The band quickly earned a reputation on the road, self-releasing their debut full-length, ‘All Around’ (2015), selling hundreds of copies directly at shows while touring throughout North America. German label Gunner Records rereleased the album the following year, and the band embarked on a European tour to support it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir second LP, ‘In the Parlance of Our Times’ (2019, A-F Records), expanded on that foundation with harder-hitting songwriting, bigger melodies, and sharper lyrical themes. During the pandemic, the band released a heavier self-titled EP while continuing to evolve during Adam Hooks’ absence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing an extended hiatus and several side projects, Russian Girlfriends have reunited with original vocalist Adam Hooks and drummer JR Willoughby, bringing together the band’s strongest line-up to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new material builds on everything that came before—combining the urgency of their early punk roots with heavier guitars, tighter song-writing, and the experience gained from more than a decade of writing, recording, and touring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Never Better’ comes in three colours of vinyl, blue, grey and black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew Coke\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Violent Mind\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen Armed and Dangerous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dogs of Pompeii\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrones Over Jersey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMosaic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-order Russian Girlfriends ‘Never Better’ EP now and we will send asap when it arrives from the pressing plant in November, along with extra goodies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"High End Denim Records","offers":[{"title":"Blue","offer_id":67626743759158,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":67626743791926,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":67626743824694,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/2887\/3270\/files\/a2382656349_10.jpg?v=1790990996","url":"https:\/\/highenddenimrecords.com\/products\/pre-order-russian-girlfriends-never-better-12-ep","provider":"High End Denim Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
