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 View Product Quick View Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention Live At BBC Rock And Pop | BRR | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th December 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention Live At BBC £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BRR SKU: BRR4000LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th December 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View La Sera Music For Listening To Music To Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Polyvinyl | 1LP Released 4th March 2016 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders La Sera Music For Listening To Music To £13.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Polyvinyl SKU: 0644110030610 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Coheed and Cambria The Afterman: Ascension Rock And Pop | V2/Cooperative | 1LP, Includes CD Released 8th October 2012 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Coheed and Cambria The Afterman: Ascension £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: V2/Cooperative SKU: VVR714847 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 8th October 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bob Dylan Planet Waves Rock And Pop | Columbia | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 5th April 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bob Dylan Planet Waves £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Columbia SKU: 19075907241 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View King Blues, The Long Live The Struggle Rock And Pop | Transmission | 1LP Released 2nd July 2012 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders King Blues, The Long Live The Struggle £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Transmission SKU: TRANSV002 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd July 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lilac Time, The Prussian Blue E.P.
