New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Earshot Media) Hostage Calm have announced the release of "Tonight, They Won't Take Me Alive," a digital collection that charts a course through the band's storied career. Featuring various live and acoustic performances, the compilation also includes all of the group's non-album tracks and some highlights from each of their three critically acclaimed LPs and debut Demo 7". "Tonight, They Won't Take Me Alive," is more than an outline from a varied back-catalog, it's the manifestation of Hostage Calm's 6-year narrative of challenging the status quo at each junction they cross.
The band is offering the collection for 'Pay What You Want' download on their band camp page, with all proceeds are going towards helping to pay for their new tour van (https://hostagecalm.bandcamp.com/album/tonight-they-wont-take-me-alive).
"Whether this release serves as an introduction to the band or a chance to explore new and different material, we hope you enjoy listening to the music as much as we have enjoyed creating and living it." - Tom Chiari, guitar
