The Sellouts - Demo CDr

Back of the sleeve

Face of the CDr

First off I would like to say something about this blog and the lack of updates. I have A TON of vinyl records I want to upload. But my record player is busted right now. Thats the main reason for the lack of updates. So for the next couple of days, I will be posting CDs until I get the turntable fixed..

Anyways...No this is not a bootleg copy that I stole off of somebody. I saw this band a couple of years ago at the monroe township building in mechanicsburg. They were pretty good. And this is what they were selling. I think it was $1 or $2. I am not sure. I found their old site on the internet archive, but could not find much about this release or the band. If my mind serves me right, there was 4 people in this band.

I remember hearing that they were playing on the radio live I think in Wilkes Barre back around the time I saw them. If anybody has info on that show please contact me.

PRESSING INFO: UMMMM no idea! I do know that when I bought this, there was different colored sleeves to chose from. Since my favorite color is green, I bought this. This is an official release, and I have no idea how many where pressed.

TRACK LISTING: There was no track listing that came with this. There are 4 songs.

V/A - Rational Inquirer (Various labels)

V/A - Rational Inquirer CD

Here is yet another comp for the ole blog. I picked this up at Crumedgeon Records in NJ when I was there to see Lanemeyer and Jettison. I am always looking for comps so I can be introduced to bands I've never heard before. It was 99 cents and you really can't beat that for 37 bands. There are 7 different labels who put this out. The best songs are from digger, parasites, discount and gutfiddle. And all the stuff from Grand Theft Audio just blows. I'd skip tracks 26-31 but you may like them.

PRESSING INFO: Put out by doctor strange records, hopeless records, shredder, liquid meat, rhetoric records, grand theft audio, and stiff pole records. No idea what year or how many pressed.

TRACK LISTING: since its 37 tracks, just read the track listing above.

V/A - Punk Rock Strike CD (Springman Records 2003)

OK here is a comp I think most of you will enjoy. Mostly pop punk! The label was started by a guy when he was 16 out of his parents garage. The label started to gain a lot of popularity. And for some reason it seems to have died off. When a lot of labels stopped releasing pop punk, about after 2001 or 2002, this label kept doing it. Now a lot of the bands on the label arent very good. Bring back the pop punk! They fucked up the track listing and inserted a piece of paper with the correct track listing. And I don't feel like typing all of the tracks since its pretty easy to read them, but I will type to corrected tracks.

PRESSING INFO: This is still in print. And you can probably get it off of interpunk. Released in 2003 on Springman records. Probably A LOT pressed.

TRACK LISTING: (the corrected tracks)
18. Faded Glory - We Won't be Denied
19. 30 Day Warranty - Song For You
20. Mud - Fallen
21. Shinobu - Shoot the Sky Down
22. The Epoxies - Need More Time
23. Glenn's Army - Fun to be Right

Heidnik - 3 Song Sampler CD (Too Damn Hype Records 2003)

Heidnik - 3 Song Sampler (Too Damn Hype Records 2003)

I saw this band at the sorely missed Why're in New Cumberland PA. It was a metal show and this band was the only good band on the show. I think I paid something around $2 or $3 for this. It only has 3 songs, but there is no shortage on blast beats and brutal metal. I did a front flip and landed on my back during their set. Which I used to do that all the time. I felt it in the morning.

PRESSING INFO: This was released on Too Damn Hype Records in 2003. They made a bunch of shows. And I think for mailorder. But as far as how many, Im guessing about 100-200.

TRACKING LISTING:
1. Seven Dead and I Laughed
2. To Whom it may concern
3. Paper Doll Shape.

Tubetop - Three Minute Hercules CD (Laundry Room Records 1997)

TubeTop - Three Minute Hercules (Laundry Room Records 1997)

Here is another album that does not really fit into the stuff I usually listen to. But this is addicting. Its pop rock but not the mainstream type. Its catchy, and its fun! I would describe it as 60's rock with 90's pop. Very good. The song Erika Smiles is probably the best song on here. Great for rainy nights on the highway...

PRESSING INFO: Released in 1997 on CD on Laundry Room Records. Catalog number is LRR 9606. I am sure there are other releases on this label, but I can't seem to find them. Of course, they might suck. Who knows. Probably about 1000 to 3000 or so pressed. Maybe more.

TRACK LISTING:
1. Full Bloom
2. Erika Smiles
3. Passes for Love
4. MIA
5. Bleeder
6. What You see
7. With You
8. If I Were You
9. Once Upona China
10. Oceans Cracked
11. The Weight of the World
12. The Rules

Red Rover - Singles EP CD (2003)

Red Rover - Singles EP CD (2003)

Straight out of the New Jersey pop punk scene. Although they arrived after the explosion of pop punk in NJ, they still remained a staple. This isnt the type of super fast sloppy pop punk we all know from NJ, but a type of emo, pop punk mix that is really good. I saw them way back when at the Monroe Township building in mechanicsburg. I believe it was 2003. They were super nice guys and I ended up buying this and a yellow T-shirt.

PRESSING INFO: There are 4 songs on this EP. Each song was released as a single as well. So if you wanna be technical, there are 5 parts to this EP. Released in 2003 by themselves of course. I think around only 400 were pressed. I do know "Breathe" was released on a comp called "last nights great escape".

TRACK LISTING:
1. Myth Rock
2. Scream Machine
3. J-Vix Mega Mix
4. Breathe
