RT-Zed have announced that their live album "Crunch - Live At The Bullingdon Club" will be available to order from the 25th April. The album, a recording of their debut gig in Oxford from 2012, will be dispatched from the 11th of May and is priced at only £7.99 but will also be available at the Westworld Weekend on the 9th.
Demand will be high and this will be a limited edition release. The final copies of the "Return To Zero" album sold out instantly so where this album won't be as limited as that I would suggest getting your order in sooner rather than later!
