANTS REVOLT was written living and moving between the North and the South; sung by a body both pre- and post-trans affirming healthcare; and recorded during a time of genocide, federal occupation, and workers' uprisings. Decorating it's margins are influences spanning time and medium. Here, 14th century king-killer ballads sit next to Appalachian strike songs. Labor and union songs find kinship with Ethiopian jazz records. Hogan's work echoes with historical struggle, too, from the Haitian Revolution to the struggle for trans rights to the surreal futurism of Rio Grande Valley writer Fernando A. Flores. This album takes the entwinement of the personal and the political seriously, a path often walked by everyone from Hazel Dickens and John Prine to ANOHNI. The 10 tracks of PEASANTS REVOLT are themselves endlessly transitioning, hinging on mid-song shifts and building into wildfires that crackle and sputter with the courage of momentum and catchy hooks. By centering this work so deeply in the tumult of change, Hogan illuminates all of capitalism's attempts to isolate us - and the power that we regain when we refuse to face our lives and our selves alone.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Crooked Oak - From Little Acorns Grow (CD) (New (N))
Crooked Oak were a North East English folk group formed in the early 1970s by singer and multi-instrumentalist Steve Evans. Rooted firmly in traditional song and tune, the band combined clear, unaffected vocals with acoustic textures drawn from guitar, whistle, mandolin, dulcimer and bass. Alongside Evans, Paul Bagley and Jim Fraser helped shape a sound that was direct, melodic and unembellished, avoiding fashionable excess in favour of strong material and musicianship. Their privately issued 1976 LP is now regarded as a minor classic of British folk, praised for it's atmosphere, sincerity and emotional depth and is available again here. Tracklist: Hold the Lantern High Jimmy Clay Lord Inchyquinn, Fairmoyne Lasses and Sporting Paddy The Morning Lies Heavy on Me Paddys Green Shamrock Shore The Morning Dew and the Oak Tree Cold Hard Town The Village Fool Kilfonora Jig Green Mountain Home Air: Song of the Lonesome Boatman UPC: 741869416495Label: Good TimeRelease Date: 8.28.26Format: CD

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Dallas Good - Were The Watchtowers (CD) (New (N))
Were "The Watchtowers" is the final recordings of Dallas Good of The Sadies, recorded prior to his unexpected passing in February 2022. This collaboration between Good and Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire (originally calling their duo "The Watchtowers") had slowly been written and recorded over the course of a decade whenever the two had a spare weekend. "It has been the slowest moving musical endeavour of my entire life," Parry says. "We didn't plan to do it this way, it's just how it happened. Tiny, joyous flourishes of activity a couple times a year for over a decade." Many of Good's collaborators make guest appearances on the album, including Neko Case, Kurt Vile, Yo La Tengo, Jim Jarmusch, John Doe, Jon Spencer, Scott McCaughey, Gary Louris and Margaret Atwood. The album explores the cosmic, psychedelic Americana sounds that The Sadies perfected on 2022's Colder Streams that featured Parry in the producer's chair. The final track on the album "Not in This World" boasts a chorus of over 500 of Dallas' friends and fans from around the world singing together on Dallas' final piece of recorded music.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Dance Album of Carl Perkins (CD) (New (N))
Intervention Records is proud to announce the first CD/SACD release in it's Intervention Sun Records Hi-Fi Series, Carl Perkins' groundbreaking rockabilly classic, 1957's "Dance Album of Carl Perkins." Available for Preorder today.As great as many of these versions are from over the decades, arguably, no one ever did these tunes with more swag than Carl himself on "Dance Album!"The SMASH hits include Perkins-written classics like "Blue Suede Shoes," "Honey Don't," "Matchbox," and "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby." The album also includes Carl's covers of "Only You" and "Wrong Yo Yo." Intervention worked closely with Sun Records and the Archive Team at Iron Mountain to compile a completely NEW set of A/B reel master tapes for this release. In the late 1960s, when Shelby Singleton purchased Sun Records from legendary Sam Phillips, the original 7" single master tape reels were compiled onto many different sets of 1/4" tapes. Identifying any one tape as "THE master" for a given song is no longer possible, but hours and hours were spent by Sun and IR's Shane Buettner listening to tapes and identifying the absolute best sounding tape version of each and every song. Kelly Pribble, Mark Berger, and Scott Delaney at Iron Mountain made flat 1/4" transfers at our direction to a newly minted set of 1/4" A/B reels for this release. For the CD/SACD Extra Tracks Iron Mountain made DSD transfers directly from the analog master tapes. Gus Skinas at the Super Audio Center prepared Kevin Gray's mastered DSD files for the original repertoire, and mastered the extra tracks in the DSD domain using Gray's mastering notes as a guide. Of course, IR's paid no less attention to the album art, and very special thanks are owed to Joe Goldmark, who loaned us his very-hard-to-find original jacket for color reference. The album art is, of course, restored by IR Art Director Tom Vadakan and authentically realized by the wizards at Stoughton Printing.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: DARE - 369 Days (CD) (New (N))
The Dare is a four-piece all-girl band formed in November 2017 on Lombok Island, Indonesia. The members are Riri (vocals & guitar), Yollan (guitar), Meiga (bass), and Desita (drums). They released their debut EP 'Inthrovvvert' in 2018 and kicked off their live performances on April 21 of the same year at 'Record Store Day Lombok 2018. 'The band name 'The Dare' is derived from the Sasak word Dedare, meaning 'girl. ' Their name embodies the spirit of redefining girlhood as something brave and bold. Influenced heavily by the riot grrrl movement of the '90s, their music expresses resistance against gender discrimination, prejudice, and stereotypes-while also celebrating the joy of being a woman. Their sound is deeply inspired by indie pop bands from the K Records and Sarah Records scenes, as well as artists featured on the legendary C86 compilation-especially Heavenly and Tiger Trap. Growing up watching Japanese anime, the members also cite influences from theme songs like JUDY AND MARY's 'Sobakasu' (Rurouni Kenshin) and Hysteric Blue's 'Grow Up' (Ghost Stories), as well as Japanese punk and pop-punk bands like Shonen Knife and PiGGiES. In Indonesia's indie scene, The Dare commands a devoted following. Their limited-edition vinyl releases sell out instantly, and their packed live shows testify to their status as one of the most important indie pop bands in the region. Their latest EP, '369 Days' (2025), is a powerful work that touches on themes of life and death, love for those dearest, loss, and hope. The EP opens with the beachy instrumental 'White Sand' (A1), followed by pure sing-along guitar pop tracks like 'Sunburn' (A2) and 'Slanky Fools' (A3). Side B continues with the sparkling melancholy of 'Yes Sir!' (B1), the Dolly Mixture-inspired 'BLA BLA BLAH' (B2), the catchy, surf-tinged indie rock of 'Hello Mama' (B3), and more. With a total of eight tracks, this landmark release blends indie pop and twee pop with touches of riot grrrl, pop punk, surf, and tropical vibes-ready to take this Lombok-born girl group to the world stage. For fans of... Dolly Mixture, Drizzly. , The Drums, Go Sailor, Grrrl Gang, Heavenly, Sobs, Teenage Fanclub, Tennis, Tiger Trap, and more.

Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Dari Bay - Surprise Wish (CD) (New (N))
Surprise Wish is the sophomore album from Burlington, Vermont indie-rock project Dari Bay and the band's first release for Double Double Whammy. Following the cult-favorite debut Longest Day of the Year (2023), songwriter Zack James sharpens the project's sound into something more immediate and visceral: scuzzy guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and conversational vocals that feel both intimate and unguarded.Raised in Brattleboro, Vermont in a musical family, James has spent years immersed in the region's DIY scene - playing with artists like Lily Seabird and Greg Freeman, writing in the band Robber Robber, and touring as a member of Unknown Mortal Orchestra. With Surprise Wish, he distills that experience into his most focused songwriting yet.Written largely alone over the course of a year while James finished college and balanced multiple projects, the album embraces a raw, homespun approach. Rather than chasing genre aesthetics, James leaned into instinct and immediacy, building songs around ideas that arrived suddenly and refused to leave. The result is a record that blends '90s alt-rock, indie, and slacker rock into something both familiar and newly restless.Across it's nine songs, Surprise Wish captures the strange emotional terrain of young adulthood - a life shaped by the internet, isolation, friendship, near-disasters, and flashes of fragile hope. Tracks like the fuzzed-out rocker "The Joke," the spiraling character study "Chevy," and the cathartic single "We're Gonna Be Okay" pair distorted guitars with lyrics that feel searching, self-aware, and quietly funny.At once scrappy and assured, Surprise Wish is a portrait of a person coming into being.
