ORPHAN WORKS (2 LP)

Double vinyl LP pressing. 2010 collection from the Bay Area punks containing studio outtakes, in-studio radio shows and live recordings from the busiest six years of the band's career! "Strange to think what it was like back then... I have to admit, the 90s were often a trial, there were soaring 'highs' and a few doleful 'lows'. But years later, even thinking of loading our gear into a trailer at 4 a.m. seems... uh, eventful. at the time I might have been wondering what the fuck I was doing with my life but I now tend to romanticize Samiam's past. Samiam was a garage band thrust into a world of constant touring, major labels and blown transmissions. Yet, the fact that we were basically failures in the eyes of the music industry didn't change the simple fact that we were young and having fun.'
