\"\"<\/a>\u201cI tell people we haven\u2019t progressed, it\u2019s like I like what we were doing early on, we\u2019re not trying to go out of our way\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

From Release: Founded in 1974, Cheap Trick are an indisputable American institution, beloved around the globe for their instantly identifiable, hugely influential, brand of pop rock ‘n’ roll. The band – Robin Zander (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick Nielsen (lead guitar), Tom Petersson (bass guitar) – are true pioneers with an unparalleled streak of certifiably classic tunes, from “He’s A Whore,” “California Man” and “Dream Police” to “Surrender,”\u00a0 “I Want You To Want Me,” and the worldwide #1 hit single, “The Flame.” 2016 saw Cheap Trick inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a long overdue acknowledgement of a nearly five decade career that has earned them more than 40 international gold and platinum certifications, myriad awards and industry honours, featured appearances on over 20 movie soundtracks, and total record sales well in excess of 20 million.<\/p>\n

In Another World \u2013 which marks Cheap Trick’s first new LP since 2017’s double-header of We’re All Right! and Christmas Christmas, further showcases Cheap Trick at their most eclectic, touching on a myriad of distinct sounds and song approaches, from the swampy Chicago blues number, “Final Days” (featuring fiery harmonica from GRAMMY\u00ae Award-nominated singer and Wet Willie frontman Jimmy Hall) to a timely rendition of John Lennon’s still-relevant “Gimme Some Truth,” originally released for Record Store Day Black Friday 2019 and featuring the instantly recognisable guitar sound of erstwhile Sex Pistol Steve Jones. As irresistible and immediate as anything in their already awesome catalog, In Another World is Cheap Trick at their irrepressible best, infinitely entertaining and utterly unstoppable.<\/p>\n

Cheap Trick release their new album \u2018In Another World\u2019 today, and recently we had the chance to chat and have a laugh with the legendary Rick Nielsen from the band to tell us all about the album, their upcoming shows in Australia, collecting guitars, 2020, license plates, and more…<\/p>\n
