Today, we are PSYCHED to debut the new split single by The Dwarves and the mysterious Ralph Champagne. It's fitting that these two songwriting virtuosos are teaming up for a split release. Blag of the Dwarves has mentored Ralph over the past few years and help Ralph release the most excellent Introducing Ralph Champagne album. And of course, the Dwarves just released the astoundignly great, sprawling masterpiece The Dwarves Concept Album. So, for the team-up, Dwarves release a single remix of their Fred Astaire meets Cheap Trick album opener "Feeling Great." Meanwhile, to contrast the uncharacteristic Dwarves positivity, Ralph turns in downcast "Wanna Die." It's a combo of two songwriting titans looking at both sides of the coin! The release is out via Rad Girlfriend records (run by Josh of Raging Nathans). You can pick up the split right here… along with a bunch of other rad Dwarves records, Raging Nathans records, Candy Now records, Tandoori Knights (Bloodshot Bill and king Khan) and more! Meanwhile, check out the new release below right now!… and also check out short interviews with Blag of Dwarves and Ralph Champagne himself!

<p>When horror nerds describe Jason Blum’s approach to the filmmakers he recruits for projects at Blumhouse, they’re likely to compare him to The Big Dawg, Roger Corman, in the way that he, similarly to the king of New World Pictures, has an eye for good talent that can deliver him a solid 90-minute release under-budget and on-time. To be fair, there’s plenty of support for that claim – the guy’s nurtured some fantastic filmmakers through their first projects (Damien Chazelle, Jordan […]</p>

Check out the song below.
