Venice Beach, California’s The Shrine have unveiled details about their upcoming Century Media Records debut, ‘Rare Breed’.

Oozing with old-school flair, punk aggression and unbridled rock‘n’roll fury; ‘Rare Breed’ has been set for North American release on January 15, 2016 (with extended content) and October 30, 2015 in Europe and UK. ‘Rare Breed’ was produced by Dave Jerden (the venerated knobsman behind such classics as Alice In Chains’ ‘Dirt’, Jane’s Addition’s ‘Nothing’s Shocking’, Social Distortion’s self-titled, The Offspring’s ‘Ixnay On The Hombre’ and Eno/Byrne’s ‘My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts’) and recorded through the very amp that Greg Ginn recorded Black Flag’s ‘Damaged’ on, ‘Rare Breed’ exists in a space that once was was bleeding with razor sharp lines separating punks, metal heads and hippies, where a violent clash in the parking lot of the Cuckoo’s nest was inevitable. Artwork by Kris Kirk, the artist behind The Shrine Wolf and both ‘Primitive Blast’ and ‘Bless Off’ covers!

Official release dates:
Europe – October 30th
North America – January 15th
