Download the Dirtnap 2009 Sampler!

	NEW!	AUTISTIC YOUTH "Idle Minds" from Dirtnap BUY LP • $9.25 Long awaited 2nd album from hardworking PDX youngsters, following up their classic "Landmine Beach" LP, as well as singles on Black Water, Rock Bottom, Taken By Surprise, and more. Driving, melodic punk/hardcore (but NOT "melodic hardcore" if ya get the distinction) with dark, swirling undercurrents. Catcy but not at all vapid. Sounding like a cross between Portland, Southern California, and Copenhagen, you could compare this to bands like Observers/Red Dons, No Hope For The Kids, Articles Of Faith, Reagan Youth, The Wipers, Adolecscents, etc etc. We've wanted to do something with these guys forever, and while the recording process took longer than normal, but we think it was well worth the wait. Co-release with Dirtnap/Black Water in the US and Taken By Surprise/Sabotage in Europe.
	NEW!	ESTRANGED "The Subliminal Man" from Dirtnap BUY LP • $9.00 BUY CD • $8.00 Dirtnap Records is proud to bring you the 2nd album from Portland dark-punk kings! Past and present members of Portland hardcore mainstays such as Remains Of The Day, Hellshock, Warcry, Lebenden Toten, etc pull a 180 and dish out ten tracks of icy, ominous postpunk. Since their last release, The Estranged have dialed back the explicit aggression of their early singles a bit, and dialed up the textured, atmospheric, layered sounds of prime 80s deathrock/postpunk. A little less US influence, a little more UK.........A little less Wipers, a little more Cure/Chameleons UK/Joy Division, etc. .......... The Subliminal Man was painstakingly, impeccably recorded at Type Foundry Studios in Portland and features 8 new ones, a re- recording of "Statue In A Room" (originally released as a split 7" with Autistic Youth) and a rather stunning cover of The Flys' 1978 classic "Love And A Molotov Cocktail". You need this. All LPs come with download coupon. "Think Bauhaus or Sisters Of Mercy, but by dyed-in-the-wool punks shorn of spookiness and frilly-edged shirts. Artful pretense is replaced by hard-edged instruments and scuffed boots." - Razorcake "Beautifully depressing songs that are probably at this minute mimicking the equally miserable Portland weather. Brilliant." - Maximum Rock N Roll
	NEW!	GOODNIGHT LOVING "Nothing Conquers Us" from Dirtnap BUY 7" • $3.50 Soulful, energetic alt country/garage/americana/whatever from hard-touring, crazy-prolific basement Milwaukee punk kids. Inventive songwriting with a depth and diversity of influence that belies these guys' relatively young ages. "2 new songs from one of our very favorite bands in the current American underground. Seriously, we listen to at least one (often more) of their 3 albums just about every day here at Dirtnap HQ." - Ken/Dirtnap
	NEW!	GOODNIGHT LOVING "The Goodnight Loving Supper Club" from Dirtnap BUY LP • $9.00 BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes GOODNIGHT LOVING have become a Milwaukee institution, but unlike "Laverne and Shirley" or Pabst Blue Ribbon, they're still here adding to their legend. The Goodnight Loving Supper Club is another milestone in that legend, expanding on their already classic sound of country-and folk-laced rock ‘n roll by forging head-long into psychedelia, surf, spaghetti western, and anything else exotic enough to send your neurons into an electrified dance of pop induced pleasure. With this their new album, GOODNIGHT LOVING follow in the footsteps of The Great American Rock & Roll Bands (ie. CCR, The Hawks, Crazy Horse, Big Star, The Replacements et al), reimagining the conventions of our native rock n' roll in a way that's both fresh and timeless. The Goodnight Loving Supper Club is the band’s first recording as a four piece, yet the sonic landscape they paint is more lush and nuanced than ever. Like all great bands around for more than an album or two, they're maturing and pioneering, effortlessly weaving in ideas from unlikely sources to color their songs in ways that seem strange at first, but then obvious upon reflection. This is immediately apparent from the moment the needle drops, moving brusquely between 60's British invasion- style psychedelia and twangy folk melancholy, to jangly barnstormers and songs of dark, bittersweet paranoia effortlessly and naturally. Along the album's path we are treated to brief forays into tragic 50's pop a la Del Shannon, Ennio Morricone on Mars instrumentals, nods to Roger Miller, and sugary, mind-warping harmonic nuggets. Dirtnap Records' 100th release, and we couldn't have asked for a better one!
	NEW!	MARKED MEN "Fix My Brain" from Dirtnap BUY LP • $8.50 BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes "Reissue of the 3rd Marked Men LP, which shows the band's pop sensibilities in full bloom. Not only are the Marked Men one of our very favorite bands of the 00's, but at this point we'd put 'em up there as one of Texas' great musical exports. Originally issued on Swami Records in 2006, this release put the Marked Men on many people's radar, and remains some folks' favorite to this day. Unfortunately, this thing has been unavailable for quite some time (especially the vinyl), so we thought we'de do you a favor and make this available once again. You can thank us later." - Ken/Dirtnap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GH7KEQQ0YY
	NEW!	MEAN JEANS "Are You Serious" from Dirtnap BUY LP • $8.50 BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes THE MEAN JEANS are the kids that live down the street that blare the Ramones and the Angry Samoans late at night while they are playing "Edward 40s Hands". They have 3 things in their refrigerator: ketchup, beer and slime. THE MEAN JEANS were born when, at the ripe ages of 23 and 24, Jeans Wilder (skins, vox and smokes) and Billy Jeans (vox, riffs and spliffs) started playing their parent's DC-area basements in the winter of 2006. They grew another member, Howie Doodat (AKA Jean Jeans on the bass guitar), after moving to Portland, OR a year later. The 13 garage pop tunes of Are You Serious harkens back to the Lookout! Records of the early ‘90s, when pop-punk meant snotty low-brow 3 chord goodness and not glossy soundtracks to mall strolls. Like any good Cretin’s soundtrack, the "songs about partying" vs. "songs about girls" ratio leans fully toward PBR fueled pogo punk. Pitchfork already said THE MEAN JEANS "comes over like the Ramones mixed with a pinch of Joan Jett’s classic "Bad Reputation" and makes you want to slam dance with its guitar riffs and rollicking drumbeats." Check out the Mean Jeans video on Spin.com!
	NEW!	MEAN JEANS / WHITE WIRES ""RU Mental" / "Please Write"" from Dirtnap BUY 7" • $3.75 Split from two of Dirtnap's up-est and coming-est, released to commemorate their joint European tour! The olde country will never be the same after these guys are done with 'em! Each band contributes one brand new, unreleased rave-up, sure to please even the pickiest connoisseur of 2010 party punk! This is one of two new Mean Jeans/White Wires splits released this month, the other being on P Trash and featuring the bands covering each other's songs. And we're not done squeezing new material out of either of these bands just yet! Look for White Wires' debut Dirtnap LP (2nd overall) in late October, and a new Mean Jeans album in 2011! Pressing of 1000, sure to go fast! All copies come with download code.
	NEW!	MIND SPIDERS "Mind Spiders" from Dirtnap BUY 7" • $3.50 DOWNLOAD from iTunes Solo pop explorations courtesy of Mark Ryan of The Marked Men! 4 tracks of intelligent, well crafted, home-recorded pop, with most of the instruments handled by Mark himself. (plus drums on 2 songs courtesy of Greg Rutherford (Bad Sports/High Tension Wires fame) All copies come with a download code!
	NEW!	NIGHT BIRDS "Night Birds" from Dirtnap/Grave Mistake BUY 7" • $3.50 Dirtnap is psyched to announce the release the 2nd 7" (following hot on the heels of their debut on Art Of The Underground) from New Jersey’s own Night Birds. Night Birds’ lineup will look familiar to fans of Dirtnap and awesome music in general, being composed of members of The Ergs, Psyched To Die, Hunchback, and many more. Musically, though, it’s probably not what you think, (it’s better) given the ex members list. Think speedy, catchy stuff that blurs the lines of punk and very early So Cal hardcore, with lots of surf/spy guitar thrown on top! Adolescents meets Dead Kennedys? 5 songs that go by quick, including what I think is the first instrumental on a Dirtnap release, although at this point it’s starting to get real hard to keep track of that shit. At the band’s request, there is no color vinyl on this release, but the first 500 will come in stamped sleeves. All copies come with sticker and download coupon.
	NEW!	POTENTIAL JOHNS, THE "The Potential Johns" from Dirtnap BUY 7" • $3.50 DOWNLOAD from iTunes Solo pop explorations courtesy of Jeff Burke of The Marked Men! 2 tracks of lo fi pop genius, recorded on the eve of Jeff's moving to Japan. While retaining the catchiness and energy of past efforts, the songwriting here takes a turn for the reflective and bittersweet, and the tempos are slowed down a bit from the break-neck pace of your typical Marked Men song. Still rocks like crazy, though. All copies come with a download code!
	NEW!	YOUNG GOVERNOR "Cindy's Gonna Save Me" from Dirtnap BUY 7" • $3.50 Young Governor is Ben Cook from Fucked Up. And Marvelous Darlings. And Bitters, and probably a bunch more we can't think of at the moment. When he contacted Dirtnap about releasing one of the 10 million or so 7″s they got coming out in the 010, it seemed like a no-brainer. Cindy’s Gonna Save Me is a fractured lo-fi pop gem, with perhaps a bit more of a 60’s influence than some Young Guv material. B side is a UK pub style smash. One time only pressing of 1000, all copies come with download coupon.
		AIRFIX KITS "Playing Both Sides" from Dirtnap BUY 7" • $3.50 Tense, brittle, working class postpunk from San Francisco. Features 2/3rds ex-members of Giant Haystacks. We here at Dirtnap were fans of that band, but we think Airfix Kits are better, hookier, and more direct. The band has described their sound as "Gang Of Four getting rat-arsed on cider and covering the entire Strength Through Oi! comp". That sounds good, let's roll with it.
		BEAT BEAT BEAT "Living in the Future" from Dirtnap BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes 77 punk hooks with the energy and forward drive of early hardcore, complete with attention-to-detail power-pop-esque songwriting skills. Saints meet Adolescents? Heartbreakers meets early Briefs? Recorded in Atlanta with Dave Carbona, Living In The Future unleashes 12 sleazy, swaggering punk/pop (NOT pop punk!) onto the undeserving masses.
		BLACK SUNDAY "Tronic Blanc" from Dirtnap BUY LP • $8.50 BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes Alicja from Lost Sounds, Mouserocket, River City Tanlines, Fitts, Clears, Nervous Patterns, etc in her first post-Lost Sounds release! Black Sunday melds the paranoid, futuristic keyboard buzz of Lost Sounds with the haunting pop sensibilities of Mouserocket. Intense art-rock workouts meet sprawling, lush soundscapes. Agressive noise rock side-by-side with undeniable pop hooks. Comparisons to other bands (even her other projects) are utterly useless, though. In the end, this sounds like no-one but Alicja.
		BORIS THE SPRINKLER / THE DEAD VAMPIRES from Dirtnap BUY 7" • $3.50
		BUSY SIGNALS "Busy Signals" from Dirtnap BUY LP • $8.50 BUY CD • $8.00 Touching on several overlooked styles that have only recently become appreciated, the Busy Signals are an unstoppable explosion of so many great nuances that it will literally make your head spin. With their instantly gratifying buzzing sound firmly rooted in original formula high-energy pop without a side of the feyness usually along for the ride, they have developed an incredible knack for weaving in bass lines and backup vocals that rekindle the magic created by first-wave Belgian punk bands right alongside the refreshing twists of primordial glam. This all comes together to concoct a blend of "real deal" punk so enthralling you'll be surprised at how bleak your outlook on life was before you were exposed to it, and you'll quickly realize how passable everything else seems to sound that came before it.
		CHARMING SNAKES "Ammunition" from Dirtnap BUY LP • $8.50 BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes Seattle post-punk w/ no funk, minus skinny ties plus a side of Fall/Sonic Youth. Band is still semi-active, members played in Band Of Horses, New Luck Toy, and more, and 2 are now in Coconut Coolouts.
		CINCH, THE "Shake If You Got It" from Dirtnap BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes
		COCONUT COOLOUTS "The Last Man You'll Ever See" from Dirtnap BUY 7" • $3.50 Spooky Halloween songs released (of course!) just in time for Thanksgiving. Or 11 months early for Halloween 2010, your choice. The Last Man You'll Ever See and Monsters Crash (The Regular People's Party) continue the tradition of killer singles from Seattle's (nay, America's!) premiere party-punk band, only with a macabre, bone-chilling twist. Abject terror never sounded so gosh darn catchy. Are you inhuman enough?
		CRIPPLES / NEW LUCK TOY from Dirtnap BUY 7" • $3.50
		CRIPPLES, THE "Culture" from Dirtnap BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes 2nd album of aggressive keyboard pop/noise from Seattle, members now in Coconut Coolouts, Le Shat Noir.

(the originals of both of which sell for big money on eBay) Die hard fans may recognize this as a home-made, self released CD-R the band has been selling at their shows the last year or so. We thought it was high time to give this a wider release, so here it is!
		EPOXIES "The Epoxies" from Dirtnap BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes

		ERGS "Upstairs/Downstairs" from Dirtnap BUY LP • $8.50 BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes Lots of bands dream of becoming a great punk band, a great pop band, or a great hardcore band. But the truly great bands, the ones that come along and alter the course of music, can never be pigeonholed into just one genre. You don't want to listen to the same type of music all the time, so why would a band wnt to drone through songs that all sound the same? The Ergs have the talent to play outside the lines. The New Jersey- based trio draws influences from the strongest sections of the SST catalog, pop punk in the vein of both Ramones and Descendents, country, and even jazz. When listening to The Ergs, prepare to have your definition of pop punk challenged. As a band, everything goes; As listeners, everyone wins.
		ESTRANGED "Sacred Decay" from Dirtnap/Green Noise 7" temporarily out of stock Ex- Remains Of The Day/Hellshock/Warcry/From Ashes Rise/etc, playing heavy ominous post punk ala Wipers/Mission Of Burma/Warsaw-era Joy Division!

Showcases the band's distinct style of omnimous, dark punk at their rawest and most urgent. Vinyl is a split release between Dirtnap and Black Water Records. CD is on Japan's legendary HG Fact Records. First 1000 LPs come in heavy "tip-on" style sleeves!

		GIRLS, THE "The Girls" from Dirtnap BUY LP • $8.50 BUY CD • $8.00 Dirtnap Records is proud to present the latest in a long line of classic Pacific Northwest 70's punk/power pop idols, THE GIRLS! This Seattle (all male, by the way) 5 piece combines elements of THE BRIEFS, THE CARS, T Rex, and the Stiv Bators solo records. Think geeky, twitchy, colorful punk/power pop/glam rock with a whole lot of their own unique personality stamped on to each and every song!

		HIGH TENSION WIRES "Midnight Cashier" from Dirtnap BUY LP • $8.50 BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes High Tension Wires is an all star Texas band featuring Mike Wiebe (Riverboat Gamblers), Mark Ryan (Marked Men), Chris Pulliam (The Reds), and Mike Throneberry (Marked Men, who on this album replaces Jeff Burke, also of the Marked Men) After numerous delays owing to the band members' busy schedules and Dirtnap's general incompetence, High Tension Wires finally release their long awaited follow up album. Midnight Cashier finds the band moving in a slightly darker, weirder, more diverse direction while keeping their tightly wound punchy 77 style punk intact. You're going to love this record, we swear.
		HIGH TENSION WIRES "Send a Message" from Dirtnap BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes
		HOLLOW POINTS "Annihilation" from Dirtnap BUY CDep • $4.75
		IMPULSE INTERNATIONAL, THE "Point of Action" from Dirtnap BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes "This is Adam from Dirt Bike Annie's current band. Heart- breakingly great garage pop with a timeless vibe. Perfect guitar power pop to die for, beyond infectious. Check it out if ya like the Beat, Shoes, Pointed Sticks, Exploding Hearts, etc. We got tapped to release this CD a mere 3 weeks before it needed to be out. Totally worth re-arranging our release schedule to accommodate this gem! We had also said we were done with CD-only releases, but this was worth making an exception for. Vinyl on Deranged!" --Ken / Dirtnap
		JEFFIE GENETIC AND HIS CLONES "Need a Wave" from Dirtnap BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes
		KENT 3 "Spells" from Dirtnap BUY LP • $8.50
		MARKED MEN "Ghosts" from Dirtnap LP temporarily out of stock BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes "Blurring the rawness and velocity of their self-titled debut with the slightly more developed songwriting "chops" of the last two, the Marked Men have truly delivered the best of both worlds. Since their debut album came out on Rip Off in 2002 (reissued in 2008 on Dirtnap!), the Marked Men have established themselves as one of the best, most distinctive, compelling, and instantly recognizable punk bands of the 2000's. They're also quickly becoming one of the more influential. Despite that, you can pop the needle on "Ghosts" for 5 seconds and instantly be left without a doubt as to whom you are listening. It ain't pop-punk. It ain't power-pop. It ain't KBD or '77 style punk. At this point, the Marked Men sound like absolutely no one but themselves. The bad news is that this will be their last album for a couple of years, as co-lead vocalist/guitarist/total musical genius Jeff Burke is currently living in Japan. The good news is that the band swears they are NOT broken up, just on extended hiatus. We couldn't possibly be more honored that the Marked Men saw fit to return to our humble label, and are looking forward to doing more stuff with them (and hopefully their new, as yet unformed bands) in the coming years!" - Ken / Dirtnap

		MEAN JEANS "License 2 Chill" from Dirtnap 7" temporarily out of stock We got a handful of this out-of-print 7" back in a return, get one while you still can! "Dirtnap debut from our favorite band in town! Really fucking catchy party-tastic low-brow garage pop from the gutters of Portland, OR. The missing link between The Spits/Angry Samoans on one side and Queers/Ramones on the other. 3 songs, with a full length in the works. We're really psyched about this band. Hop on the bandwagon now!" - Ken
		METROS "I Gotta Go" from Dirtnap BUY 7" • $3.50
		MIND CONTROLS "Mind Controls" from Dirtnap BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes Dirty 70's style punk from Mark Sultan and members of Demons Claws, Confusers, etc.
		MINDS, THE "Plastic Girls" from Dirtnap BUY CD • $8.00
		MODERN MACHINES "Take It, Somebody!" from Recess Records/Dirtnap BUY LP • $7.50 BUY CD • $8.00 Milwaukee, WI's Modern Machines return with their 4th CD (after a string of cassette-only releases), first for Dirtnap, and it's easily their best one yet! True pop smarts meets classsic upper midwestern punk inspiration filtered thru modern day basement punk sensibilities. Husker Du meets early Replacements meets early Lemonheads (remember when they were good?) meets Dillinger 4 meets The Figgs? While these comparisons remain fairly apt, Take It, Somebody sees the band incorporating older and more diverse influences into their distinctive songwritingstyle, including 60's garage rock, and even a little Americana-esque twang. Heartfelt, sincere, clever songwriting from one of the hardest working bands in punk rock, who, by the sound of things, are only beginning to hit their stride. Oh yeah, and it was recorded in a basement in Milwaukee for $200. What more could you possibly want?
		NICE BOYS "Very Mary/Wake Up Girl" from Dirtnap/Green Noise BUY 7" • $3.50 70s bubblegum/glam greatness from PDX band featuring ex Exploding Hearts/Riffs!
		PSYCHED TO DIE "Scatter Brained" from Dirtnap BUY 7" • $3.50 Four songs! A companion piece to the recently released Year One CD (they were supposed to be released at the same time, but, you know......)
		PSYCHED TO DIE "Year One" from Dirtnap BUY CD • $7.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes Psyched To Die practically qualify as a New Jersey punk all-star band, being composed of ex-members of The Ergs, For Science, Hunchback and a bunch more. Forget all that, though, this sounds nothing like any of those bands. (Mikey Erg is nothing if not versatile!) Starting off as a straightforward DC-meets early Touch And Go hardcore band with lyrics about as uplifting as the name would suggest, Psyched To Die's newer material slows it down just a bit and explores the area where punk and early hardcore intersect, kind of a cross between Dangerhouse and early Orange County hardcore. (if the song title "OCD Life" is not a Rikk Angew nod, it should be!) Happy-fun-time music this ain't. This is fast, dirty, bleak and negative, but still pretty darn catchy. This CD compiles the as-yet-unreleased Dirtnap 7" (patience!), the Sterile Walls 7" released on Grave Mistake/Firestarter, the 8 song demo (some of their best stuff in our humble opinion!) and may or may not include a hidden bonus track. You'll just have to buy it and find out! Download: "Conditioned to Fail" MP3

		RAYDIOS, THE "Now" from Dirtnap/Mangrove BUY LP • $9.00 BUY CD • $8.00 Our first release from a Japanese band, and we couldn't really ask for a better one than this. For those not in the know, the Raydios is Fink from the legendary Teengenerate and Firestarter's current band. This is their 2nd album, coming about 10 years (!) after their Demo LP on Screaming Apple. The CD version of Now was released by Japan's Mangrove Records last year (and is being distributed by Dirtnap in the USA), and is just now seeing the light of day on vinyl. It's been remastered for vinyl and re-mixed by Fink himself, and sounds GREAT. Musically this is no frills, crunchy, mid tempo rock n roll. Less trashy than Teengenerate, but not quite as "pop" as Firestarter, this is kinda a middle ground between the two. Total dream release for Dirtnap. Pinch us.
		RETURNABLES "The Returnables" from Dirtnap BUY CDep • $4.75 DOWNLOAD from iTunes Benefit CD, final recordings from insanely underrated Chicago guitar pop/punk band...

		RIVER CITY TANLINES "All 7 Inches Plus 2 More" from Dirtnap BUY CD • $8.00 DOWNLOAD from iTunes
		RIVER CITY TANLINES "I'm Your Negative" from Dirtnap LP temporarily out of stock DOWNLOAD from iTunes A dangerous romp of pool-hall jukebox metal that rivaled the Runaways straight out the gate with addictive hooks, spine- breaking basslines and brilliant songs that seemed to hit the mullet on the business end without a breather." - Brett Cross, Victim Of TIme Debut full length (following last year's awesome single comp LP/CD on Soul Is Cheap/Dirtnap) from Memphis, TN's River City Tanlines finds Alicja Trout ( Lost Sounds, Black Sunday, Mouserocket, Clears, Fitts, Contaminated Records/Mailorder etc etc etc) expanding her already extensive songwriting palate to include 80's HC, pure pop, hard rock, dirty garage rock, and much more, with hardly a keyboard (her signature in the Lost Sounds years) in sight. But the River City Tanlines isn't just Alicja Trout. It's guitar-bass-drums propelled forward by the most solid rock rhythm section of the south: John Bonds and Terrance Bishop, who have spun it with RL Burnside, T-Model Ford, Dale Hawkins, Fat Possum's Kenny Brown, Jack Oblivian's Tearjerkers, and Mr. Airplane Man's Margaret Garret.
		SELBY TIGERS ""Snoball" b/w "Tell it to the Judge"" from Dirtnap BUY 7" • $3.50 Got a couple of these back in a return; very few in stock!!
		SOMETHING FIERCE "There Are No Answers" from Dirtnap BUY LP • $8.50 DOWNLOAD from iTunes "This is a gem of a record from start to finish - an adrenaline rush of hooks, choruses, and some of the cleverest pop writing since those BUZZCOCKS fellas picked up their guitars." - Maximum Rock N Roll "There Are No Answers is the heart of my 2009 soundtrack." - Razorcake Young kids from Houston with a rock-solid work ethic who like to tour. This band fits in perfectly on Dirtnap: it's catchy, poppy punk that's not really pop-punk, and rocks a little too hard to fit in with the power-pop (have we mentioned that we're really sick of that term?) crowd. Unbelievably catchy, well written, well played (Steven “Babyface” Garcia can play the shit out of his guitar, and bassist Nikki Seven and drummer Andrew Keith are no slouches at their respective instruments, either) poppy punk with heart, brains, and hooks. Lots of hooks. After being blown away by a stellar performance at Portland’s Plan B club back in January, we quickly came to an agreement with these guys to do a new LP in early 2010. Upon reflection, though, we realized we just couldn’t wait that long to wrap our slimy tentacles around this young band, and have decided to rush re-release their recent, self-released CD on vinyl. If there’s a catchier band in the current American punk underground, they should send us their demo! LP includes a download code! For fans of Marked Men / Buzzcocks / The Briefs Clorox Girls / Pointed Sticks!
