Pirates Press announced collaborations with Kepi Ghoulie earlier, and now we hear the first new song and get a release date.

In addition to a reissue World Contact Day, by Groovie Ghoulies (1996), Kepi Ghoulie has a new collection of cover songs coming out titled Full Moon Fever.

Kepi share's "Happy When It Rains" now, originally by The Jesus And Mary Chain.

"We chose 'Happy When It Rains' and most of the songs on this record because they all meant something personal to us! We are all huge fans of the Jesus and Mary Chain and Darklands has gone on to be a top ten desert island disc for me! It was also the first CD I ever bought," Kepi explains in a press release sent by the label.

Kepi and Pirates Press promise additional reissues and new recordings to come.

Full Moon Forever track list:

1. Heroes (David Bowie)
2. The Perfect Girl (The Cure)
3. Happy When It Rains (The Jesus and Mary Chain)
4. Take Care Of Me (Iggy Pop)
5. Nature Boy (Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds)
6. Flowers In December (Mazzy Star)
7. Since You're Gone (The Cars)
8. Andy's Chest (Lou Reed)
9. Catch (The Cure)
10. Don't Worry Children (The Lords Of The New Church)
11. Cuts You Up (Peter Murphy)
12. Cosmic Dancer (T-Rex)

Ramones in Love
Pirates Press (2023)

The (rightful) knock on many of the “old punks gone solo” is that it’s a person with an acoustic guitar, playing stripped down punk that kind of all sounds the same by the time the record ends. Add the concept of this record, a Ramones covers album, and you likely already expect a lot of that “sameness factor.” Ramones in … Read more
