TITLE: 5 Years of Anxiety
LABEL: Cool Guy Records
CATALOG: #3
YEAR: 1997
GENRE: Punk / Pop Punk
PRESSING INFO: 660 pressed on root beer vinyl

I actually have been trying to update this more. For some reason blogger hasnt been working for me lately. So here is another long over due entry!

I bought this off ebay in a huge ass 7" pop punk lot (you have already seen some of what I bought). This is a pretty good mix of pop punk, and punk rock. I would say this is a rootbeer style color vinyl, but others have called it clear brown.

660 were pressed and the b-side labels were hand numbered. Mine is # 603/660. They released a few other things, and appeared on a ton of pop punk comps.

TRACK LISTING:
1. Two Wrongs
2. A Different Place
3. NCAF

V/A - Bakamono CD Sampler #1 CD

ARTIST: Various
TITLE: Bakamono CD Sampler #1
LABEL: Bakamono
CATALOG #:Baka-01
YEAR: 1998
GENRE: Pop Punk / Hardcore
PRESSING INFO: 1000 pressed

2 weeks without an update? Wow I'm getting slow! For those of you who are looking for the Green Day - Dookie demos, I have tried uploading them multiple times but it doesnt seem to work. If anybody wants them, send over your email and I will send you the ZIP file

I am a comp collector. I love punk comps. And this is one of the reasons why. I grabbed this off of ebay for I believe 49 cents plus $2 shipping. So it was pretty cheap. Bakamono is a music store / anime store in Denver, CO. They released this comp and pressed1000 copies. It was given away for free. And I had to pay for it.

Its a great mixture of pop punk, hardcore and some ska. So check it out!!

Uncle Al - Gangway Stupid CD

ARTIST: Uncle Al
TITLE: Gangway, Stupid
LABEL: Something Else Records
CATALOG: None
YEAR: 1999
GENRE: Punk Rock
PRESSING INFO: Probably 1000 or 2000 pressed

First off I'm bringing back the scans of the old flyers. I had a few people ask me if they could get some copies of certain ones, so I'll start posting a flyer every entry. The one above I dont know much about. I didnt go to the show, and I have no idea where I got it from. So any reviews would be nice!

I also got my old job back as an HVAC Mechanic. It might slow down here at the blog, to maybe 2 or 3 a week. Maybe not. Who knows. I am not going to retire this blog though! Please comment on my stuff so I dont feel like im doing this for nothing. Blah

I also got some new CD's in the mail from a messege board. Here is what I got

30 Amp Fuse - Wind-Up (really catchy power pop / pop punk)
Guff - The Guff Is A Disaster EP (think gainsville style pop punk)
The 4-Squares - save the clock tower (this isnt pop punk, but its some really good punk rock)
The Copyrights - Mutiny pop (awesome pop punk!)
The Fairlanes - Bite Your Tongue (another amazing pop punk CD)

OK now for Uncle Al. I bought this CD at megatronix in York PA a few years ago for 99 cents. Not really knowing what it is. It some pretty good newer style punk rock. Yet another release that I cannot find any information about!

TRACK LISTING:
1. In My Head
2. Ididyamom
3. Cubicle
4. Fists of Fury
5. Jump or Die
6. We Are
7. Suburban Hell
8. First to Third
9. History

The Beautys - Sweetheart! Sweetheart! 7"

ARTIST: The Beautys
TITLE: Sweetheart! Sweetheart!
LABEL: House O' Pain
CATALOG: HOP019
YEAR: 1997
GENRE: Pop punk / punk
PRESSING INFO: I only know of 1 pressing on black. If somebody has more info, please contact me.

A lot of my entries seem to come from City Lights Records out of State College PA. Well here is another one. At the time I remember hearing about this band being on Mutant Pop. So when I saw it for $2.99, I had to pick it up.

If you don't like female lead singers, you might want to pass on this. Personally I think some women are a lot better than the men singing. The beautys are a 3 piece band that have released a ton of splits and a few full lengths. This release has a great pop punk song (sweetheart sweetheart) and the other 3 are old school style pissed off punk. The last song being an instrumental. It seems pretty hard to find so download it and enjoy!

TRACK LISTING:
1. Sweetheart Sweetheart
2. Jocks On Junk
3. Black Coptors Over U.S.A.
4. Party Pants

PRESSING INFO:

Discount was a band that had a pretty big following on the underground punk scene from 1995 until 2000. They released a ton of 7", a few full lengths and they appeared on countless compilations. They also were on quite a few 7" splits as well. This will not be the only Discount release that is featured in this blog. I am a huge Discount fan and I have a lot of 7"'s and a few splits. Allison (the lead singer) went on to be in The Kills

I picked this album up at the champs punk rock flea market for $3. Which is super cheap. It is the second in the series of singles collections. The first one is still available. This release seems to be harder to find for some odd reason.

6		This Rooms Regular

Bladder Control - Electrocarnivorous 7" EP

ARTIST: Bladder Control
TITLE: Electrocarnivorous
LABEL: Beef Eater Records
CATALOG: 002
YEAR: ???
GENRE: industrial / electronic
PRESSING INFO: one pressing of 700. 500 were on black and 200 were on white vinyl. The 200 on white were hand numbered.

I am terrible at describing music. So I will just copy and paste what it says in the insert about this band. BUT FIRST I will give a little back story on how and why I acquired this release. On my yearly trip to philly for CZW's cage of death, I always stop by the philly record exchange. They always have a decent selection of super cheap punk 7". I grabbed this for 25 cents because it had a wrestling cover. And since I collect records with wrestling covers, it was right up my alley. If you didnt know, the wrestlers are Superstar Billy graham and Dusty Rhodes. And I happened to pick up the white vinyl version. Mine is hand numbered 41/200. I still cant find the black vinyl version.

OK here is what the sheet says " a one man electro-industrial horror show. This gruesome release features a fast driving cover version of Black Sabbath's "Warning" + 3 others. Add samples from "The Love Boat", public access TV & someones toilet+ drum machines, tape loops & creepy distorted vocals, and this one can't be missed"

I am not a fan of the music, but it's pretty rare plus it has a wrestling cover. Download it and yell at me if you'd like.

TRACK LISTING:
1. Exciting / S.O.V.
2. Warning
3. De De De

Emergency! Action Boys - S/T 7"

ARTIST: Emergency! Action Boys
TITLE: Emergency! Action Boys
LABEL: Dead Tank Records
CATALOG #: 016
YEAR:
GENRE: Indie / Emo
PRESSING INFO: I think 1 pressing on clear vinyl

I'm late again. At least this time I have a legitimate excuse! Here is yet another release that was included back a few years ago when I would buy huge 7" lots off of eBay for my distro. I included scans of everything that was included in the release. I also did a search for these guys and came up with basically nothing. If you like braid, and grade and stuff of that nature. You will probably enjoy this!
