Scaterd Few : Sin Disease LP!

One of my favorite punk albums of all time is Scaterd Few’s Sin Disease which was released in 1990. To mark the 25th anniversary, the album has been remastered and btv will be pressing the album on vinyl for the very first time. This is a limited, one-time vinyl pressing of this classic. It will come with a digital download and be in a gatefold jacket. This is a pre-order and will ship for the July 2015 release date. There is also an option to get the LP with an eBook download that Allan Aguirre is writing about the record. “Merciless, brutal, neurotic, Tourettic, and consistently stunning, Scaterd Few’s debut didn’t push the boundaries of rock — it annihilated them.

Williams Shift comes to life as an outgrowth of the poppiest elements incorporated in songs recorded as members of the instrumental band Saxon Shore combined with the concept of the “Williams Shift” where defenders would align themselves to better field naturally pulled hits from Boston slugger Ted Williams. The band blends soaring synth pop influences with an ever-expanding and spiraling Williams mythology and weight of the Cosmos. Captivated by theories of human cryonic suspension and the cagey details post-Williams mortem, the band embraces an actively dreaming suspended head and an alternate future of Williams’ awakening. His frozen head orbits the earth on a satellite with other cryonically frozen beings, a tragic Greek chorus echoing Williams’ thoughts through Brian Wilson-esque (musician, not reliever) melodies.
