Chris Wilson
Landlocked, Faithless & Free- 30th Anniversary Reissue
PRE-ORDER NOW - OUT DECEMBER 16TH
|
|
Cheersquad Records & Tapes are stoked to present Chris Wilson’s Landlocked, Faithless & Free, a very special 30th Anniversary Reissue that sees Chris Wilson's original 1992 album Landlocked released on vinyl for the first time, and expanded to a double LP/double CD with the inclusion of tracks from the associated CD EPs The Big One and Alimony Blues.
Landlocked was Chris Wilson's first solo album, and it saw Wilson nominated for two ARIA Awards - for Best Male Artist and Breakthrough Artist, Album - and acclaimed by Rolling Stone as a “major talent”. It followed his releases with the Crown of Thorns and Pub Dogs (see Cheersquad's 2022 reissue of the Pub Dogs’ Scatter's Liver), and preceded the classic live album Live at The Continental (which belatedly made the ARIA Top 20 album charts when reissued by Cheersquad in 2020).

Landlocked was co-produced by Wilson, engineer Doug Roberts and guitarist Shane O'Mara, who is also known for his work with Paul Kelly amongst many others, including new Cheersquad signing, The Silversound. The rhythm section comprised Chris' faithful sideman Chris 'Dodgy' Rogers on bass and erstwhile Paul Kelly drummer Peter Luscombe. Jen Anderson (Black Sorrows, Weddings Parties Anything) guested on violin, Evil Graham Lee (Triffids) on pedal steel and Rebecca Barnard (Rebecca's Empire etc) on vocals.
The magnificent vinyl double album contains sixteen tracks, four more than the original CD. The double CD has 20 tracks. Out on Friday 16 December, just in time for Christmas. Pre-order your copy now!

Freya Josephine Hollick
Spend Your Christmas With Rita
DIGITAL OUT NOW - 7" SINGLE DECEMBER 23TH
|
|
Fresh from the recent release of her acclaimed 3rd album 'The Real World' and the most prolific period of her career, Freya Josephine Hollick announces a limited 7” vinyl single for the song ‘Spend Your Christmas with Rita’, backed with a gorgeous rendering of the classic ‘Blue Christmas’.
The gas station torch balladry of ‘Spend Your Christmas with Rita’ finds Buick 6 and Freya’s Australian band in full Honeydrippers mode. Freya narrates the faded star story of Rita, a woman in charge of her destiny and in pointed refusal of the patriarchal dilemma.

The Hard-Ons
Reissue of Yummy - OUT TODAY!
|
|
Many a fan's favourite Hard-Ons album and the one that includes the evergreen “Where Did She Come From?”, 1990’s “Yummy!” was also the band's most commercially successful, until the release last year of “I'm Sorry Sir, That Riff's Been Taken”. And while the new decade saw the band pushing to new extremes - they were becoming punkier, poppier and more metal all at the same time, becoming leaders in a range of different styles that would become hugely successful types of alternative music, from pop-punk, to hardcore, to thrash, as the decade progressed - “Yummy!” was their pop opus. At heart though, of course, they were still the boys from Punchbowl, and the album maintained their uniquely Australian outsider appeal.
This reissue is available on Black Vinyl, plus the following limited editions of 100 copies only: Fluro Yellow Limited Edition Vinyl, Fluro Green Limited Edition Vinyl, Recycle Mix Limited Edition Vinyl.
