An epic moment in our country’s history.
One year gone, and a lifetime of remembering. The Palace just isn’t the same.
An acoustic, modern-classic record from a road-dog band that strips bare the question: do we fight on or do we run. Answer: we fight!

The Palace was also Untide Records, once upon a time. We pressed our LPs at Rainbo. They were cool, all the folks at the plant. Gonna miss you forever. Thank you!

Live at the Hamburger Küchensessions.
The dramatic, distant work of Joy Division endures as one of rock and roll’s most challenging curiosities... Their beginnings aren’t particularly extraordinary, but the band’s furious evolution over the course of just three years is testament to a fearless imagination, purposeful single-mindedness and innovative spirit as potent as any in the history of popular music.
