BETTER NOISE MUSIC Reveal RECORD STORE DAY (4/20) Exclusive Releases From DIRTY HEADS and THE HU
BETTER NOISE MUSIC CELEBRATE RECORD STORE DAY
(SATURDAY, APRIL 20)
WITH EXCLUSIVE RELEASES FROM SOCAL ALTERNATIVE ROCK OUTFIT
DIRTY HEADS AND MONGOLIAN ROCK GROUP THE HU
In coordination with Record Store Day on Saturday, April 20, BETTER NOISE MUSIC have announced two special offerings from label acts DIRTY HEADS and THE HU which will be available exclusively at all participating record stores (see locations HERE).
Southern California alternative rock outfit DIRTY HEADS will release a stunning 4-disc vinyl collector’s edition box set of their critically acclaimed 2022 album, MIDNIGHT CONTROL. The four discs’ artwork was created by Dave Foral and then assembled and rearranged by DIRTY HEADS percussionist Jon Olazabal who was assisted by John Wellman. They will contain all the tracks on the album’s digital deluxe version which was released in July 2023 which includes the 10 original tracks and 13 bonus tracks. The bonus tracks include acoustic versions of “Rescue Me,” (which spent an entire month at #1 on the Alternative radio charts), their take on Joe Walsh’s 1978 hit “Life’s Been Good,” which DIRTY HEADS performed on national TV on NBC’s “The Today Show and “Island Glow,” three Lo-Fi versions of album tracks, and three previously unreleased songs. Each MIDNIGHT CONTROL COLLECTOR'S EDITION box set will be unique as it is ethically packaged using 100% certified recycled papers and recycled vinyl.
“The ‘Midnight Control’ album is so special to us, it represents several years of our careers and our lives,” says vocalist Jared Watson. “After releasing the original version of the album last summer, we found ourselves going back and playing with some of the tracks that weren’t included on the original. Those songs suddenly came to life and by the end of the year, we knew that we had to get them out to our fans. So that’s what we’ve been doing this year with ‘Rescue Me,’ ‘John Linen’ and the new version of ‘Island Glow’ with our friends Monsieur Periné. Now that we’re back on the road, it felt like the perfect time to get the rest of these songs out so our fans can dig into them this summer. We’re especially stoked about the Lo-Fi tracks, they’re so sick!”
Catch DIRTY HEADS on a co-headlining tour this summer with Slightly Stoopid. The band will also be seen headlining the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, CO on July 1 and will also make a stop at Beachlife Festival in Redondo Beach on May 3.
