The Draft - In A Million Pieces (Orange Splatter Vinyl) 2LP

The Draft - In A Million Pieces (Orange Splatter Vinyl) 2LP

Originally released in 2006, In A Million Pieces marked the debut of The Draft, a band formed by members of Hot Water Music following a pivotal lineup change. Rather than continue under the same name, the group chose a fresh start, resulting in a powerful and emotionally driven punk rock record that quickly gained a dedicated following.

Now, this deluxe reissue presents the album in its most complete form ever. Pressed across two LPs on limited orange splatter vinyl (only 205 copies), this edition gathers not only the original 12 album tracks but also a comprehensive collection of the band’s entire recorded output.

Included are six tracks from their rare 7" releases, two previously unreleased demo recordings and four songs captured during a UK radio session, available here for the first time. Every track has been remastered specifically for vinyl by producer Brian McTernan, ensuring a rich and dynamic listening experience.

Musically, The Draft deliver a heartfelt and energetic blend of melodic punk and post-hardcore. Their sound combines driving rhythms, emotionally charged vocals and powerful guitar work, bridging the gap between raw punk intensity and melodic sensibility.

The album’s legacy is further enhanced by its impressive pedigree. Early sessions featured legendary guitarist Brian Baker (Minor Threat, Bad Religion), while the final lineup included Todd Rockhill, bringing additional depth to the band’s sound. Following the album’s release, The Draft toured extensively with bands like The Gaslight Anthem and Samiam before eventually disbanding in 2008.

This deluxe edition goes beyond the music itself. It features completely redesigned packaging, detailed liner notes documenting the band’s history and a unique collector’s concept, different gatefold covers for European and US editions that together form a unified artwork.

For fans of melodic punk and hardcore, In A Million Pieces stands as a timeless release, now finally available in its definitive vinyl edition.
