48 in the Basement/The Microwave Orphans - Young N' Abrasive

48 in the Basement/The Microwave Orphans - Young N' Abrasive

What can I say, this album has the best title, amazing artwork and two of the bands I enjoyed the most locally while growning up. It is made up of 6 songs from both 48 in the Basement and The Microwave Orphans and in my opinion it is comprised of the best material both of these bands recorded in their careers. A journey through the day in the life of a suburban Long Island teenager with stories of hearbreak, trips to the mall and wiffle ball in D & D parking lots. Enjoy!

The Microwave Orphans - While You Were Out Being Straight Edge EP

The Microwave Orphans - While You Were Out Being Straight Edge EP

The Microwave Orphans will always be one of those bands that people are familiar with but do not fully understand. The albums they realeased really cannot even begin to explain who this band was or what they were about. The music over the years remained consistant, even considering the numerous memeber changes over the years. The true essence of this band was their live performance (as I briefly explained in a previus post). To my knowledge, this EP was the last material they released prior to forming The Repercussions. 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!

VA - Eiffel Trousers Records Sampler - Bad Music For Bad People

VA - Eiffel Trousers Records Sampler - Bad Music For Bad People

In the summer of 1996, my band at the time, Sedition, arrived at the  illustrious Rubber Chicken Studios to record everything we had ever written before our drummer was to move back to Germany.  I remember a 4 track, a 24 pack, 5 dudes and a hot, sticky basement.  It was probably one of the most unique recording experiences I have ever been involved with.   Needless to say, we made it through everything (somehow) which can be heard on this sampler.  Eiffel Trousers Records was a record label run by my good buddy, Matt Orphan.  The diversity of the songs on this cassette is a prime example of what this label was all about.  Enjoy!

The Microwave Orphans - Andre Demo Tape

The Microwave Orphans - Andre Demo Tape

Straight out of Kings Park, NY, this band became known locally for their eccentric live performances, providing a party-like vibe, usually resulting in their singer, Matt Orphan, running around in a pair of tighty-whiteys sporting a megaphone yelling gibberish.  This band went through a series of name and member changes, but always managed to release solid tunes and definitely carved their niche in the history of the local Long Island music scene.
