Where to Find the New Album

A lot of you’ve been emailing your ol’ pal Jake about where to find High Heels and Brushed Steel, our new greatest hits album (with two awesome new bonus tracks). Well, I can tell you where you won’t find it—in stores. According to the bullshit bean counters, there’s only so much shelf space, and the last Riders album “underperformed” (not in quality, brother, that’s all I have to say). The Powers That Be have decided a new album from the Midnight goddamn Riders won’t sell as much as some auto-tuned bimbo singing about her feelings. So guess who gets shown the door? Not the bimbo. You heard right, folks: The Midnight Riders got dropped from our label. And our take on that is: Good riddance to bad bullshit. Who needs ‘em? The Riders have never been about the corporate game anyway. The Riders are about the road, brother—connecting with fans, setting off fireworks, and delivering the best goddamn live show in the business. So all you diehard Midnighters out there eager to get your hands on High Heels and Brushed Steel, rest easy. Cause you’ll be able to buy it from the Riders themselves on our No Salvation fairgrounds tour this fall! We’re taking the album with us and selling it on tour. If you’re looking for the absolute greatest greatest hits album $25 can buy, and you wanna give a big “Screw you” to the record company bigwigs besides, we’ll see you on tour, cause the Riders are Ridin’ Out. Much love,

Jake
