Reigning Sound: Time Bomb High School LP

Back in 2002, Reigning Sound unleashed "Time Bomb High School", an earth-scorching platter of rock and roll that conquered the hearts and ears of everyone from Little Steven Van Zandt to The Hives' Howlin' Pelle Almqvist. "Time Bomb High School" has since become a cratedigger's grail, out of print on vinyl since its initial release. Now those seekers have reason to rejoice: "Time Bomb High School" is returning to vinyl; remastered and featuring new cover art by Greg Cartwright. The songs are as alive as ever, but the heart of this edition of "Time Bomb High School" lies in its sequencing, which was kept true to the 2002 first pressing. The Side 1 features mid-tempo ballads, and love songs. Side 2 is all rockers. The band's swagger and bravado remains intact, but the album feels more earnest and open-hearted, like they’ve put down their guard to really let the listener in, its ravers feeling like shelter from the storm.
