    THE NEVERMORES: Nevereverafter CD (TIRC-006)

    (Click above to order/download!) Recorded in a drafty, dilapidated warehouse and mixed in the embalming room of a former mortuary, THE NEVERMORES’ debut album, Nevereverafter, practically oozes with a slimy mixture of overt Edgar Allan Poe references and fuzzy garage scuzz befitting their lo-fi mindset and obsession with Roger Corman’s classic B-movie retellings of Poe tales.

    The 75s: Stereo EP (TIRC-004)

    (Click above to order/download!) Girlie Pop for the NM+9 (New Millennium Plus Nine, duh).

  • THE HONKEYS: Tossage 7″ (TIRC-002)

    THE HONKEYS: Tossage 7″ (TIRC-002)

    The first and for quite a few years the ONLY surf/instro band from St. Louis released this 7″ EP on TIRC Records way back in the hot, sweaty summer of 2000. No digitized files of the these two songs (”Tossage” and “Tell ‘em Large Marge Sent Ya”) exist, at least not until I can track down the master… In the meantime, there are a dozen or so copies of the 7″ collecting dust in my basement, so if you’d like one, shoot me $3.00 PPD via PayPal, and don’t forget to include your mailing address!
