The one and only Cheap Trick have released their 21st studio album today. All Washed Up is available now digitally as well as on standard black vinyl and CD, via BMG. A collector’s edition Orange Marble vinyl variant limited to 1,000 units is available exclusively via the band's new D2C store. The band's Robin Zander, Rick Nielsen and Tom Petersson appeared on TalkShopLive last week to discuss the new album.
Produced by Cheap Trick with longtime associate Julian Raymond and mixed by 5x GRAMMY® Award-winner Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Dave Matthews Band), All Washed Up was recorded at various studios in Nashville and Los Angeles through 2024.
The album was heralded this summer by the anthemic first single, ‘Twelve Gates’, joined by an official animated lyric video streaming now on YouTube. The instantly infectious track was met by praise from such outlets as Ultimate Classic Rock, which hailed it as “a sweet slab of psychedelic guitars, sugary pop-rock hooks and lush, Beatlesque vocal harmonies.” American Songwriter agreed, writing, “The mid-tempo rock song features psychedelic and power-pop elements reminiscent of The Beatles, not surprising for a group that’s always been so heavily and unrepentantly influenced by the Fab Four.”
‘Twelve Gates’ was followed by the pulse-pounding second single, ‘The Riff That Won’t Quit’, which was also accompanied by an official music video.
