The release of Bang Zoom Crazy… Hello follows the recent announcement of the band’s forthcoming induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. The long-awaited news celebrates the pioneering sound that has lead to sales in excess of 20 MILLION and more than 40 international gold and platinum certifications for their multi-award winning back catalogue. Cheap Trick have also been featured on more the 20 major feature film soundtracks.
Now into their fourth decade, Bang Zoom Crazy… Hello marks the band’s 17th studio album. Produced by GRAMMY award-winning producer Julian Raymond, the album is the first to be released through Big Machine Records.
