Dance Hall Crashers have released “Don’t Call,” another unreleased track that the band previously lost during the Purr era.
Along with the previously released “Ambush,” these are just two of seven previously unreleased songs. Four of the songs were previously recorded before the band went on hiatus, and then lost and forgotten about, before being found again this year. Three others were formerly only ever released in Japan.
“The fact that we had four songs sitting around for two decades that we lost, forgot about, and then found again is pretty on brand for DHC. Digging up this music time capsule was a pretty mind-bending and unexpected gift, so of course we wanted to share our ’new’ old songs with our fans.”
“With finding these lost songs, we felt like the new deluxe release deserved new art as well, so we asked our friend Sam Grinberg, who has done amazing art and animation for us, for his take on it.”
More than a quarter-century later, these songs will finally see the light of day. For the fans who have loved the band since the 1990s, the release reconnects the years that have passed. And for a new generation, it offers the PURR-fect introduction to the one of a kind band Dance Hall Crashers.
