You think this will ever get repressed?

the melvins side was repressed on the euthanasia single 

[WeEmptyRooms]

Unfortunately despite every effort made at our end this was never re-pressed. I told the band from the beginning the plan would be to re-press - both bands have no problem selling out a 7" record.
I contacted Melvins a number of times (long before the Euthanasia 7") to confirm they were happy with the terms of the re-press but they never replied.
I was not willing to risk doing the re-press without the bands confirmation lest something be not to their liking.

So it's a bummer but that's how it is.

I never would've thought a power pop singer like Tim Rogers (Oasis were fans of You Am I) would front a punk band like the Hard-Ons.

i saw YouAmI open for Soundgarden and Reverend Horton Heat in 94. i liked their set a lot. bought a cd and didn't feel that it quite lived up to what i saw on stage. i thought they were at least energetic, compared to that thud/ twang/ whine bullshit Oasis does.

I think that's always been a bit of an issue with You Am I for me they're quite rocking live but their studio albums are a bit sedate and a step slower. On Oasis I remember Noel Gallagher talking about You Am I in interviews and they got them to support them on their first Australian tour.

I never knew Keish de Silva was kicked out of the Hard-Ons due to sexual misconduct allegations in March, 2021. Anyway the band with Tim Rogers as it's new lead singer starts their first national tour in Australia with him on Thursday.

The Hard-Ons have a new album 'Ripper 23' coming out on June 2,  this will be the first album fully involving Tim Rogers from start to finish as the last album was mainly written before he joined the band. The band have just announced an Australian tour to promote the album and will be announcing dates for their 20th European tour soon.

A great quote from Tim leading up to playing his first show with the Hard-Ons:

"It was just joy, straight away," Rogers told Music Feeds' David James Young in 2021. "We were planning a show at Frankie's Pizza that was going to be my first one with the band. The guys said to me, 'Why don't you write a setlist?' I called my best mate in a panic – I was like, "fuck, I can't whittle it down from the 83 songs I've picked."
