The Cranberries, Remembering Dolores

In September 2021, marking what would have been Dolores O’Riordan's 50th birthday, a specially curated 15-track streaming-only compilation of songs from the band’s catalogue was released, entitled Remembering Dolores. This is the 2LP version of that digital collection, with three bonus tracks.

Stiff Little Fingers, BBC Live In Concert

This double LP features two high energy performances from the influential Northern Irish punk rockers, recorded for the BBC. Fronted by singer/guitarist Jake Burns, the first LP of this set kicks off with 'Roots, Radicals, Rockers & Reggae', recorded at London’s Paris Theatre in 1981.

The Academic, Community Spirit

The Academic’s self-produced Community Spirit EP is getting its first physical release – available exclusively for Record Store Day 2022.

“Over lockdown I’d been spending a lot of time learning how to record and produce,” The Academic's frontman Craig Fitzgerald told Hot Press last year, around the time of the digital release of the EP. “We wanted to make something, because we couldn’t tour. We just locked ourselves away, and I took on the production reins – which is a bit of a stress! But we always like to be pushed out of our comfort zones, and with this release we definitely are.”

Amy Michelle, is that all there is?

Following its digital release earlier this year, Amy Michelle's is that all there is? is now available as a special Record Store Day physical release. Combining the devastatingly raw introspection of Phoebe Bridgers with the dark pop edge of Billie Eilish, the Mullingar native released the EP after signing to UK label Method Records.
