WE’RE ALL ALRIGHT! Out June 16th through
Big Machine Records
Cheap Trick have announced the release of their eagerly awaited new album WE’RE ALL ALRIGHT!, which will be released via Big Machine Records on Friday, June 16th.
To coincide with the announcement, Billboard yesterday premiered the brand-new single ‘Long Time Coming’ raving it’s, “a crunchy hard rocker driven by a Kinks-flavored riff, [and] is a bit of a one-song tribute to Cheap Trick’s influential forebears.”
WE’RE ALL ALRIGHT! – which follows last year’s acclaimed BANG ZOOM CRAZY…HELLO – is available for pre-order now via Cheap Trick’s PledgeMusic campaign. Exclusive bundles include vinyl, signed guitars, personalised video messages, memorabilia from the band and more.
Beginning Friday, May 5th, the album will be available for pre-order through all digital retailers and will be accompanied by two instant downloads: the electrifying first single, ‘Long Time Coming’ and album highlight ‘Lolita’. Additional tracks will be available in the weeks leading up to the album’s release. Explore Cheap Trick’s PledgeMusic campaign here: http://smarturl.it/CTPledge.

2016 saw Cheap Trick’s long awaited induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The induction honored both the band and the pioneering sound that has earned them total record sales well in excess of 20 million featured appearances and more than 40 international gold and platinum certifications.
Cheap Trick closed the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony with an show-stealing performance of ‘Surrender’, ‘Dream Police’, and ‘I Want You To Want Me’, prompting Rolling Stone to rave, “Their smoking three-song set (was) played to perfection, with Zander hitting all the notes he hit at Budokan back in 1978.” Members of the evening’s other top inductees – including longtime friend Steve Miller – then joined the band for a memorable all-star jam on Fats Domino’s ‘Ain’t That A Shame’ – a song famously featured on the immortal CHEAP TRICK AT BUDOKAN.
Cheap Trick are Robin Zander (vocals), Rick Nielsen (guitar), Tom Petersson (bass) and Daxx Nielsen (drums).
