In 2019 a young man contacted me out of the blue. He wanted to pull together a tribute album of Really Red songs and already had some financial backing. That caught me off balance, but my life has been off balance for years.
Bands as diverse as The BellRays, The Hickoids, Mudhoney, MDC, Doomstress, SOTAP, Verbal Abuse, Cold Black Vines, Hamell on Trial, Jello Biafra, and the Dicks recorded in a dozen different studios. Hamell recorded his track on his iPhone in a hotel room the weekend that he heard we needed someone to replace old friend DOA. Multiple tracks were recorded at Wire Road Studios in Houston which is where the final mastering was completed by Andrew Bradley.
The 2xLP, one black and one clear, includes a 2'x2' poster of photos, credits, recording studios, and our slaves who put a huge effort into this project. These are all new recordings made between the summer of 2019 (recorded in Barcelona!) to the early days of the pandemic in 2020.
Keith Rozendal: I tell everyone I can that, “This is the best punk comp released so far this century!” By some distance, in fact.
Digital release July 8, 2020. Physical release 9/11/2020 (before the fall of the 4th Reich). SAUSTEX distributes the "Teaching You The Fear...Again" CD or Double LP which was funded by Starvation Dance Productions.
