:w00t: Just checked today out of curiosity and BAM!

It seems like other Caroline Records stuff has made its way on like the first few Idaho releases.

I have yet to meet a Versus album that wasn't great, but this one and Secret Swingers is kind of the sweet spot for me. It's a crime that they weren't bigger. The vocal interplay between Fontaine and Richard is top notch, and man that guitar tone. I don't do a lot of streaming so I assumed it would've already been out there but that's great news!

Yeah. I’ve seen them 3 times. Great band.

Music rights change hands all the time. Swervedriver’s 99th Dream got pulled, and now that it’s been reissued on a new label it’s back. Their album Ejector Seat Reservation never got a US release back in the day (I paid a silly amount of money for the import CD), and now it’s finally available.

This is the one with the hidden track before the album, right? I wonder how (/if) that works with streaming.

I think the Afterglow EP is mine if I had to pick.

I really appreciate that they’re still doing it in a way that works for them.

Oh yea, any time it's raining I'll inevitably hear the wife singing "It's raining alllll over this town" :).

I was lucky enough to see them at the Teenbeat 20th show where they played "Stars" in its entirety. Unbelievably good.

Big Versus nerd here. Friends with them. Opened for them, and had them stay at my place a few times. They used my amps for a few shows in DC. Love those guys. :-*

Very cool, my bandmate corresponds with Richard and they do seem like nice folk.
For those that aren't aware, he's also in another band called Flower which are pretty great as well.
