runforcover Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Pre-order the RFC reissues of The Casket Lottery's first three LP's here: www.runforcoverstore.com Twenty years into its existence, The Casket Lottery is still evolving at its own pace. Over the course of four full length records, four EPs and countless other 7" singles, the Kansas City band has flirted with fidgety math rock, atmospheric explorations and anthemic singalongs, all while showcasing a masterful ability to balance world-weary heavy hearts with bombastic choruses that explode into stadium-sized fireworks displays. While the band has taken a few hiatuses over the past decade (with members contributing to other projects like Coalesce, Appleseed Cast, Able Baker Fox, Jackie Carol and singer Nathan Ellis' solo work), every return to action finds The Casket Lottery recharged and refocused, eagerly annexing new musical territories while still retaining that ragged, restless fire that sparked the band two decades prior. This spring the band will be playing shows to help celebrate the rerelease of their first three LPs Choose Bronze (1999), Moving Mountains (2000), and Survival Is For Cowards (2002) on Boston label Run For Cover Records. The now-classic, long out-of-print albums are being repressed in limited quantities and will be available individually and in a box set available on Record Store Day 2018. Limited pre-sale is now available from Run For Cover. Tickets for the upcoming shows will be on-sale this Friday, January 12th at 10am local time (all tour dates below).

MyEnemy Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Already own Choose Bronze, no idea why I don't already own Moving Mountains or Survival Is For Cowards. And I am a sucker for a box set. @runforcover will you have any in the webstore? Or are you saying we should buy the bundle right now Edited January 10, 2018 by MyEnemy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
