Squirtgun's Flav Giorgini / Mike Scott (UK) plan Split LP

Contributed by steadydietofpunkrock. Posted by aubin on Saturday, February 7, 2009 at 3:00 PM (EST)

A split acoustic album between Squirtgun's Flav Giorgini and Mike Scott, from English melodic hardcore band Phinius Gage, is being released in the US by new Californian label Drop Anchor! Entertainment (home to Chon Travis). Its mastered by Mass Giorgini.

The label explained:

American pop-punk legends Squirtgun and English melodic hardcore act Phinius Gage are two bands separated by style, a decade or so and several thousand miles, but Flav Giorgini and Mike Scott have come together to offer a split acoustic album despite all the odds. Meeting when they both played some shows in the UK with Kevin Seconds, they hit on the idea of a record together, which saw the light of day in Europe in January 2009.

You can find music from both on their respective MySpace pages: Flav Giorgini and Mike Scott.

scientistrock (February 7, 2009)

Someone just got final cut.

baldsteve (February 7, 2009)

Wish I could see this. Better than the last one? I looooved the last one.

MilesQToast (February 7, 2009)

what song was the last one of?

baldsteve (February 7, 2009)

Fuck this, I'm out... I think

PtvnSux94 (February 7, 2009)

It was I loved that video it was fucking hilarious. This one is really funny too, I haven't decide which is better yet, but if I was you I would be very excited to see it.

baldsteve (February 7, 2009)

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing it. Gotta wait til I get home.

MilesQToast (February 7, 2009)

after you spend the weekend with abraham lincoln

baldsteve (February 7, 2009)

He's dead silly.

MilesQToast (February 7, 2009)

oh I know. Sicko.

baldsteve (February 7, 2009)

Sicko was another perfect pop-punk band.

MilesQToast (February 7, 2009)

thanks to wikipedias alphabetical list of pop punk bands I finally came up with my answer. TEH LEFTOFERS! that's almost langoliers. I know mattramone will be relieved.

TommyPickles (February 7, 2009)

Pure Genius

WilliamZabka (February 7, 2009)

American pop-punk legends? that's a bit over the top, dont' ya think?

deadXlast (February 7, 2009)

I don't really think so. Look at who else we call legends. Screeching Weasel? Green Day? Squirtgun was as good as any of them.

PtvnSux94 (February 7, 2009)

I don't like Green Day.

deadXlast (February 7, 2009)

Not a big fan myself. I was just talking about bands who generally get labeled "legendary pop punk".

PtvnSux94 (February 7, 2009)

I was not claiming that you like them, I understood what you were saying, I was just stating a fact about myself. I also do not like to eat fish.

Dudley_Shale (February 7, 2009)

MTX. The Descendents,,,

WilliamZabka (February 7, 2009)

I agree with them being as good... but Green Day and Screeching Weasel are certainly legendary... Squirtgun was just "nice"

baldsteve (February 7, 2009)

Squirtgun and one great ep, a good lp and some decent follow up material.

Catalog to catalog, I don't think they come close to comparing to Screeching Weasel or Green Day

baldsteve (February 7, 2009)

HAD one great ep...

Damn it

Dudley_Shale (February 7, 2009)

MTX for the win.

baldsteve (February 7, 2009)

Love the MTX. However, I prefer older to newer.

I loved Jon Von era MTX

deadXlast (February 7, 2009)

Okay, so you've all reminded me that there are several bands worthy of the title "Legendary". Does that mean Squirtgun doesn't deserve it though?

baldsteve (February 7, 2009)

I'm not knocking your tastes man, I just don't see them as Legendary.

Lots of great pop-punk bands, Scared of Chaka, Zoinks!, AfterSchool Special, Invalids... that I think had way better catalogs than Squirtgun.

deadXlast (February 7, 2009)

I know, I'm not overreacting or anything I'm just wondering what you all would perceive as legendary. Good choices though.

baldsteve (February 7, 2009)

Flawless catalog? I love everything the bands I mentioned put out.

Squirtgun was hit or miss. I wasn't all that pleased with all their stuff. Just personal opinion I guess.

deadXlast (February 7, 2009)

Two great bands, and the solo stuff is pretty dece too.

abracadaver (February 7, 2009)

Fucking Nothington need to get their asses to a studio and record a follow-up to "All In" already. They're about all I've been able to listen to the past few days.

TheSandwiches (February 7, 2009)

Agreed, fully and completely.

baldsteve (February 7, 2009)

I second what future me said.

14theroad (February 7, 2009)

There are other bands?

lintsay (February 7, 2009)

Yes.

mCLz (February 7, 2009)

1. awesome

2. anyone scene that gothscene.com ad on the side of the page hahaha

punk_sk (February 7, 2009)

2. the number one alternative community on the web

punk_sk (February 7, 2009)

what we do is secret fails as a good film

baldsteve (February 7, 2009)

That's sad.

How about they make an Off With Their Heads documentary that comes close to being a mix of Dead Alive/Spinal Tap?

deadXlast (February 7, 2009)

My band of the moment; Charles Bronsons. Fucking awesome.

MilesQToast (February 7, 2009)

baldsteve (February 7, 2009)

Sweet, you could do far worse.

Dudley_Shale (February 7, 2009)

Red wings are fucking destroying Edmenton.

PtvnSux94 (February 7, 2009)

I am very embarresed to be a Ranger fan right now.

scientistrock (February 7, 2009)

RANGERS SUCK!

Yeah, I said it. I'll say it again.

Blackjaw_x (February 7, 2009)

Phinius Gage is one of the few melodic hardcore bands that doesn't suck.

minimann (February 7, 2009)

well said. Shame they aren't around anymore. Having met Mike a couple of times he is a great fellow should go pretty far.

JoeyRitter (February 7, 2009)

That is the equivalent of calling Zebrahead legendary.

telepunk (February 7, 2009)

Anyone going to see the Riverdales in Chicago on April 18th??

I can't believe its not sold out yet!!
