Frank Turner’s old hardcore band Million Dead is getting back in the saddle for their first shows in 20 years, and what’s more hardcore than $30+ records?

You can get both records for prices in excess of $30 here. Also Xtra Mile Recordings has an exclusive blue variant of Harmony No Harmony that clears $40. Holy shmolies!
