Dance Hall Crashers have released "Don't Call", another long-lost recording from the sessions that produced their 1999 album "Purr". The song previews an expanded reissue of the record due out on November 6th.

"Don't Call" follows "Ambush" as the second preview from a batch of seven songs that have never been widely available. Four of them were tracked before the band went on hiatus and were then misplaced and forgotten, only turning up again this year. The remaining three had previously been issued only in Japan.

"Purr" originally arrived in 1999 through Fat Wreck Chords with production by NOFX frontman Fat Mike. The album held onto the group's ska-punk foundation while pushing their guitar work harder and sharpening the pop craft of their songwriting, making it a key entry in their catalog.

The expanded version will hit streaming platforms and will also be available on CD and double vinyl. Pre-orders and pre-saves are open now.
