Chuck Ragan

SideOneDummy is gearing up for the release of Chuck Ragan's new solo full length Gold Country on September 1st. The label now has two songs from the record online streaming, you can check out "Glory" and "Rotterdam" at the label's website. Chuck comments in the press release:

We recorded the record at Flying Whale Studio up on this six acre mining claim called Arrowhead Mines. It's an old local mine that was pretty well known back in the day. The record is just another page in the book and another chapter in life and it's documenting where we are in that moment of time. Right now Gold Country is what I've lived for, everything I've worked to achieve and hold sacred and everything I strive to get home to.

SideOne has also revealed that the Revival Tour, which Ragan headlined last year with the frontmen of Avail, Against Me!, Lucero and others, will return this fall. There's no word yet on who will perform or the routing, but the label is now calling it an annual event.
