Piebald- We Are The Only Friends We Have

Label: Iodine

Reissued 1/31/2025, Originally released 2002

Deluxe edition 2xLP includes 12 bonus tracks (b-sides, demos, covers, etc) in an expanded gatefold package. Now on vinyl for the first time in over 20 years, Piebald’s “We Are The Only Friends We Have” has earned its place as one of the most notable and iconic emo albums of the era. Completely remastered for vinyl by Jack Shirley (Joyce Manor, Quicksand). Completely reconstructed artwork created from negatives of the original photo shoot, and includes a retrospective essay written by the band. Originally produced by Paul Q. Kolderie (Radiohead, Pixies, Dinosaur Jr). If you were to look up the word "piebald" in the dictionary, you’d learn that it means “having irregular patches of two colors, typically black and white.” But if you were to ask any of their loyal fans, they’d probably refer to “Piebald” as one of their favorite bands of all time—a hard-to-describe, genre-less, energetic four-piece known for their raw, matter-of-fact lyrics, infectious hooks, fun live shows, and their penchant for doing everything on their own terms. And this year, Piebald turns 30!
