DEAR LANDLORD, THE MURDERBURGERS, 9:00NEWS, HIT RESET, URBAN WOLVES
Live at the Plea for Peace Center 630 E Weber Ave Stockton CA DEAR LANDLORD(members of Off with Their Heads/The Copyrights), THE MURDERBURGERS(Glasgow), 9:00NEWS, HIT RESET, URBAN WOLVES Thursday August 9th 7pm $8 at the door.
CURRENT AND FORMER MEMBERS OF: Zack and Brad were in RIVETHEAD. Zack also plays in HOUSE BOAT and OFF WITH THEIR HEADS. Brett and Adam play in THE COPYRIGHTS. Brad also plays in THE GATEWAY DISTRICT and THE SAN DIEGO CHARGERS.
RECORDING: "Dream Homes" was recorded in early April of 2009 with Jacques Wait (also responsible for the roaring grunginess of the last Off With Their Heads Record) at The Terrarium in Minneapolis, MN.
PREVIOUS RELEASES: Two of the songs off this record were originally released in rougher, dirtier forms on split 7"s with Milwaukee's CHINESE TELEPHONES (Recess/It's Alive, 2007) and Minneapolis's OFF WITH THEIR HEADS (No Idea, 2007)
Kind Words from Kind Folks:
"Equal parts Rivethead and The Copyrights (literally), this band is a fucking powerhouse. I'm calling it pop punk, but with more raw power than 1-4-5. They've also figured out a nice loophole to the eternal "do we want to double our vocals when we record?" by having up to three dudes (again, who can belt 'em out) all singing at once at times. We've got a strong contestant for best band of the year." Joe Evans III, Razorcake
"Dear Landlord plays what sounds like an even betterif you can imagine itcontinuation of Rivethead without all of the forty-five second songs. Strong group vocals and depressing choruses are the order of the day, and you'll find yourself singing along to sickness in no time." Dave Dillon, Razorcake
"Doubled up gruff vocalists, urgent lyrics, stop-n-go driving rhythms and some slick guitar riffage make for some awesome tunes." Somebody at It's Alive Records
Southern Lovin' says
Have you ever held a conch shell up to your ear so you can hear the ocean's quiet roar? This DEAR LANDLORD record is kinda like that, but instead you've woken up bleary-eyed on a dirty couch, stumbled out the front door into the brightly burning 2PM sun, found an empty 40 oz bottle laying in the dirt and held it up to your ear. The echoes of last night's blackout pour forth and suddenly foggy memories snap sharply into focus. Pangs of regret stab you in the gut like a knife to the back and you start to wonder where it all went wrong. DEAR LANDLORD are here to remind you. Bordering on super-group status with members of Illinois power-pop masterminds THE COPYRIGHTS and Minneapolis Weasel-worshippers RIVETHEAD, they carry the torch high, burning brightest when they step to the mic together for anthemic choruses cut by snotty leads and broken wrists flying at breakneck speeds. Sign up and cast off, because if you're holding this in your hands you're probably as fucked as them. You just don't know it yet.
No Idea Sugar Daddy Var says
Hanging around outside the OWTH show at THE FEST 6, I remember berating someone in DEAR LANDLORD, Zack maybe? "Let me put out your record!! Let me put out your record!! I'm not kidding!!" And I am never that aggressively to-the-point. There was just something in their brand of Minneapolis madness run through a Chicago grinder that made all reason fly out the window! Heart pounding punk rock! Immediate and relentless! Anyhow, he seemed flattered but said they had, literally, NO songs. In the interim two years, OWTH put out 37 records and then, out of the bleu, I get the call, "Hey, were you serious about putting out that DEAR LANDLORD record?" I said, "Yup," and the rest is historically exciting and relevant to your life, and those you love.
