We have been talking about putting out a split 7″ between Rocky Votolato and Chad Price for some time now and are excited to announce that this idea will soon become reality. Originally intended to be an under the influence 7″, it was later suggested that we release a split 7″ featuring a track from Chad Price’s most recent album, “Smile Sweet Face” as Rocky Votolato is a huge fan of the track, “This Cross”. Rocky contributed the original and exclusive track, “Transparent” to round out the split 7″. We were set to go as is, but when Rocky was in town, I asked if he would be into covering a song by Chad and having Chad cover a song by Rocky. Both agreed. Rocky recorded a cover of the Drag the River track, “Best & Worst”, a song that Chad Price sings from the “Garage Rock” 7″ and “Bad at Breaking Up” collection CD. Chad recorded a cover of the Rocky Votolato track, “Silver Trees” from “The Brag and Cuss”.
The 7″ will be pressed in an edition of 1,000 copies, 500 on transparent blue and all other pressings will be on black vinyl, starting with 500 on black. The 7″ will be bundled with an mp3 coupon. We are planning to release the 7″ on March 13th, 2010, but if all goes well, we will have copies in hand around the end of February. It is an honor to be doing this split 7″. I have been a long time fan of Rocky Votolato and both Chad and Rocky are long time friends.
Track Listing:
1. This Cross

when you create a playlist in itunes – select all the tracks and under the “sorting” tab, title the “sort album” as the name of the playlist, and under the “options” tab, click the “part of a complilation” check box and select “yes”. easy peasy. that way it doesn’t change the name of the artists or albums, but the playlist stays organized.
oh – i missed a step… after you’ve selected all the tracks, right click and choose “get info”. it’ll ask you if you want to edit multiple artist info… just say yes.
i make a lot of playlists…
I CAN’T F&%#ING BELIEVE IT! This news is better than Christmas!
That’s exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
hey buddies i love the new site and as you know ive been missing the fairlanes welcome to nowhere and it makes my year that you have that and drive to nowhere! as i listen to them i just miss when i could go see them play it was a different world then! and we all wish the best for you guys in the new one!
the lack of any MD dates makes me sad.
i so wish i could make this. gonna be a great time.
Should play the Dover Brick House in Dover, NH. Two Cow Garage gets a lot of play in the bar and they have a great set up for live shows.
I am pretty thrilled about tonights St Pete show. I have not seen Drag/Jon in over a year. Even though they’ve been back to FL several times since. That article by Scott on Nine Bullets pretty much sums up my thoughts on DTR and music in general.
