Compilation. Remember that free download comp we gave out a few years back with unreleased songs from most of the MAR bands (yeah remember – the best free music download ever given away, by any label – ever)? Gonna now be available on a limited edition LP…

RiPT OFF series!…
RiPT OFF #1, The Stitches D- 7″ flew off the shelves in one day and we got such a positive reaction about this idea. Who knew that we actually had real fans out there that actually wanted to hear the early primitive versions of their favorite songs, along with the bad rejected songs that were tossed out before they ever made a set list. Anyways, we’re glad you like the format cause we will definitely be continuing on with this series. Plans are in process for upcoming RiPT OFF 7″ releases from THE BODIES, THE STITCHES (PART 2), THE BRIEFS, MODERN ACTION, SHARP OBJECTS and more…
