Post-punk/industrial band Savage Republic, who released their eighth album in 2022, Meteora (Mobilization Recordings/Gusstaff Records), are set to release a live album on Jan. 23. The new record is titled Live in Wroclaw January 7, 2023, recorded in Poland one year ago.
Ethan Port, both a band member and also owner of Mobilization Recordings, says:
With the Meteora LP, the band finally made an album I can listen to from beginning to end without picking up the needle, and that reflects on the cohesiveness and efficiency of this lineup. I hope this live recording has the same effect on listeners. Both ‘Meteora’ and this live album also showcase the stellar engineering and mixing by Kerry Dowling, who was able to capture the frenetic nature of this version of the band with an insider’s perspective. This longest lineup has played together for so long it’s a well-honed machine, and there’s a strong and deliberate vision, as well as a genuine and passionate personality, in the way we’ve organized, reworked, and performed the songs. I’m so proud to be part of this current lineup and to be part of this live document.
The record comes out on LP, cd, and a limited 8-inch lathe cut record with four extra tracks from the concert. Mobilization is also planning to release the full concert digitally.
