I've gotten some requests for copies of the Rarities CD. My goal is to get the entire disc on this page at some point, but obviously, that'll take some time. Some people have already missed a bunch of the songs, which I'll eventually get back up here, but if you want the whole thing, send me a message. I've gotten a few trade offers, but at this point I don't need anything besides vinyl, live stuff or random merch, especially shirts. If you don't have anything to trade, you could send blank CDs, or send me a few bucks. $3 will get you the disc shipped, which will cover all the costs needed to make and send these. If you want copies of the live CD's, they're $1 each. Message me for more info.

I'm gonna start putting up the Rarities CD, in chronological order. First up is Side A from the self titled 7". I'll probably be changing these every week or two.

I'd like to try and use this page for tape/video trading. I'm looking for any SS live videos and tapes/CD's. I don't have any videos yet, but I do have a few rare discs. I've got 2 live shows, one from the Rat in December 1996(included a mini X-mas song set), and one from the Middle East 1997. Also, I've got a rare CD that contains almost all of the bands 7" and compilation tracks(minus "Drano" from the Runt of the Litter comp, and their 3 tapes). It's over 30 tracks, and comes with artwork. I might be putting these tracks up one by one on this page, unless I get any resistance from band members. Anyone who has anything they'd like to sell/trade, send me a message. Also, I'm looking for ANY T-shirts(Medium or Large), posters, flyers, buttons, patches or any other miscellaneous crap. For those looking for any of the bands CD's/LP's, you can still find them online at places like Angry, Young and Poor and Interpunk.

The SS website is basically non-functional; all you get is a mainpage and a guestbook. However, all of the old content is still up on the web, you just need the URL. The discography on the site is excellent, as are the pics. Here are the links:
