Black vinyl LP edition of Cope - Live At The Earl, the 2024 live release from Manchester Orchestra. Recorded in celebration of the album's 10th Anniversary, in front of a sweaty crowd of fanclub members in East Atlanta’s storied and scrappy, 300-capacity club, The Earl. As their heaviest album in both sound and subject matter, 2014’s COPE marked an unapologetic, unrelenting turn in the Atlanta band’s career. It was loud and fast, leading them to The Late Show with David Letterman and far beyond. With “massive choruses, heavy plowing and pleasing anguish” (Alternative Press), COPE showed “how you make a hard rock record powerful but tuneful” (Chicago Tribune) – the “music is confident” (Washington Post), but ultimately steeped in perseverance. As frontman Andy Hull says, it’s an album about “laughing our way through the fog and kicking all of the ass while doing it.”
