Red Riders: On Cassette?

Hey world, if you pre-order a copy of Red Riders' new album 'Drown In Colour' (out July 10), you'll not only get it signed by the band, but you'll also get a super sweet limited edition Red Riders cassette. Yes, we did say cassette. This wondrous object contains demo versions of some songs on Drown In Colour as well as three previously unreleased songs. You'll also get a code that will enable you to download MP3s of the songs… just in case you weren't alive when cassette players ruled the earth. Here's what it looks like: 

To hear what it sounds like, er, head here to pre-order + wait a couple o weeks. Why cassette, you may ask. Well, when Al hands us demos, he often does so on cassette. The version of 'The Beginning Of The End Of The Night' you'll hear is actually him playing + singing into a dictaphone at home. Truly. Hope you likey + order quick because there are only a small number of tapes available and when they're gone, they're gone, gone, gone...
