Despite the two decades since their last recording, The Connells never quit performing, and Mike Connell never stopped writing songs. Now in 2021, returns with its latest LP Steadman’s Wake, featuring eight new songs and 3 re-recorded versions of previously-released demos which originally appeared on 2001’s Old-School Dropouts EP. Steadman’s Wake is also the first Connells album to feature two newest members, guitarist Mike Ayers and drummer Rob Ladd (who have been in the lineup since 2002 and 2012, respectively), and the band’s first record with Mike Connell taking a more prominent role as vocalist. Dating back to benefit shows they played in 1990 for Harvey Gant when he was running against controversial Republican U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, The Connells have been no strangers to political activism over the years. Steadman’s Wake’s title track takes a definitive stance in reference to war, the opioid crisis, the white-supremacist rioting that roiled Charlottesville, VA in 2017 and again at the US Capital at the start of 2021. “We’ve had some oblique socio-political bits here and there over the years,” says Mike Connell. “But never as direct as this. It seems like it’s time. It’s scary, where we still stand in this country with issues of race. Of the 11 songs on the record, the clear consensus within the band was that “Steadman’s Wake” best reflected the band’s take on the temper of the times and best represented the ‘spirit’ of the record.” The Steadman’s Wake recording sessions took place at Durham’s Overdub Lane and Fidelitorium Recordings, the Kernersville, N.C., studio run by North Carolina Music Hall of Famer Mitch Easter (R.E.M., Game Theory, Let’s Active). John Plymale (Meat Puppets, Superchunk,Squirrel Nut Zippers) produced Steadman’s Wake with cameo guest Robert Sledge (Ben Folds Five, Surrender Human). Steadman’s Wake was originally set for release in 2020 but was held up due to the pandemic, a hard delay for a band that had waited so long for this followup. “It feels a little more grown-up than we’ve done in the past – more upbeat and not quite as cynical. Every record we’ve ever made, we’ve thought it was the last one. Maybe this really will be it,” says MacMillan, “Then again, as long as we’re still playing, chances are that Mike will still be writing songs. We’ll see.” Artist Connells, The Genre Rock And Pop Label Virgin Records Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Really Great Fading In (Hardy) Steadman's Wake Rusted Fields Song For Duncan Gladiator Heart Burial Art Universal Glue Stars Hello Walter Helium Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Connells, The and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Connells, The Ring Rock And Pop | Craft Recordings | 1LP Released 11th August 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Connells, The Ring £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Craft Recordings SKU: 7241977 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Gov't Mule The Deep End Volume 2 Blues | Music On Vinyl | 2LP Released 9th January 2024 £40.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Gov't Mule The Deep End Volume 2 £40.00 Genre: Blues Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: nn278731 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 9th January 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Walking Papers WP2 Rock And Pop | Loud & Proud | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 16th February 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Walking Papers WP2 £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Loud & Proud SKU: 0850888007277 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 16th February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cheatahs Mythologies Rock And Pop | Wichita | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th October 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cheatahs Mythologies £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Wichita SKU: WEBB440LP Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th October 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Varsity Parallel Person Rock And Pop | Babe City Records | 1LP Released 25th May 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Varsity Parallel Person £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Babe City Records SKU: LPBCDC030 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers Greatest Hits Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 7th March 2017 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers Greatest Hits £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 4771426 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 7th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Noah And The Whale Heart Of Nowhere Rock And Pop | Proper | 180g, 1LP Released 30th September 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Noah And The Whale Heart Of Nowhere £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Proper SKU: UMCLP013 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 30th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Frightened Rabbit Pedestrian Verse Folk | Atlantic | 1LP Released 22nd April 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frightened Rabbit Pedestrian Verse £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Atlantic SKU: 0190296350542 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lights PEP Rock And Pop | Fueled By Ramen / Parlophone | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th August 2022 £33.00 Select options Lights PEP £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fueled By Ramen / Parlophone Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th August 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View NOW That’s What I Call Music!
