Season To Risk

1-800-Meltdown Season To Risk RSD 2025 Neon Green Vinyl edition

Season To Risk are one of the pioneers of the "noise rock" genre alongside Unsane and Helmet, putting out two major label albums on Sony Music in 1993 and 1995 both featuring artwork by the top in the industry at the time (Frank Kozik and Derek Hess). They toured non-stop from 1989 to 2003, recording and releasing their final full-length in 2001 with Jason Livermore and Bill Stevenson of the Descendents and All, on their Owned & Operated label.

Then the band went on hiatus. In 2019 and 2020 they self-released vinyl versions of their independent releases, selling out modest 300 copy runs, and then in 2021 put out a rarities compilation cassette called 1-800-MELTDOWN in a run of 100 copies. In 2024 the band reformed and started playing live again, and are currently working on a new full-length album!

This Limited edition LP (with a completely different tracklisting from the cassette with the same title) features the song the band performed in the Kathryn Bigelow film "Strange Days" (which the label refused to put on the soundtrack CD release because the song was deemed “too noisy”), alongside rarely-heard rarities, compilation tracks and B-sides that span the career of the band (and which feature members of Shiner and The Life And Times) It also includes the first new S2R song released since 2001 -- a brand new track written and recorded in 2024.

Limited to 1000 copies worldwide and pressed on neon green vinyl with glow in the dark ink on the jacket. The band will be touring the Midwest and East Coast following the release of this LP!
