Bad Taste Records signs Quit Your Dayjob

Contributed by hars. Posted by adam on Monday, September 6, 2004 at 12:22 PM (EDT)

For the first time in three years Bad Taste Records signs a new Swedish band, Malmö-based Quit Your Dayjob. The band plays music "With a twangy guitar, a synthesizer way past its due date and snotty drums sounding like the B-52s on 45 rpm" and the label boasts they make "The Cramps sound like Devo in a wheelchair."

The label will release a self-titled MCD on October 25th that was previously released on I Made This. The band is also contributing a cover of "Broken Face" to the upcoming Pixies tribute on Düsseldorf Recordings.

eyeball_kid (September 6, 2004)

Like a 3 inch cd or a mini-album on a normal sized cd?

hars (September 6, 2004)

mini album on a normal sized cd. what do you call those in the us?

eyeball_kid (September 6, 2004)

I'm from the uk but I guess mini album. Sorry man i'm just being pedantic.

Someone (September 6, 2004)

a mini album on a regular sized cd? like an EP?

eyeball_kid (September 6, 2004)

Oh no, an ep is definitely shorter than a mini-album :)

Someone (September 6, 2004)

this is silly. so length-wise.. it goes: EP, MCD then Full Length? and i guess a cd single would be slotted in before EP?

hars (September 6, 2004)

haha, yeah, i guess that would be the order :)

eyeball_kid (September 6, 2004)

1-track promo cd single EP MCD Full Length Double concept album in gatefold sleeve

the technical scene lingo is CDM though, for CD-Mini. longer then an EP, shorter then an LP

Stop reading here if you want to keep your sanity or attention span.

fistchode (September 6, 2004)

I've never heard of an mcd either.. I usually just judge length as if the cd is a record.. so there's EP, 7 inch, LP and so forth.

Someone (September 7, 2004)

I have gotten this following impression. In Europe (Scandinavia anyway) we call it Maxi-CD and in USA they call it CDEP. Best Regards Rickard Gerthsson http://www.damnsundaydrivers.com

That's a mean band description, sounds worth checking out. I only just realised how awesome the early B-52s stuff is.

Someone (September 6, 2004)

I saw them at this free festival a few days ago and they were really good. theyve still got crazy energy

How do drums sound snotty?

Like bubbles popping?

Someone (September 6, 2004)

The drummer constantly blew his nose during the recording.

Someone (September 6, 2004)

I wonder why Düsseldorf Recordings is named after my hometown if it is located in Sweden. :/

gladimnotemo (September 6, 2004)

Is it the first time in 3 years the label has signed a band, or the first time in three years since they've signed a new Swedish band? Other than that, sounds interesting.

Someone (September 6, 2004)

they make "The Cramps sound like Devo in a wheelchair." HAHAHAA band description of the year.

Someone (September 6, 2004)

I've never liked bullshit hyperbole. -BSD
