A Sonic Extension of the Heated Rivalry Phenomenon
The cultural impact of the Crave Original series Heated Rivalry continues to expand well beyond the screen. Following the show’s massive success on HBO Max, which propelled leads Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie to stardom, fans have been clamoring for a physical release of the series’ evocative, techno-inflected score. That demand is finally being met with the announcement of official vinyl and CD editions, set to arrive on July 10.
The soundtrack, composed by Canadian singer-songwriter and producer Peter Peter (Peter Jones), has become a central pillar of the show’s identity. Tracks like “Rivalry” have transcended the series itself, becoming viral staples on social media platforms, soundtracking everything from fan-made edits to pop culture tributes. This physical release offers a curated listening experience that captures the emotional intensity of the series.
Physical Formats and Collector Editions
The physical release is designed with the dedicated fan in mind, offering multiple configurations. The vinyl edition arrives in two distinct variants: the “Montreal v. Boston Edition” and the “Icy Inferno Edition.” The former features two discs pressed in the team colors of the show’s fictional hockey rivals—Montreal Metros blue and red, and Boston Raiders black and yellow. The “Icy Inferno” variant offers a sleek, transparent clear disc aesthetic, available exclusively through the Milan Records website and select Sony Music retailers.
Both vinyl versions are packed with collector-friendly inclusions, such as two exclusive Heated Rivalry trading cards, a poster, and comprehensive liner notes penned by show creator Jacob Tierney. The CD format similarly caters to collectors, featuring series imagery, a poster, and detailed credits and liner notes from Tierney.
