We figured it was about time to share another song from our reissue of Over There … and Over Here by the Red Rippers. “Firefight” recounts a combat story told to songwriter Ed Bankston by a Marine and fellow Vietnam veteran after a show–he also gave Ed a killer peach cobbler recipe.
The Red Rippers in the Village Voice and beyond, including a new interview with Ed Bankston. Details on Hiss Golden Messenger pre-orders are forthcoming. And Steve Gunn plays in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia.
Despite the winter chill, things are heating up at Paradise HQ; we have a full slate of upcoming releases, and it’s getting busier around here. First, we’re pleased to announce that you can now purchase MP3 albums of select PoB releases from this website. Second, lots of press and news to share about the Red Rippers, HGM, Chance, and Steve Gunn.
A new Hiss Golden Messenger album, given the songs’ lyrical concerns for the cycles of nature and truths both cosmic and domestic, always seems to correspond somehow to a season’s reach. We released the autumnal Poor Moon on the Day of the Dead (Nov. 1) back in 2011, and the new eagerly anticipated, full-length, full-band follow-up, Haw, arrives on April 2, at the crest of Spring.
The new album from HGM, widely hailed as their best yet and one of the year’s most critically acclaimed records, is now available. Selah!
The much anticipated, full-length, full-band follow-up to the critically acclaimed 2011 album Poor Moon (PoB-02), these 11 exquisite songs about faith, family, and an ill-prophesied future represent HGM’s most ambitious and urgent work yet, conjuring dark, half-remembered dreams. (ON SALE)
We are delighted to announce yet another addition to the PoB roster of contemporary artists: young Nashville country-rock band Promised Land. Despite only being together for a short while, these boys are already choogling like a well-oiled machine, conjuring visions of the International Submarine Band, CCR, and Jesse Ed Davis.
