On The Other Side collects all non-album tracks released by The Marked Men, originally released in the period between 2003 and 2010 on labels such as Dirtnap, Swami, No Idea, Shit Sandwich, and Mortville, plus two never-before-heard unreleased tracks from deep in the vault. It’s hard to believe that it’s been close to fifteen years since Dirtnap first released a Marked Men record. Since then, the label has done close to twenty releases by the band member’s various bands (Marked Men, Radioactivity, High Tension Wires, Potential Johns, Mind Spiders). Counting the releases Mark Ryan and / or Jeff Burke have had a hand in recording, that number goes even higher. It’s a relationship that continues to this day; if there is / has been a “flagship band” for the label, Marked Men and their various offshoots are it. Although they continue to play a handful of shows each year, the band hasn’t released any new material since 2009 (the last album came out in 2008), and they have no plans to do so, so this compilation is as close to a new album as one is going to get. The band’s affinity for fast, choppy power chords and manic energy is in evidence here, as the band stretches its legs throughout these solid closing credits and shows why they were one of the leaders of a sound that has never gone (or will go) out of style.

***BACK IN STOCK!!! Note new price. "Reissue of the third MARKED MEN LP, which shows the band's pop sensibilities in full bloom. Not only are the Marked Men one of our very favorite bands of the ‘00s, but at this point we'd put 'em up there as one of Texas' great musical exports. Originally issued on Swami Records in 2006, this release put the Marked Men on many people's radar, and remains some folks' favorite to this day. Unfortunately, this thing has been unavailable for quite some time (especially the vinyl), so we thought we'd do you a favor and make this available once again. You can thank us later. And if you think we're done milking the Marked Men thing now, you, my friend, are sadly mistaken. Look for several more MM related titles coming out in 2010, including a new High Tension Wires LP, Potential Johns 7-inch (yes, it's really coming out), and a 7-inch from Mark Ryan's new project, which doesn't have a name yet, but rules."—Ken (Dirtnap)

***VINYL BACK IN PRINT!!! Note price increase. The fourth full-length album from THE MARKED MEN. Blurring the rawness and velocity of their self-titled debut with the slightly more developed songwriting "chops" of the last two, the Marked Men have truly delivered the best of both worlds. Since their debut album came out on Rip Off in 2002 (reissued in 2008 on Dirtnap!), the Marked Men have established themselves as one of the best, most distinctive, compelling, and instantly recognizable punk bands of the 2000's.

***Back in stock on LP!!! Twelve punchy, tightly wound bullets of punk and power-pop goodness from Dallas Texas' finest, THE MARKED MEN. Featuring ex-members of beloved Texas outfit THE REDS, the band's debut album on Rip Off Records put them on just about every discerning punk rocker's 2003 top ten list, which was followed by highly successful tours of the US and Japan. With this highly anticipated and well produced follow-up, the boys are poised for even more.
