OBN IIIs / S/t

Tic Tac Totally

Throw away your fucking reverb pedals cuz OBN III's are bringing the pub rock fury of greats like Johnny Moped to the party again.  After a string of destroyers now on wax, the OBN III's have gained a rep for an insane live show and balls out, snot-rock crunchers.  Always avoiding the horribly sideways trappings and trap-doors of stupid gadgety, hollow gimmickry, and meaningless high fashion tomfoolery.  This is a slap in all those folks faces, and your official breath of fresh air as the time tested beast of hard rock steps out again.  Their S/T album is a sinister, straight up rock/punk/hard rock record.  Solid songs and dark vibes.  The beef.  Not the weird fish taco.  Solos that burn your tonearm off while it wiggles to keep up with shredding guitars.  Bonehead sluggers chugging along, beating in the undercurrent, until you're suddenly pulled into the undertow before you can say "this guy is in BAD SPORTS?!"  You will HEAR the lyrics as they condemn your useless life of blogging and whining about it.  There will be no Roland space echo.  You will hear it once.  And it will tap into the primitive Stooge lava we all have dormant in our brains, encrusted from dry dreck, curiously awaiting eruption.  So quit trying to sound like the Oh Sees.  Stick your head out the window and get a sniff.  These are the darkest, heaviest, best chrystalized songs to date from Austin's great sons.   

We ensured the all-analog signal path was painstakingly maintained for this record just like any real rocker of the 60's or 70's ever was.  Mastering was done directly from the 2" tapes, and I ain't gonna sit here and tell you it's okay, cuz it's NOT.  It fucking rules!  Pressed on HIGH QUALITY 180 GRAM VINYL too.  All stitched up in a deluxe GATEFOLD JACKET (featuring photography by the amazing Renate Winter, best chick), 

and included a KILLER, COLOR POSTER featuring again, the work of Ms. Winter.  We even put in ONE OF THOSE SILLY HIGH QUALITY DOWNLOADS the kids are talking about these days.  Don't be fooled by over-priced junk with REVERB PEDALS either, cuz we made sure to keep the best "quality-to-price" ratio in very likely the entire last decade with this one. The economy sucks, and TTT loves THE REAL ROCKERS, of which, we assume you fucking ARE if you like THIS.  So, we kept the price absurdly below the estimated $16 per record it COST US to make.  Mark that down in your little black books, ya fuckin' scenesters.

HAVE A NICE LIFE.  Oh, and go see this band when they creep into the van later this year to come play in your crummy town.
