Rye Coalition have reunited for his or her first new recordings in 20 years—covers of Shellac and Drive Like Jehu collected on a charity 7″ vinyl single. Titled Paid in Full, the one honors the late Steve Albini and Rick Froberg with covers of Shellac’s “Wingwalker” and Drive Like Jehu’s “Bullet Prepare to Vegas.” The band recorded the brand new music with Tom Beaujour. Order the one on Bandcamp and hearken to “Wingwalker” under.
All proceeds from Paid in Full—out July 18 through Ernest Jenning File Co.—go to Letters Charity, the nonprofit that Albini based along with his spouse, Heather Whinna, to assist Chicago households dwelling in poverty. Every copy is “distinctive, handmade, stamped, numbered, painted on letter pressed covers,” in line with the press launch. Rye Coalition’s final album, Curses, was recorded lengthy earlier than its 2006 launch, because of the band’s ill-fated signing to Dreamworks, as documented in The Story of the Exhausting Luck 5.
Again in April, Herb Wiley, a guitarist in Rye Coalition and the Black Hollies, revealed a prognosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig’s illness, and launched a GoFundMe web page.
