Chad Price Peace Coalition
A Perfect Pearl
A Perfect Pearl is the debut album from Chad Price Peace Coalition, a full-band affair fronted by the legendary Chad
Price (ALL, Drag the River, A Vulture Wake). The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered at The Blasting Room in Fort
Collins, Colorado. In 1993, Chad Price stumbled into the ultimate rock and roll fantasy when his favorite band, Los
Angeles punk stalwarts ALL, tapped him as its third singer. Price contributed 90s heft to the rejuvenated band's
already-storied catalog and quickly ingratiated himself with their fiercely loyal fanbase and sharpened his songwriting
chops. As Price managed to keep up with ALL's breakneck schedule, he was beginning to open up new musical veins that
unmistakably skewed toward traditional folk and Americana with his band Drag the River through seven albums over 13
years. Ever the king of overlapping, cross-pollinating projects, Price countered Drag the River's guttered heartland
rock by continuing to push himself in two directions at once. His solo work plays like a bruised morning after a rowdy
Drag the River show, and his band A Vulture Wake is a truly unexpected detour into prog-metal. All those miles and
artistic transformations have now led to the welcome arrival of a new project - Chad Price Peace Coalition and the album
A Perfect Pearl. Price unpacks the group's origin story: "A year or so ago I did a show singing with an ALL cover band.
I really liked the guys and we bonded over our love of prog-rock. The idea of expanding the sound started influencing my
writing." Cory West (drums, lead guitar, and keys) and Anthony Medici (bass, lead guitar, and vocals) were the perfect
partners in fleshing out Chad's latest ten songs. While A Perfect Pearl certainly delivers Price's signature rough-hewn
vulnerability, the limber trio format kicks up some sublime musical moments that, yes, feel distinctly inspired by prog
giants like Jethro Tull and Yes. Chad Price Peace Coalition's A Perfect Pearl is a distinctly compelling listen, and
like the best rock albums, it provokes and ultimately rewards an attentive listener. A Perfect Pearl is being jointly
released by Double Helix Records and SofaBurn Records. A Perfect Pearl was proudly pressed by Citizen Vinyl in
Asheville, North Carolina, USA. The limited edition Clear Pink variant (167x available worldwide) is available in record
stores via Double Helix Records and is exclusively distributed by Cobraside Distribution.
