THE GREAT UNRAVELING - SPACE TRAVEL / LEFT WITH ONLY OUT 7" (VERMIFORM [VMFM 25], 1996) [USA]

The Great Unraveling - Space Travel / Left With Only Out 7"
(Vermiform – [VMFM 25], 1996) [USA]




Another short-lived band that I think gets often overlooked is The Great Unraveling from Baltimore, Maryland featuring Tonie Joy [Moss Icon, Born Against, Universal Order of Armageddon]. Released on Vermiform in 1996. Love the simple art for this one too, always stood out to me.









THE PARTY OF HELICOPTERS - FAIRY GOD FIGHTERS 7" (DONUT FRIENDS [DF#037], 1996) [USA]

The Party of Helicopters - Fairy God Fighters 7"
(Donut Friends – [DF#037], 1996) [USA]




A great 7" single from Kent, Ohio's The Party of Helicopters released on band member Jamie Stillman's label Donut Friends in 1996. Some of my favorite tracks of theirs on this one.






BUBBLEGUM LEMONADE - TEN YEARS YOUNGER CDEP (MATINÉE RECORDINGS [MATINÉE 064], 2007) [SCOT]

Bubblegum Lemonade - Ten Years Younger CDEP
(Matinée Recordings – [matinée 064], 2007) [SCOT]




A ton of great indiepop music out of Scotland, and Bubblegum Lemonade [Lawrence McCluskey] is no exception! I adore this CDEP, the band's first release. The final track being a cover of 'That Thing you Do!' from the 1996 Tom Hanks film, as originally performed by the "Oneders".
