Description

[Machine Translation] RE-FORCE RECORDS, a label specializing in reissues, is pleased to announce the long-awaited release of a new album by SIMPLETONES, a legend of the American West Coast punk scene led by Jay Lansford (ex STEPMOTHERS, CHANNEL THREE, RIK L RIK, THE URGE, and now GIGANTOR, AGENT ORANGE, and producer of GIGANTOR, SMARTIES, and more). The vast amount of music left on the POSH BOY RECORDS by SIMPLETONES (ex STEPMOTHERS, CHANNEL THREE, RIK L RIK, THE URGE, and now GIGANTOR; also known as AGENT ORANGE, THE KLAN, THE CROWD, SMARTIES, etc.) will be combined with trusted RE-FORCE RECORDS owner Tilo Drescher (known as a US PUNK researcher) and Jay's confident and reliable team of producers. and Jay himself, have spent more than half a year to select the best and the rest of the simplest songs from the POSH BOY RECORDS. The songs included in this album are all the studio recordings SIMPLETONES made for POSH BOY, live recordings, and the unreleased 12" single Kirsty Q ('79 LA A classic song in the punk scene! ), which later appeared on the BEACH BLVD. omnibus album. The CD also includes two bonus tracks from THE KLAN's very rare and only single! THE KLAN was formed by the vocalist of SIMPLETONES after he left SIMPLETONES. Other SIMPLETONES members formed THE CHIEFS, STEPMOTHERS, and CH3, a great band with POSH BOY's signature melodic and catchy punk sound, but with the typical LA sound of the time and a surf pop punk arrangement. The SIMPLETONES were a great band that had a typical L.A. sound at the time, but with a surf pop punk arrangement. In other words, RAMONES meets BEACH BOYS. It is as if they added the essence of THE LAST to it. This expression is not an exaggeration. This is a must-have item for all punk fans, not to mention US punk fans.

I HAVE A DATE / SIMPLETONES

再発専門レーベルRE-FORCE RECORDS待望のリリースは、アメリカ西海岸パンクシーンの伝説Jay Lansford(ex STEPMOTHERS、CHANNEL THREE、RIK L RIK、THE URGE、そして現GIGANTOR。AGENT ORANGE、THE KLAN、THE CROWDやSMARTIES等のプロデューサーとしても知られる)率いるSIMPLETONESがPOSH BOY RECORDSに残した膨大な楽曲を、信頼のRE-FORCE RECORDSオーナーのTilo Drescher(US PUNK研究家としても知られる)とJay自信によって、半年以上かけて選び抜かれた、まさにBEST&THE REST OF SIMPLETONES!!今回収録されている音源は、SIMPLETONESがPOSH BOYに残したスタジオ録音曲の全てと、ライブ音源、そしてPOSH BOYが発売を中止し、今では伝説となっている未発表12インチ・シングル(カタログ盤後PBS2)に収録されていたKirsty Q(79 LA パンクシーンの名曲中の名曲!!)を収録(後にこの曲はBEACH BLVD.オムニバス・アルバムに別バージョンが収録される)。さらにCDにはボーナストラックとしてTHE KLANの超レアなそして唯一のシングルに収録されていた2曲を追加収録!!THE KLANはSIMPLETONESのヴォーカルがSIMPLETONES脱退後、結成したバンド。その他SIMPLETONESのメンバーはTHE CHIEFS、STEPMOTHERS、CH3を結成。POSH BOYお得意のメロディックでキャッチーなパンクサウンドながら、当時の典型的LAの音を感じさせつつ、サーフ・ポップ・パンク的なアレンジを身上としたグレート・バンドがSIMPLETONES。言わばRAMONES meets BEACH BOYS。そこにTHE LASTのエッセンスを加えたかのよう。この表現は決して大袈裟ではないはず。このリリースでRE-FORCE RECORDSの株は更に上がること間違い無し。USパンク・ファンは勿論、全パンク・ファン絶対必聴/必携のマストアイテムです。6月中旬~下旬発売予定です。
