Red Collar self-released their first full-length, Pilgrim in March 2009. Recorded and produced by Brian Paulson (Beck, Superchunk, Wilco, Archers of Loaf), the album seeks to capture the spirit and energy of the band s lauded live show while also bringing to the forefront the hooks and intricate songwriting that can sometimes be lost when surrounded by a hundred rowdy, shouting fans. The release is an exciting and much-anticipated milestone for the band but even more, the album provides the band with the opportunity to take their live show across the country.
