Sludgeworth - Second Time Around (Vinyl LP) PRE-ORDER

Expected Release Date: 10-July-2026 - This Pre-order will be shipped on or just before this date. Release dates are subject to alteration.

Sludgeworth came from the Chicago underground scene of the 1980s that was de­ned by legendary names like Raygun, Albini, and Ministry. Genre lines were blurred and bands took more chances because there was nothing to lose. They released music with Lookout Records, but other projects surfaced and Sludgeworth went dormant for decades until calls for a reunion and Riot Fest came along. The band got their overdue day in the sun, but had so much fun with their victory lap that they decided to try something new: not break up! They would meet up frequently in a Chicago practice space for beers and laughs and ri‑s. "Second Time Around" is the result of that friendship and creative process, and it sounds like it could be from 1989 or 2029. Sludgeworth has already immortalized themselves as paragons of the Midwest underground, and this new 12-song LP is another chapter for the history books. They did go 30+ years between albums, and that's gotta be some kinda record, right?!
