The Brides - Suburban Vermin 1996-98 [Hozac]THE BRIDES ARE BACK! Freshly collected on wax in time for their summer tour. Catch 'em at GBUFO Fest! 'The mid 90s, Chicagoland. Suburban highschool angst Ska, math rock, and the dying embers of pop punk were the rage. I actively disliked all of it. Id spend the occasional weekend at the Dummy Room (a record store) off of Ashland Ave. and the owner would recommend 70s 80s punk and rockn roll that would become essential in the years to come. Pagans.

'The mid-’90s, Chicagoland. Suburban highschool angst… Ska, math-rock, and the dying embers of pop-punk were the rage. I actively disliked all of it. I’d spend the occasional weekend at the Dummy Room (a record store) off of Ashland Ave. and the owner would recommend ’70s/’80s punk and rock’n roll that would become essential in the years to come. Pagans. Viletones. Heartbreakers. But I needed more rock’n roll. I had to start a band to fill the void that I felt in the Chicago scene, but things were dire back then. Cultural starvation. I left a flyer at the record store and eventually got in contact with brothers Nick and Damien Dagovitz and then The O’Langutan, the latter of which would eventually blame me for him breaking my own bass that he was playing because “Why would you ever think that’s it’s cool to let a wildman play your bass? You knew that I’m a wildman”. That should have been a clear indication that his brain-moths were not circling the lightbulb correctly, but nope, I looked past it and the band kept on for another year or so. We played some great shows, thanks to Alec Budd of the Problematics and Tom Smith in Green Bay. And I guess that we recorded some okay songs, mostly thanks to Jim Kuczkowski in Indianapolis. But the band wasn’t getting along and after fights and some really difficult gigs, it became a slog. So, by 19, I dissolved it and moved to San Francisco. And that was the end of it.

'Until now. I haven’t listened to these tracks in years, but some of them still hold up. Thank you to my old buddies at HoZac for kicking this dead horse, also Al and the Kooch, and thanks to Todd G. from Indy. Eric O. always had our back, as did Tom S. All my respect goes out to Ken White, who was like a fifth member of the band. And of course Jim O., Erik B. and especially Russ C.

'I hope that you kids enjoy these tunes as much as I enjoyed writing and covering them. Cheers,'– J. Ross Fisher

Just what I wanted.
Color: Black, Navy Blue, Wine Red, Size: 5X-Large
These may have just become my standard shirt to wear. Feels good whether tucked or out. Drapes well and fits well. So far, I can see it adjust to the different undershirt I may wear. Will probably order another set in other colors and a back up set of the basics because they will get worn a lot.

Its alright
Color: Black, Size: 5X-Large
True to size per the size chart. The fabric is soft but it it feels cheap to me. It attracts lint but you can brush it off easily so its not the cheapest material I've dealt with. Also, it is opaque (not see through). There is no front/ back indicator either which is indicative of a cheap shirt in my opinion. Would be friendly for tag sensitive people (to stay positive).

Fuzzballs get wearing once
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Very smart to wear, but the quality is terrible so after one wash the collar start fraying and fuzzballs start forming. Very disappointing.
