I finally got the (re-)master from McBean and am knee-deep in producing 1777rex5. Possibly more than any other release, this one's a labour of love.

Ex-Dead Teenager was Stephen McBean (Jerk With A Bomb/Blk.Mtn/Pnk.Mtntps) on guitar and vocals, Joshua Wells (Jerk With A Bomb/Blk.Mtn/Pnk.Mtntps/Blood Meridian/Lightning Dust) on guitar, vocals and keybs, Christoph Hofmeister (Jerk With A Bomb/Daddy's Hands) on bass and Cory Gangnes (S.T.R.E.E.T.S./Pnk.Mtntps) on drums.

They existed from 1996-1999, a time when Vancouver felt kinda lacking in visceral, visionary music. They were the exception. I'll never forget the first time I saw them, how astounded and inspired i felt as i left The Columbia that night. It comes back to me every time I listen to this record.

There'll be copies ready by the last week in March, available here and at Zulu Records.
