THE HELLACOPTERS, hot off celebrating their 30th anniversary and the huge success of their latest album, ‘Overdriver’—which hit No. 1 in Sweden in early 2025—are offering their dedicated fanbase a truly massive dose of nostalgia. They have announced ‘Cream Of The Crap! Collected Non-Album Works • Volume 3’, the newest and long-overdue entry in their iconic rarities collection, set for release on February 13th, 2026. This incredible set combines twenty-four rare and lesser-known tracks originally released between 1998 and 2005, material spanning a myriad of out-of-print EPs, singles, and compilation songs, most of which have never been released digitally. The collection features essential originals like “Disappointment Blues,” “Freeway To Hell,” and “Doggone Your Bad-Luck Soul,” alongside fantastic cover versions of songs by Motorhead, Alice Cooper, The Ramones, Wilson Pickett, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Meticulously compiled by Robert Eriksson and remastered for maximum audio fidelity by Magnus Lindberg, this more than seventy-five minutes long release presents a stunning collection of high-octane rock’n’roll across double vinyl, CD, and digital formats.
