Amazon just today has only the cd up for preorder.
42.00…ward records, possibly a japan only release.
This thing started on indiegogo.
Unless that 42.00 price is in YEN, they can fuck directly off.

I like it. It’s not mind-blowing, but it’s a fun groovy track and it introduced me to the Cheap Trick song (the original) which is really cool.
Not a fan.
Its not bad…I’m a Cheap Trick fan so its cool to hear this…Benate is wearing a Mother Love Bone shirt…not a shirt you see every day…its funny with that band…people always cite them as these grunge pioneers but everything I heard by them just sounded like cock rock…always seemed odd to me that they had that status of this seminal grunge band…and god damn, grunge was such a stupid genre tag…
HAHAHAHA!!! Dude, you’re right!!! I’d never even given them a listen until now (your comments made me interested). They don’t sound anything like the other so-called “Grunge” bands of Seattle. They sound more like those cheesy leftovers that were the last on the Sunset Strip still cursing the day Cobain was born. I’d have filed that shit with Damn Yankees, White Lion, and Bullet Boys before some kid corrected me, hahaha. I’m gonna chalk that one up for another case of “dying at the right time” because they’d would be completely forgotten otherwise.
Soundgarden sounded pretty cock rock-y on their first album.
Hahaha fucking Bullet Boys…those guys were such chumps…a lot of singers of that era really tried to copy David Lee Roths stage presence, but that singer for the Bullet Boys really really really wanted to be Diamond Dave…they were one of those bands me and my friends used to love to crack on when we used to watch Headbangers Ball and do our own MST3K type commentary while we pounded beers and smoked a ton of weed…
Yeah Soundgarden and some other of those Seattle bands suffered that affliction early on…that band Green River are considered by many as the first “grunge band”…they made an album and a couple ep’s before splitting into what would eventually become Pearl Jam and Mudhoney…apparently they were so short-lived because one camp wanted to be more punk(the Mudhoney dudes) and the other wanted to be more cock rock/cheese metal(the Pearl Jam dudes)…that’s why I always laugh at the grunge genre tag as some revolutionary movement…half those guys wanted to be cock rockers and the rest wanted to be some mixture of Sabbath, Melvins and The Stooges…I don’t mean to generalize because some good music came out of that scene…but to me it was always just a new take on sludgy metal and or some combo of that with some punky vibes…but “GRUNGE”!!!man get the fuck outta here with that shit…5 years later you could look at the grunge section in your fashion magazines hocking flannel shirts and knitted caps…
