Splurge - Five and a Half Songs Demo Tape

Splurge - Five and a Half Songs Demo Tape

I found this dusty gem at the end of an old mix tape I created back in the 90's. I dubbed this off the original demo tape my friend let me borrow. I appologize for the dodgy quality, lack of original artwork and track listing. I try to be as thorough as possible when it comes the organization of my music library, but this one is nearly impossible to complete. I'm not sure if "Pissin' on the Grass" was on the original demo release, but I included it anyway. Enjoy!

Splurge - Exit/Stretch EP

Splurge - Exit/Stretch EP

I apologize for the lack of updates as of recent. The time my daily routine exhausts sometimes prohibits my ability to focus on enjoyable tasks, like updating this blog, but I will try and be more consistant. Anywho, Splurge is one of those bands that always will remind me of where I grew up. Lyrically, they depict the Long Island that is eternally embedded in my mind. An overcrowded sandbar with everything anyone could ever want and everyone always looking for something to do. High energy, melodic pop punk. Enjoy!

VA - Victims Of The Modern Age - Food Not Bombs Comp

VA - Victims Of The Modern Age - Food Not Bombs Comp

Today's offering is brought to you by one of my many failed ventures. Basically, the story behind this one is I ran a (kind of) label out of NJ called DAB Records (Drunk And Broke Records, which was appropriate because I was at the time). One day, my friend Angelo and I decided we would do a comp that would feature a lot of our friends bands. We started contacting bands locally to see what kind of responses we could get. The response was good so we then began contacting bands throughout the country we were fans of and to say the least, it went really well. One minor detail we overlooked after pressing this was how the hell we would sell it? I still have 2 boxes of about 400 of this CD sitting in my closet. Lesson learned. Enjoy!

The Striped Basstards-Splurge - Split EP

The Striped Basstards-Splurge - Split EP

Growing up on the North Shore of Long Island, shows at Cedar Beach were a staple in the local scene.  A small, open brick building facing the Long Island Sound, this location became important to the early development of my musical influences.  The Striped Basstards and Splurge both played this location many times and forever this split EP will remind me of those balmy summer nights.
