THE REMEDIALS RETURN WITH CANADIAN CD RELEASE OF PUNK ROCK CONCOCTION!

Vancouver, B.C. - Local punk trio The Remedials are making their return to the stage in support of the Canadian Release of Punk Rock Concoction Vol. 3 Compilation CD at the legendary Cobalt, located at 917 Main Street in Vancouver on Friday December 12th at 9pm. Tickets are available at the door.

After a vacation from live shows The Remedials are back playing tracks from their new studio album "Drop Outta School". Joining the ranks of local punk bands recorded by Jesse Gander (d.b.s., Black Rice, Ghosthouse) at the Hive Studios, the new effort strengthens The Remedials set list with ten more old school punk rock classics. "We're really stoked to play the new songs most we've never played live! And we love playing the Cobalt and it's always a fun show when we're there!" says Gabe (Vocals/Guitar). The Remedials are making waves this year with songs included in two Vancouver punk rock compilation CDs and songs featured on 99.3 The Fox Punk-O-Rama Show and The Grind Show on PunkRadioCast.com. Their born to lose motto is falling by the wayside as they are now being recognized in Vancouver's punk rock community.

Punk Rock Concoction is aimed at putting together bands' favorite (or best) songs. This is a complete DIY punk effort. The compilation will help listeners open up to new styles, new names, new companies, new record labels and most importantly new bands. The bands and the sponsors fund these projects so that they can give out good music for free. This is about bands working together for the scene. The American release of Punk Rock Concoction Vol. 3 was on October 11, 2008 at Liskfest in Irvine, CA. The Canadian release is December 12, 2008 at The Cobalt and will include songs by local punk rockers Raised By Apes and Cambridge.

The Remedials will be starting the night joined by locals Raised by Apes, Cambridge and Slush from Whistler, BC. For free listens to their music, visit www.myspace.com/remedials
