Rough Trade Records is thrilled to announce Tyler Ballgame’s stunning debut album For the First Time, Again, out January 30th, 2026. A bracing reminder of how great songs delivered by a gifted vocalist can move, captivate and inspire, it boasts 12 finely crafted tunes rooted in classic rock, indie and Americana. Ballgame’s infectious melodies draw the listener into a story, and his message of belief in one’s true self resonates deep and wide. The album’s lead single, the rhapsodic Lennon-meets-Orbison ‘I Believe In Love’ is out today with a video by Ballgame’s friends and roommates Joey Casale and Victoria Gagnaire Stein. Recorded live, the song is the first one that Ballgame wrote explicitly knowing there would be a record and that it would change his life. “I had met \[producer Jonathan\] Rado and he told me to write the biggest song in the world, so I sat down at my kitchen table for two days and put the puzzle of the composition together. It’s turned into an anthem about love of love and the fools it makes,” he explains. Presented by Communion One and Metropolis Music This is an 16+ event
