Kansas City noise-rock band Season To Risk recently released 1-800-MELTDOWN for Record Store Day (Init Records), following that up immediately with a run of live dates in the central US.
The band debuted with major label Columbia in the 1990s heyday. The group never broke up, but opted for sporadic activity in recent years.
The new record is a compilation of rare and unreleased tracks, with vocalist Steve Tulipana noting, “This vinyl has our first new music in 25 years! 1-800-Meltdown compiles this new music with rare and unreleased tracks, including our song 'Undone' from our scene in the film Strange Days which was considered too noisy for the soundtrack. This record is more experimental and includes performances by all of the main band members who have played with us over the years, including the guys from Shiner.”
The band suggests more activity throughout 2025.
