Oct. 22, 2020, LOS ANGELES – Dale Crover, named one of the greatest drummers of all time by Rolling Stone and dubbed the “Thunder King” by Modern Drummer, returns with his sophomore solo album, Rat-A-Tat-Tat! on Jan. 15 via Joyful Noise Recordings. Along with news of the 12-song album’s forthcoming release, Dale and Joyful Noise are giving fans an early listen, releasing the single “Tougher” this morning (https://youtu.be/AhDyEa7VhNo) “Not only am I a drummer, I’m a professional ‘Geetar Wrastler’ as well, as you’ll hear in the opening of this song, ‘Tougher,’” explains Dale. “It’s co-written by myself and engineer/ musician Toshi Kasai, and features my bandmate from Altamont, Dan Southwick on bass. Lyrically it’s about someone trying to involve you in their drama, and how I’m not a fan of that. Enjoy!” RAT-A-TAT-TAT! is available for pre-order now (http://joyfulnoi.se/Rat-a- | ||
