Description

You know, for a "punk" label, we sure haven't put out many "punk" albums. In fact, you know what? If someone had of told us a year ago that there was a "really great young punk band" coming up, we would have stuck a broom-stick in a pail of wet cement, let it dry, gotten up on a ladder - naked - laughing hysterically while pointing at the person who said it and then jumped as high as we could in the air with our legs spread, impaling our own assholes on said broomstick, gasping and convulsing but still pointing and trying to laugh at said person while our eyes watered uncontrollably.

But then along came a band from East Vancouver called THE REBEL SPELL. And we stopped laughing. We even put our pants back on (though slowly).

It has been a very, very, very long time since a punk band has reached through the speakers and made us believe something was going on beyond the requisite and obvious elements that make one stop and listen to a "good" punk band. Something is going on here. It's not something you can try to put your finger on without sounding like an ass, but we're not being glib when we say that we feel something unusual and important will come of this seemingly conventional street- punk band. Mark that bold and cryptic statement on your calendar people. Don't come crying to us in 5 years if you miss this boat and are subsequently left without any street-cred YOU FUCKING POSER.

These four songs were recorded in the spring of 2007.
