The second part of this month’s new release series is admittedly dominated by cover tunes. Great bands such as Superchunk, The Feelies, Cruzados, The Routes, Hayley and the Crushers and the Rick White Archive are featured remaking classics by The Cure, The Minutemen, Buzzcocks, and others. But the main focus of the covers blasted on tonight’s show is the brand new tribute album to, of course, The Replacements. Let the Bad Times Roll, and it’s definitely worth they hype. “December 2022 I was drinking at the Fishtown Tavern and ‘Can’t Hardly Wait ‘ came on the jukebox, and at that moment I knew this tribute to the Mats needed to happen,” Arik Victor from Creep Records says in a press release. “The next day, we invited all the bands we love.” Of course, tonight’s show is more than cover tunes. We have the return of The Alarm, the second 2023 album by bar italia, and wonderful material from the Netherlends, Australia, Italy, and other countries around the world. As for this week’s edition of “52 Weeks of Teenage Kicks”, I admittedly discovered a real treat on YouTube. Baby Shakes have routinely performed the tune as an encore, and this live version I […]

To be honest I forget exactly which interviews they were mentioned but you can go back to those episodes and let me know. After some scheduling issues on my part, I got Angelo on the phone and this is what we talked about: Who from the PA scene did he go to college with Skinheads in the scene Getting on Kevin seconds record label The scene in Western PA His letter to Superchunk His band Sadaharu The Every time I Die Story His record store with his wife And a ton more If you’re in Lancaster PA check out his brother’s record store Mr. Suit Records.

Plow United is an American punk rock who formed in Wilmington, Delaware in 1992. They played fast punk rock with pop, thrashcore and hardcore influences. Their lyrics are sometimes labeled "emo" postfact. Band members are Brian McGee (vocals and guitar), Sean Rule (drums) and Joel Tannenbaum (bass). In 1996, the band recorded and released their second record ("Goodnight Sellout"), and received attention from major labels. They declined to pursue a career in rock and roll, however, and in 1997 the band broke up at the height of its popularity. In 1998 Creep Records released a posthumous third LP ("Narcolepsy"), a darker take on the band's loose, aggressive pop-punk sound. In 1998, Plow United reformed to play three shows in New York and Pennsylvania to promote the release of "Narcolepsy". They got back together in 2011 to play some shows including Gainesville. Florida’s FEST, and recorded a full length in 2012 called Marching band. Arik from Creep Records said I should reach out to Brian. I did and here’s what we talk about: Their “show” with Busta Rhymes Playing in the High School band having an influence on Plow Who was the main songwriter in the band Throttle Jockey hair on fire story The Bouncing Souls Their time on Creep Records How they have a ton of merch left over Making merch to help save Day Laborers His chance to sing in a little band called Kid Dynamite Square Dancing And a ton more If you're in Carrboro check out his new store Before we begin, this week’s episode is sponsored by my animation company drive80.

Creep Records began as a record label started by Arik Victor in 1993 and has since expanded to a retail space, recording studio, and screenprinting. Their roots are in punk and hardcore, putting out releases in our early years from the likes of The Bouncing Souls, Plow United, Violent Society, All Else Failed and more. The tales of the Creep House in West Chester have become that of legend, building a bond and community that lives and grows to this day. However, they have always been a label that puts out the music they truly love, regardless of genre. I heard of Creep Records when I was in my late teens because my friends found out about this band called Plow United. Plow would be on heavy rotation in my buddy Lucc’s silver Ford Probe when we would drive from Jefferson, NJ to either the Rockaway mall, Jefferson Diner, Greenpond, Flipside Records or the many shows we attended. Alan Rappaport mentioned Creep Records in episode 24 and it made me think, well shit, I need to interview Arik. So I did and this is what we talk about: 80s hip hop NWA and 2 live crew The scariness of metal shows How he started recording bands Using a house party to get bands to record with him Creating Creep Records because of Plow United Getting taken advantage of by distributors Passing on the first Bigwig release His process for signing a band Why bands can’t reunite after 20 years and make it a full-time gig Tower Records having a positive effect on the music industry Hopes of punk rock saving the country Opening his record store And a ton more Check out my comic and my book.

What a great time I had with one of the owner/operators of Creep Records, Mark Tawney. We broadcasted live on facebook from Creep Stage. We covered everything from Art to egos in the art world. Marks love of art is what really inspired this multifunctional store. Creep Records began as a record label in 1993 and has since expanded to a retail space in the Piazza in Northern Liberties. The record store portion of our store is vinyl-focused. We also have CDs and cassettes. While many record stores focus mainly on used vinyl, our store maintains a true balance between new vinyl and a constant influx of quality used vinyl. Our selectection has genres ranging from indie and punk to metal and hip hop. Our focus has and always will be on bringing in great music to the store, whether its mainstream or underground, and our customers having a great record shopping experience. Stay tuned for an upcoming Comedy Fundraiser Show for #TuffysFight.
