Start with first track off no worse for the wear. Its the most "friendly"

Batch is awesome. I'd revisit it. Plus, their Devo cover is great. How can you knock that?

"__________ type thing" is their best in my opinion. "Diamond earrings" is still amazing 20 years later.

Dear torgo, punknews doesn't have a submission category for when bands do a short run of dates. Considering both of these bands play very rarely its a pretty important news story since there are people like myself who would travel to see this.

Did I saw don't report it? I like both those bands. But you don't need a catagory for the news story "ALL / Big Drill Car play a few shows in California"

Well at the moment we have the music for the full length finished but no vocal tracks done.
Wauz has tonsof amazing stuff happening with red tape parade.
Mattramone is trading presciption pills and beer with dudes in thursday and starting a madball tribute band.
And I've been super busy starting up a record label... id love for the music to get used for something.. If wauz doesn't have time I've been toying with the idea to get people from orgcore bands to do guestvocals on all the songs

You know I'm down with that last idea, sir.

You guys are on my list for sure.

Also the new song sounds great, when's the rest of the stuff gonna be mixed?

Report

Mixing is done, mastering is getting done today and tomorrow. The artwork is done and we're gonna send the whole thing off to Twin Cuts in about a week or so. I'll have a digital copy for you before then. Get stoked, it sounds good!

I hope the hiatus ends sooner rather than later. I wish I could help out in some way, but I have no musical talent at all.

i agree, i got my hopes up thinking that i might finally catch ALL on tour, turns out its only three shows. what a letdown after reading the title.

Didn't one of their pitchers just get busted for a DUI with a mostly empty bottle of Crown Royal riding shotgun?

You know Keith, what I've always wondered, with all these ball clubs flying around all season don't you think there would be a plane crash?

But if you think about it...26 teams, 162 games a season, you'd think eventually an entire team would get wiped out.

The Marlins weren't around during that episode?

They're 24 oz, $4.50 a PBR is not bad at a sports stadium.

i do hate the yankees, but i am going to the cubs/yankees game tomorrow. my fiancee found tix for $14, so we're gonna be at the second ever game at the stadium...first if it keeps raining tonight.

That's sweet, I totally forgot it was raining right now though, I was looking foward to seeing it on TV tonight

AT&T park is something like $7 for a beer (Bud I believe) in a tiny ass plastic cup. It can not be more than 10 ounces. Of course, that's why you go to Reds Java House for $2PBR before hand.

I've always felt like they would sell more if the price was cheaper and therefore make more money. Am I wrong about this? I won't buy 3 beers for 21 bucks, meaning they won't get my money at all, but I would be willing to spend 21 bucks for 8-10 beers (at a stadium or wherever) or however many it takes to get me drunk, and we both win.

Assuming the HOB are as big as they are on the East Coast, I didn't think All were big enough to be playing 1000-1500 capacity venues.

Scott

myspace blog said Scott will be singing. I knew it

I think Chad's days in the band are done.

Scott ALL was the best ALL anyway. Anything's better than Dave, I guess.

I never saw them with Dave, but I'm a big fan of his work and I like his songs on the ALL retrospective (esp. Just Perfect--I'm a sucker for the sweet stuff)

I guess i'm one of the very few that really doesn't like Scott's vocals, I met the guy back in the early 90's, he was super nice, but it's Dave and Chad by a fucking mile. (On most albums, nothing could save "Pummel" though)

1.)Mass nerder
2.)Allroy for prez
3.)Allroy sez
4.)Breaking things
5.)Allroy's revenge
6.)Problematic
7.)Allroy saves
8.)Percolater
9.)Pummel

I really hope not. He needs to get it together, I'm sick of this punk goes alt-country shit.

They tried to get a show in the Bay area - both bands wanted it - but neither band could afford it. Its expensive to do shows when you're not on tour
