Grace, Laura Jane - Bought To Rot (2025 Repress)

This 14-song full length was originally released by Bloodshot Records in 2018 but, because it contains the potent “I Hate Chicago” diss track, it’s sacred writ that the album needs to be on a Windy City record label. So, basically, Red Scare drew the short straw and now it’s their cross to bear. Laura Jane Grace is best known for fronting indie-punk titans, Against Me! but, on “Bought To Rot”, her debut solo album, you will hear lullabies and angular rock with influences ranging from The Pixies to Crass. You’ll come to learn about how Laura hates tra‑c and emails, but if you really listen, you’ll hear an album full of love songs. And we hope you really listen and hear that too.
