Revenge album features two brand new tracks

Reading the booklet article of the absolutely excellent reissue of One True Passion by Revenge, the band of Peter Hook from New Order, we learn that the first two tracks, Televive and The Wilding, are not only unreleased but are basically brand new as Peter Hook has rewritten them, rerecorded them with New Order's live guitarist Phil Cunningham and produced them with New Order's programmer Roger Lyons. So, more than a decade after their last release (the Gun World Porn EP, included in the reissue with unreleased and remixed tracks), we have two tracks not only from their past, but actually new and made last year. For more info and orders visit the page of the release at LTM.

New Revenge album out now!

LTM has just released the new album by Revenge, the band formed by New Order bassist Peter Hook and featuring future Monaco singer David Potts, and in my opinion the best side project of them all. It's a brand new edition of the 1990 album One True Passion, extended to a 2CD version featuring a load of unreleased tracks and the 1992 EP Gun World Porn.
