‘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.

With a physical release date of April 18th, 2025 – a full one and a half months before the album’s digital release, ‘A Perfect Pearl’ is being jointly released by Double Helix Records and SofaBurn Records.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The real charm of custom vinyl records is that every record might be somewhat unique in its appearance. This means that the vinyl record you receive likely won't look exactly like the one pictured here, but that also means that no one else in the world will own a vinyl record exactly like yours. So, this vinyl record is a piece of art in more ways than one. We hope you enjoy it! Also, if you are pre-ordering this record, please know that the vinyl record you receive won't look exactly like the one pictured here, but it will be either a close approximation – or something even more magical!
