Although both Chad Price and Jon Snodgrass have been keeping really busy with solo projects, that doesn’t mean that Drag the River isn’t also keeping busy. With new releases and tours right around the corner, Drag the River are busier than ever.

DRAG THE RIVER “Primer” Collection CD
For starters, the Drag the River collection album, “Primer” is in production and today, we will be posting pre-orders. “Primer” makes for the perfect Drag the River mixtape and for those who are not familiar with the band, this is the perfect introduction. You will be able to purchase the CD individually or as part of a deluxe set that will include a Shot Glass, a Hoodie, and Drag the River gloves (yes, gloves). With winter coming on, this will be just what you need as the weather gets colder. Only 100 Deluxe Sets will be sold, there will also be opportunities to purchase more than 1 copy of “Primer” at a reduced price so that you can give copies of “Primer” to your friends for Christmas. The pre-order will be posted today at 2pm MST.

DRAG THE RIVER / CHRIS WOLLARD AND THE SHIP THIEVES split 7″ on Hometown Caravan
Drag the River are touring Europe in December with No Idea recording artist, Chris Wollard and the Ship Thieves. It was suggested that Drag and Chris also do a split 7″ in support of the tour. The 7″ will be released by Hometown Caravan and will be out in early December. Your friends at Suburban Home will have 200 copies for sale and will announce pre-orders sometime in late November. The 7″ features 4 songs (1 original by each artist and Drag covers a Chris song and Chris covers a Drag song. The 7″ is amazing. You can listen to one of Drag the River’s songs on their Myspace page.  You can listen to one of  the Ship Thieves songs on their Myspace page.

Jon, Chad, and Drag the River will be doing number of dates on this year’s Revival Tour through Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida.

There are already plans for new releases and tours in 2010, but we will keep you posted as details surface. I’m really glad to see Drag the River keeping busy.
