Although this band currently does not exist, I have recently been attempting to give internet dwellers a proper
version of this album, as it was originally leaked to the internet in January of 2011 as like a crappy rip from a flash player
that didn't even have the final mixes, and then encoded again to make it sound even worse.
While this was happening, the band was already recording a new EP with their new singer. The band had had
some lineup switching and bought some new guitars and got right to work. But going back to the beginning...
The first "album" was an amalgam of demo recordings meant to be a side project; late night freak out sessions
recorded in various states of sobriety and experimental sleep deprivation. The "roughness" and goofiness (self referential
song titles that had nothing to do with the lyrics, random samples, etc.) gave the songs their charm.
But eventually it
became a full band, and then a full band that was working to get exposure and put out a record.
And then, as most bands do, it experienced its regular amount of inner turmoil that prevents the members from
doing anything productive or necessary to actually succeed at anything. Amidst the trauma though, new members, new songs,
and most importantly a new creative force entered the fray and then we were left with three recordings that sounded cohesive,
brutal, and great and ten other ones that were randomly produced, not mixed that well in the first place, and even a few songs
that were not created by the band but by only one member.
So now, I have decided to basically stop being lazy and get all of the songs sounding cohesive, brutal, and
great. I am not sure if anybody still cares at this point, but these songs do hold a special place in the hearts of the assholes
that came up with them.
