Heated Rivalry soundtrack release party hits Alabama: How to celebrate in Opelika + Birmingham

Opelika and Birmingham are coming to the cottage.

Heated Rivalry fans have a major reason to head over their local indie record stores in July. 10,000 Hz Records in Opelika and Birmingham’s Seasick Records are hosting exclusive release day listening parties for the original soundtrack for the LGBTQ+ hockey romance show that took the world by storm.

10,000 Hz and Seasick are the only two indie record stores in the entire state of Alabama chosen to participate in this event. The weekend-long international celebration runs from July 10-12 across select stores in the United States and Canada, but Alabama’s hockey romance fans get to join in on the fun on the very first day.
