Club 8 - Summer Songs CDEP

(Labrador – [LAB028], Hidden Agenda Records – [AHA!044], 2002) [SWE]

Summer 2025 is long gone and the days are feeling short and grey, and that's why I long again for Club 8 and their summer feelings. This 5 song CDEP has one more track that the 7" version does not have. Released in 2002 between two labels.

I earlier had posted The Sugarcubes - Birthday CDEP, but this is the 7" version. Same A-side , but a different B-side not on that CDEP. The flip side is a Remix version with Jim and William Reid of JAMC doing some guitar feedback and crooning.

FLUX - PLAINS AT GROUND ZERO 7" (MAN'S RUIN RECORDS [MR-31], 1996) [USA]

Flux - Plains at Ground Zero 7"

(Man's Ruin Records – [MR-31], 1996) [USA]

Flux is a stoner metal band from Dallas, Texas that I really know very little about! One proper release from 1996 on Man's Ruin Records. I love kinda discovering these slightly obscure bands that release one single and disappear. I love the B-side on this one and fits into that stoner rock groove I've been in for the past month.
