Russian Girlfriends have teamed up with
Gunner Records for a special European re-release of their debut album,
All Around, on the 1st September. The album was self released in 2015 and later issued by
Orange Whip Records in the US. The record mixes the best elements of pop and rock ‘n’ roll with the ferocity and angst of hardcore and punk rock.
All Around draws on themes lifted from American history, Native American history, real life events, dreams, and relationships, all told with distinctly surreal and satirical undertones.
Russian Girlfriends strike a careful balance between raw youthful energy, infectious melodies, and thoughtful story-driven lyricism. You can pre-order
All Around via
Gunnar Records here

The band formed in 2014, comprised of Albuquerque local scene veterans and ex-members of Koffin Kats, Adam Hooks And His Hang-ups, and Glitter Dick. The original line up of Adam Hooks as lead vocalist, Ian Jarrell and Colin Dowell on guitar, and Jeremy Keith on bass, was completed when Sasha Horn, drummer for Heathen, Novembers Doom, and Forbidden, joined as the band’s drummer. The group is quickly winning fans near and far as they have embarked on five tours across the United States, sharing the stage with bands like Red City Radio, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Bomb Pops, and PEARS. The band will also be heading to the UK and EU this autumn on a DIY tour, with dates to be confirmed.
All Around will be available on vinyl, on limited edition red and clear variants, and on CD through Gunner Records
