Kendra Sheetz We’re so stoked to be premiering the newest single from Chad Price Peace Coalition. The new track, “Rainbow,” will be featured on the forthcoming album, A Perfect Pearl, which will be released via Double Helix Records and SofaBurn Records on May 30th.
An artist entering his staggering fourth decade writing and performing music that weaves in and out of seminal pop-punk, alt-country, metal, and a fascinating indie folk-prog hybrid, Chad Price has made the most of his time. In 1993, Chad Price stumbled into the ultimate rock and roll fantasy when his favorite band, Los Angeles punk stalwarts ALL, tapped him as its third singer.
As Price managed to keep up with ALL’s breakneck release and touring schedule, he was beginning to open up new musical veins that unmistakably skewed toward traditional folk and Americana. To help bring these new ideas to life, Price formed the Colorado-based Drag the River with fellow country-curious musicians Jon Snodgrass and Paul Rucker (Armchair Martian) and J.J. Nobody (the Nobodys).
Ever the king of overlapping, cross-pollinating projects, Price countered Drag the River’s guttered heartland rock by continuing to push himself in two directions at once. He released his first solo album in 2009 which eventually led him to this new project, Chad Price Peace Coalition.
Price unpacks the group’s origin story:
“A year or so ago I did a show singing with an ALL cover band. I really liked the guys and we bonded over our love of prog-rock. The idea of expanding the sound started influencing my writing.”
