PRE-ORDER THE NEW "STILL STANDING" 7"

We are very excited to announce that we have a brand new 7” available for pre-order at Alternative Tentacles Records. “Still Standing” was originally intended as a gift for our street team, The Bomb Squad. However Jello Biafra heard about the 7” and asked us to release it on Alternative Tentacles Records, and honestly how can you tell Jello no?

The whole 7” is meant as a gift and a rare look back at two songs that needed some attention. Here’s what’s up…

First up, “Irish Boys”… one of our classics. It’s a live show favorite but up until now the version on our first ever split 7” “B-Movie Queens”, and the remastered version on “Trust No One” was literally a 4 track recording made at our bassist Dominic’s house in 1999. It didn’t even have our drummer Gabe playing on it because it was recorded before he even joined! We had always intended to re-record it, but then our keyboardist/vocalist Oobliette left the band and we never did. It’s too great a song not to get a proper recording, so we are beyond excited for it to finally have a definitive version.

The other song that we were finally able to give some love to is “El Diablo”. Another live show favorite, “El Diablo” was originally written with Oobliette playing keyboard on the song, but again her leaving the band right before we recorded 2002’s “The Ultimate Escape” LP meant the version everyone has been hearing all this time was a version we had to re-arrange quickly. We finally after all these years can present the song as it was always intended to be heard, and we are REALLY happy with the results.

Side B are two live tracks from an actual bootleg recorded in New York in 2018 and they are so fun. These are exclusive to the 7”. Alternative Tentacles Records has this 7” paired up with an exclusive t-shirt of the cover only available during the pre-order! The cover… from a photo by Jeff Mozey Photography and design by Superbeast, is just iconic. It makes for such an epic shirt and deserves to be worn.
