Alcoa’s forthcoming EP Thank You will be out via Bridge9 on December 2, 2014 on 12” vinyl. Due to frontman Derek Archambault needing a hip replacement,after dealing with pain and immobility in his hip and left leg, all future touring plans for both Defeater and Alcoa will be on hold. A Pledgemusic campaign was put together by fans for help and managing a successful fundraising project, offering a number of rewards in return. This EP was one of the rewards, featuring various covers from within punk and hardcore.
Thank You EP track listing:
1. Shambles [originally by Make Do and Mend]
2. Young Kerouacs [originally by I Am the Avalanche]
3. Stations [originally by Blacklisted]
4. Who’s Gonna Carry You Home? [originally by Elder Brother]
5. I Don’t Mind [originally by Defeater]
Archambault is currently recovering from his recent surgery and is currently recording a new full-length album with Alcoa.
