SHIPWRECKED

First time available on vinyl! With bonus tracks and
unreleased material! The Sultans formed in 2000 and
were John Reis / Slasher and Tony DiPrima and at times
also Andy Stamets / Black Flame (Rocket From The
Crypt's ND) and Dean Reis / Black Velvet (Mannequin
Piss, Spider Fever, The Heartaches, Los Dug Dugs).
Shipwrecked was the bands second album and was released
only on CD in 2004. It was hailed as a "power-pop meets
'70s punk classic" by Virtual Underground Press and ".a
masterpiece of the form... essential" by the Cleveland Call
And Post. This reissue is a labor of lust with maximum
attention to detail in resurrecting these masters from their
deteriorated, analog state. The result is a louder, thicker
and even more bristling slab of triumphant rock 'n' roll.
Everything on this reissue cuts deeper and breaks the digital
glass into razor sharp shards and then shits on the 1s and 0s.
Treble Magazine says. "It is the perfect soundtrack to your
post-breakup life: fourteen songs about heartache, shame,
trying to move on, regrets and just plain old hate. (And by
the by, hate has never sounded as good as this)". Added
to the original are four bonus tracks, one being a cover of
The Dils "Blow Up" and another the never released "Out
Of Focus". Shipwrecked was the last record at Drag Racist
(Hot Snakes, RFTC, etc) before it shuddered its doors for
good.
