Two Washington bands created a musical partnership through Suicide Squeeze Records. Chastity Belt from Walla While covered a song called Loaded Painted Red by the Seattle group 764-Hero. The original band decided to rerelease their 1998 track as part of the split release. Both versions appear together on the new record.
Julia Shapiro from Chastity Belt said she has admired 764-Hero for years. She called the original song one of her favorites but found it challenging to match the perfect sound. The band enjoyed reimagining the track and making their first recorded cover version. She wanted to honor the source material during the recording process.
John Atkins from 764-Hero praised the cover version after hearing it. He expressed his admiration for Chastity Belt as musicians and people. The rendition moved him deeply and made him feel lucky to connect with the other band. He plans to treasure this musical collaboration as a special keepsake.
Chastity Belt released their album Live Laugh Love during 2024. The record earned recognition as Album of the Week from music critics. Fans can listen to both the new cover and original version of Loaded Painted Red. The split release showcases two generations of Washington state indie rock talent.
