Bleachers and Jason Isbell record a special split 7"; proceeds go to The Ally Coalition

Two of my favorite acts sing for a very worthy cause...

Bleachers has joined forces with Jason Isbell to release a special split 7" with all proceeds going to support The Ally Coalition. 

The organization, co-founded by Bleachers’ Jack Antonoff and his fashion designer sister Rachel, provides critical support for groups dedicated to bettering the lives of LGBTQ+ youth. It also raises awareness about inequalities facing the LGBTQ+ population.

This split 7", out now via RCA Records, features Bleachers covering Isbell’s track Dreamsicle and Isbell covering Bleachers’ 45. The special split 7" is available as a physical only product, limited to 1000 pieces, and can be purchased HERE. Teaser of each song available HERE.

Bleachers’ Jack Antonoff says: “jason isbell is the s***!”

Jason Isbell says: "Love this Bleachers song, I love what Jack did with Dreamsicle. This was a hell of a lot of fun!"

About Bleachers

Bleachers are set to release their 3rd album Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night due out July 30 via RCA Records. In late 2020 they offered up the first taste of new music to preview the album with the release of “Chinatown” ft. Bruce Springsteen and “45”. This music is the follow up to their critically acclaimed second album, Gone Now, which came out in 2017. The first single “Don’t Take The Money” hit #3 at Alternative Radio. Bleachers headlined a North American tour in support of the album, which included a number of major festival dates like Sasquatch Festival, Governors Ball, and Firefly Music Festival. Five-time Grammy® Award-winning singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Jack Antonoff, is the creative force behind Bleachers.
