A Long Time Ago

Cool Guy

Holy shit! This collection of rarities and unreleased material is a punk rocker’s wet dream. For a band with a spectacular 10-year career, their recordings are particularly difficult to find, even on the collector’s market.

In 1989, the band went into the studio set up by Brett “Epitaph” Gurwitz, and recorded an EP titled Do It All. It quickly sold out of the 2,000 copies pressed. Well, cheer up, bunkie; it’s all here. Hell, yeah! And all the other hot stuff, too, like their early demos. Their version of Kiss’ “Strutter” is TDF.

Yeah, I know; we miss ‘em. But this is as good as seeing them. Well, almost. Cool Guy Records, 10140 Gard Ave, Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670
