Silver Sprocket details new EP from Vic Ruggiero of The Slackers, Filth re-issue

Contributed by avi. Posted by aubin on Friday, March 20, 2009 at 4:00 PM (EDT)

The Silver Sprocket Bicycle Club has released a new 7" EP from Vic Ruggiero, front-man of The Slackers, entitled On The Rag Time. The four-song EP is described as a rag-time piano record with all original songs, and featuring Jimmy Boom of The Phenomenauts on drums. The EP has a limited pressing of 500 on red and purple wax. Silver Sprocket will be releasing a full-length follow-up album by Ruggiero this summer.

Silver Sprocket has also re-issued Filth's Live The Chaos 7" EP with a pressing of 500 on green vinyl. The EP was originally released in 1990 on Lookout Records with cover art by Jesse Michaels, the East Bay band's debut release "reminding you to keep your mohawk above water, outta the clouds, and off of the fuckin postcards."

Further information and mail-order can be found on the Silver Sprocket website.

Heil see what you did there.

MattRamone (March 20, 2009)

I was at Criminal Records yesterday and had to choose between The Blatz/Filth split and the single collection from the Subhumans (CAN). I went with the latter.

Both solid choices, but the shit split's pretty essential.

MattRamone (March 20, 2009)

I've never actually heard it.

baldsteve (March 20, 2009)

Are you fucking kidding me?

'The List' is one of the best punk songs I've ever heard in my life.

MattRamone (March 20, 2009)

Can you toss it in the beardcave? I'll give it a listen when I get back from Atlanta.

miniblindbandit (March 20, 2009)

do you have to be a eunuch to join the beardcave?

MattRamone (March 20, 2009)

You have to dance, dance, DANCE for the pretty people, boy!

baldsteve (March 20, 2009)

I'll throw it in, be careful, it's moist in there.

MattRamone (March 20, 2009)

Why, was Mike talking about Polar Bear Club again?

baldsteve (March 20, 2009)

when is he not?

MattRamone (March 20, 2009)

Also, "Fuck You" is one of the greatest rock songs of all time, punk or otherwise. I think I made the right choice.

ffwoodycooks (March 20, 2009)

this thread has way too much hyperbole, with all this "best punk song ever" talk.
youd think this is a mikexdude review or something.

MattRamone (March 20, 2009)

Mikexdude is the only voice in reviewing that matters.

ffwoodycooks (March 20, 2009)

i disagree, i like that ffwoodycock guy, whoever that is.

MattRamone (March 20, 2009)

That guy smelled like tree sap and broccoli farts. I'm glad he's gone.

ffwoodycooks (March 20, 2009)

what happened to FattRamone? i preferred him.

baldsteve (March 20, 2009)

Do you know the song I'm talking about? I dare you to contest it. I'm not some kid that just got into stuff and is all energized by it, it stands the test of time.

ffwoodycooks (March 20, 2009)

no i havent heard it. i have no idea what is going on or what you're talking about.

baldsteve (March 20, 2009)

"THE LIST" by Filth off of the Shit Split with Blatz

ffwoodycooks (March 20, 2009)

baldsteve (March 20, 2009)

ffwoodycooks (March 20, 2009)

baldsteve (March 20, 2009)
