DWARVES: The Dwarves Are Born Again Vinyl LP

The Dwarves' 25th anniversary record -- and one of the best things they've ever done.

The Dwarves Are Born Again (2010) is Blag Dahlia and HeWhoCannotBeNamed pulling together a dozen-plus past and present members to make the kind of record that justified a career's worth of chaos. Where the preceding Dwarves Must Die went wide with celebrity guests, this one went deep -- Salt Peter, Vadge Moore, and most of the extended family returned, plus Josh Freese, Dexter Holland, and Spike Slawson rounding out the cast. Twenty-one tracks of hardcore, pop-punk, garage, and electro-punk, no filler. Happy Birthday Suicide, Fake ID, We Only Came To Get High, 15 Minutes -- they landed as proper songs, not stunts. Widely regarded as the best Dwarves album in years; some fans argue it's their best period.
