Pre-Order Our Debut Album Now!

Well, kids, there she is. At long last our self-titled debut album is coming out. As you can see above we’re staying true to our roots and spitting in the wind with a vinyl release thanks to our old cohorts, Revelation Records. Red vinyl, gatefold LP with a fun little scavenger hunt for clues on the inside sleeve. Pre-order the vinyl here (digital download included).

The album is out June 12th and there will, of course, also be a digital release through all the usual outlets including iTunes, Bandcamp etc. We turned to our good friends and veteran music producers Eric Stenman (Thrice, Weezer, Saves The Day) and Mike Fratantuno (Black Eyed Peas) for production and advice and we’re pretty damn proud of the way it turned out. Alternative Press is streaming the album track ‘On Tonight’, so head there for a little preview!

‘The Brilliance’ is less a political song than a story about a rich kid who became the most powerful man in the world– not for his steadfast righteousness, conviction, education or drive, but simply because he was next in line to inherit the throne. Maybe he didn’t want to take this path. Maybe he didn’t think he had a choice. Whether he wanted it or not, entitlement and privilege was his free pass to get away with some pretty questionable behavior. It’s interesting what people will excuse or overlook for some, while they scrutinize and vilify others for insignificant or even imaginary reasons. They say that rock and roll is supposed to be dangerous. But it can never be as dangerous as politics.

Your Favorite Trainwreck was fortunate to work with director Geordie Stephens and Tool of North America on this project. None of this would be possible without their extraordinary vision and generosity.
