Paper + Plastick signs Cheap Girls

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by ben on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 at 9:00 PM (EST)

Paper + Plastick have announced the signing of Lansing, Michigan's Cheap Girls. The label describes the band as being Influenced by

The Lemonheads, Superchunk, The Old 97's, Green Day, Superdrag and Samia, producing a sound filled with pounding drums, jangly guitars and super sweet vocal melodies that harkens back to a simpler time and place. We decided that Cheap Girls were too good to pass up and will be repressing the remastered version of their Find Me a Drink Home LP as well as releasing the band's newest album which is being recorded with Rick Johnson of Bomb the Music Industry and Mustard Plug.

The new album is expected to see the light of day sometime around mid 2009.The band also plans on touring extensivley and will be hitting the east coast with Failures' Union and doing a string of dates in the UK with Chillerton. Or you can always check out their song "Stop Now" in the Paper + Plastick media player.

Thats not how you spell plastic. Crazy kids today with their rap music.

and every time they sign one i like, i die a little inside, knowing that since their album won't be available on CD, i'll have to illegally download it out of principle. shame really, cuz "find me a drink home" is a pretty cool album.

ChokingVictim (February 26, 2009)

yeah really. dude at least needs to release cd-rs with the vinyl.

this vinyl trend is really annoying. it's 2009, for fuck's sake.

matt_are_the_union (March 1, 2009)

i'm pretty sure all the vinyl have been coming with download codes or whatever? and i guess the newer ones have been coming with a pressed CD as well

Did they sign the band Cheap Girls or did they just sign a few cheap girls.

I don't know but I could sure use a cheap girl right about now.

Blackjaw_x (February 25, 2009)

I still think Forever And Counting, Finding The Rhythms and Never Ender > Fuel For The Hate Game. Do you care? Nah.

I love all four equally.

Killtaker (February 25, 2009)

caution is better than all of those but they never made a bad record

spoon_of_grimbo (February 26, 2009)

^THIS.

caution has been getting MAD LISTENAGE this week, can't get over what an amazing album it truly is.

Tom1022 (February 26, 2009)

my favorite as well.

andrewking (February 25, 2009)

The Flatliners and The Snips are supposedly dropping a split on P+P. Kinda stoked for that.

Blackjaw_x (February 25, 2009)

I think it's time for a new Flatliners full length, personally. I'd rather more music and less touring... from any band.

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

I saw them live, not very impressed. Also, before the show someone almost walked right into me outside of the venue, turned out to be thier bass player.

andrewking (February 25, 2009)

I've enjoyed them every time I've been able to catch them. Great swagger.

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

Maybe because it was because I am not really into ska or maybe because D4 was playing next, and I really wanted to see D4.

Blackjaw_x (February 25, 2009)

Their latest record wasn't ska, check it out. Kinda like Lawrence Arms and Hot Water Music and stuff.

Nameless (February 25, 2009)

Awesome. Good for them. I like Find Me a Drink Home a lot.

blanktapesemptybottles (February 25, 2009)

This label is blowing the fuck up.

ChokingVictim (February 25, 2009)

yeah it's becoming a favorite.

too bad vinnie doesn't press cd's and doesn't know anything about ripping files (or tagging them, for that matter)

blanktapesemptybottles (February 25, 2009)

yeah I heard he might for the new Spanish Gamble though

dX927 (February 26, 2009)

They already got half of their bands several dates on Warped too.

LookingForCorpses (February 26, 2009)

hardly blowing up. None of the bands are "big" by any stretch of the imagination.

thegimper (February 25, 2009)

But the real question is... When will a label that's run by a Ska band actually sign a Ska band?

4+ Replies

scrumples (February 25, 2009)

I think they're too smart to do that.

thegimper (February 25, 2009)

I dunno... they were responsible for the signing of The Hippos and The Impossibles at one time...

scrumples (February 25, 2009)

I'm talking about the fact that ska--as far as the Hippos/Impossibles variety goes, to make an example--has far outlived its relevancy.

thegimper (February 26, 2009)

'Dem be fightin' words where I come from boy.

dX927 (February 26, 2009)

Vinnie doesn't just listen to ska.

MeeSTa3k (February 26, 2009)

This year. That's all I know...

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

Did anyone else hear that some porn company offered that octuplet mom a deal to do movies. If she signs on to do a few, they will pay for health care for all her kids. Then a rival company offered her diapers for a year to not accept the offer.

Exactly, we'll give you shit, no show us your tits. Speaking of which, yesterday was Fat Tuesday.

punk_sk (February 25, 2009)

do you really want to see her tits? just think about how bad that milk stain will be.

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

I don't want to, but I bet their is some sick fuck out there who does. I was just saying that is the way of America.

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

"It's not about arousal, its about curiosity." Classic.

punk_sk (February 25, 2009)

perv

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

You are the perv, you posted it. I was just refrencing the line.

punk_sk (February 25, 2009)

your the perv because you made the reference to the song. you know what the song is about; i know what the song is about. all i did was post the link.

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

You are the perv because you found the video which means you must have been searching the web for dick on dick porn and came across this. I just reference the line because I found it funny. I am not gay.............................not that there is anything wrong with that.

punk_sk (February 25, 2009)

it's collegehumor.com i watch the videos because i find them funny. i would never look for dick on dick because i'm not that curious.

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

It's cool, I just did want to be the last one called perv.

punk_sk (February 25, 2009)

i imagine i've been called worse like a stoner. yeah i was leaving a dairy queen during lunch time back in high school. we got our food to go and i was called a stoner over that. it was months later the first time i smoked.

acris (February 25, 2009)

I would so fucking do it

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

You would fuck on camera for health insurance?

punk_sk (February 25, 2009)

no answer yet. maybe it was diapers she wants.

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

Maybe she is holding out for a better deal.

punk_sk (February 25, 2009)

diapers and health care

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

and a food item to be named later.

scientistrock (February 25, 2009)

I would fuck whatever you put in front of me, and let you record it however you want if you promised to eliminate health care costs for me. Yes.

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

I think it is different for guys.

scientistrock (February 25, 2009)

Probably, but also, health care is NOT CHEAP.

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

True, espically if you have 14 kids.

jacknife737 (February 25, 2009)

move north, and i'll gay marry you. Universal health care ftw.

acris (February 25, 2009)

most definitely.

jacknife737 (February 25, 2009)

"fucking" being the key word there.

punk_sk (February 25, 2009)

i'm a little surprised no one has offered camera services yet.

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

I thought that was to foward.

punk_sk (February 25, 2009)

not as forward as offering to be the other 'actor' unless it was a girl

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

True.

acris (February 26, 2009)

???

punk_sk (February 26, 2009)

i hold others to lower standards than myself.

acris (February 26, 2009)

no I don't get what you're saying

acris (February 26, 2009)

like camera services for the octopulet monster?

punk_sk (February 26, 2009)

no. for you.

acris (February 26, 2009)

lol :(

acris (February 26, 2009)

also, I'm 17 so that's called a crime

punk_sk (February 26, 2009)

for now

punk_sk (February 25, 2009)

i've never met a toilet i couldn't clog, given an appropriate amount of time

....and the appropiate food of course.

punk_sk (February 25, 2009)

wendy's has never disagreed with me like this before. i'm not crapping but i did have to take one.

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

I don't know if this is true by you, but doesn't seem that no matter hom much food you order from Wendy's they always cram it one bag.

punk_sk (February 25, 2009)

since i moved back to chicago 6 months ago i have only ate their thrice. i'd rather the bag be a little full then spreading everything out over multiple bags.

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

I am not complaing, I am just amazed by the physics. I think I went their with a few people once and we order about $20-$25 worth of food and they handed us one bag.

punk_sk (February 25, 2009)

not the shopping bag one?

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

no, regular old paper bag, with napkins and and straws.

SloaneDaley (February 25, 2009)

band rools!

PtvnSux94 (February 25, 2009)

I was listening to the new Fake Problems today and their is a line in the third song, where he says "Like an Annnimaaal" I could have sworn I was listening to Tom Gabel singing at that moment.

By the way, that album is awesome, Diamond Rings ftw.

Really? I grew up 45 min from Lansing and I've never heard of them. I guess I should check them out.

MattRamone (February 26, 2009)

They've got a free record on Quote Unquote that I think slays. It's gonna sound even better when you're sitting out on the fire escape once it gets warmer and you're playing hooky from work (or just got home).

Best band in Michigan hands down. Can't wait to hear the new re-mastered version of their album.

Wow, Michigan must really be suffering.

120dB (February 26, 2009)

Well, this is way better than Teenage Bottlerocket at Fat Wreck.
I'm happy for Cheap Girls. This band is awesome.

Hasheesh (February 26, 2009)

This band doesn't like to wash dishes, fuck 'em!

ninjagun (February 26, 2009)

These guys are one of the best bands operating today. Great songs and great guys. We're playing with them Wednesday night (3-4-09) here in Valdosta, GA. Come out if you can.
