Weakened Friends to Release LIVE FROM HELL LP, Tour With Menzingers Sept 25
The record was captured live at The Sinclair in Boston and will bypass streaming exclusives for indie retailers.
WEAKENED FRIENDS will release LIVE FROM HELL, a double-live album recorded at The Sinclair in Boston, MA, on September 25. The record will be pressed in a limited run exclusively for independently owned record stores rather than sold directly by the band or at live shows. Alongside the announcement, the band shared a video for the live version of Lightspeed from the album, shot by Justin Labaddie and Katya Veber and edited by Bob Sweeney. In September, WEAKENED FRIENDS will begin a North American tour with The Menzingers and Hot Water Music.
Fans will not be able to get the record from the band or at their shows. Instead, a super-limited run of the LP is being pressed exclusively for independently owned record stores across the country. The label says the release 'wanted to create something special and tangible for fans while also supporting the independent record stores that have supported artists like Weakened Friends and labels like us for decades.'
Sonia Sturino explains further:
'We're living in a world where 'content' is prioritized over art, where AI is rotting brains and boiling oceans. We're so sick of it, so this release needed to be as far removed from that narrative as possible. We wanted to create something special and tangible for fans while also supporting the independent record stores that have supported artists like us for decades.'
