The band recorded an album with Dave Grohl a few years ago but it has been in limbo ever since all the record companies bought each other out awhile ago. Remember that? ugh.
Anyway, looks like the album is about to see the light of day.
2006 begins with bang for the Hard Luck 5. Our first release in almost 3 years, Chariots On Fire is a 4 song EP produced by Dave Grohl and engineered by Grammy Award winning producer Nick Raskulinecz. It will be unleashed on Tuesday, January 17th and will be available on CD in Europe only. Stateside it will be available digital download through all major online retailers. By the way, the artwork is sick.
We will be joining the Foo Fighters in January as support for their European tour. We will be doing a bunch of solo shows as well. We are really excited to bring our live show back to Europe, and give the Europeans something we have deprived them of for far too long. If youre lucky enough to be in the NYC tri-state area, you can catch us in a few area appearances before the tour begins. Check out the tour dates for details.
In April we will release our long awaited album Curses. A collection of 12 brand spanking new songs produced by Dave Grohl. An ass kicker of album by any mans standards, it could blow the beard off of any hipsters face and could melt the star tattoos on any gals body. We know it has been a long time coming, but it is well worth the wait. These are the best Rye Coalition songs to date. The mixes are hot and the album cover is hotter. We cant wait to give birth to this little monster so we can watch it wreak havoc on the earth. Fans.Nurture the baby. Love the monster. Love it like its your own. It is our gift to you.
