Released: 25th November 2017. Label: Pirates Press. This unearthed live recording captures the level of energy that this band showed each time they hit the stage. Recorded in the spring of 2001, following the release of their debut LP, these iconic songs come through just as people will remember them: fast, loud, and hooky as hell - and always leaving you wanting more. Thankfully, THE BASTARDS delivered with the follow-up Viking LP. Capture a piece of history with this previously unreleased live album. Recorded at a show in Rochester, NY, it’s comprised entirely of songs off the first record and the intensity of that show can be heard perfectly through the speakers. Frederiksen and band are in top form, playing an unrelenting punk rock assault on the crowd. The sound is amazing, not exactly a hallmark of all punk live albums. Pirate Press has released all three records on 180-gram vinyl.http://www.groundcontrolmag.com/vinyl-vlog-289/

Release Date: November 26, 2021. Label: Viking Inc / Pirates Press Records. Total Length: 18:15. Pirates press Records could not be more proud to present this, the first solo recordings from infamous/notorious Rancid frontman Lars Frederiksen. Overflowing with the passion he's so well known for, these six songs are belted out with the authenticity and power that only Lars could bring to the table. The song selection holds deep personal meeting for Lars, as he writes in an inspired and detailed explanation within the packaging. Bringing together and reinventing songs from his other bands, and even including a few covers, it's quite clear to see how Important this release is for him. Many may remember that the pandemic sidetracked an endeavor to take this gig on the road. While there was one show at Eli's Mile High Club in Oakland just before the pandemic, the rest of the concert-going world has been waiting quite some time to see and hear Lars perform in this Billy Bragg inspired fashion. With this album in hand, it's safe to say you can expect to see Lars take this to fans across the globe... And as fans, we can all hope that this is just the start of more to come! https://www.altpress.com/features/la...ew-to-victory/ https://newnoisemagazine.com/album-r...iksen-victory/
