On Jan 26th 2024, Noise Real Records will be releasing The Hal Al Shedad’s debut self-titled LP from 1997. Remastered by Carl Saff (Big Business, Fu Manchu, Young Widows) and re-released on “Poisoned Blue” vinyl 27 years later (pre-order). Armed with slightly off-key vocals, discordant guitar lines, and driving basslines, The Hal Al Shedad were a force to be reckoned with. Today, we are premiering the remastered version of jangly album highlight "That One."

If you were lucky enough to catch them live, you know what a treat is was to see. Their live shows were a perfect marriage of frantic energy and thoughtful song arrangements. This release is no different. The album sequence feels curated to flow with the same charm that made the Hal Al Shedad so special. Playing shows and touring with bands like Rainer Maria, Four Hundred Years, and countless others, The Hal Al Shedad’s output definitely left a mark on the people they came in contact with.
