The Remedials Sell Out

Original Post Date: Friday, January 20, 2006

After hearing "When can I get your guys CD already!" for the gazillionth time, The Remedials will finally have CDs for sale! Not waiting to get a distro deal or pay to get our CDs pressed, Remedial Records has now been formed! Armed with a flawed business plan and even less experience or business savvy, we'll make our own CDs dammit! For the less than the price of bus fare (yes, only one-zone) you can grab a copy (and we're using that term literally kids) of our CD and for those who are still like so how much? They're gonna be $2 each for a CD you can always grab a shirt too for $10; we know your thinkin' how do you guys make any money selling your merch at that price? You know what we don't! Keeping with the whole D.I.Y. attitude every shirt was silk-screened and ironed by The Remedials (just ask Lionel, he'll tell ya all about it) and every CD will be autographed (we were gonna sell them for $5 which is like a three-zone fare, but since its signed by us thus depreciating the value to a one-zone fare) by one of The Remedials so collect them all! They will also be available in two flavors, the "Only Vampires Suck More" with the Vampire on the cover and the limited edition (Only 25 on the whole planet!) "Even Zombies Are Smarter" with the Zombie on the cover. Not only that but hidden in one of the CDs will be a coupon ya can redeem for a free Remedials Shirt!!! How cool is that you get an autographed CD and a possible free Shirt for a toonie! Ya better get in on this action before The Remedials get wise to the idea that this really isn't a good idea, but chances are they'll never clue in come on they're The Remedials!

For all of you who keep asking about the events that occurred on The Remedials New Years Eve set all will be revealed soon enough. Between the three of us we should be able to give an accurate account of all the anarchy. The Remedials will confirm a few details: Yes, The Candy Bar bartender did give The Remedials free shots of Southern Comfort, he also did get kicked in the balls and punched in the face (yeah, things did kinda get outta hand) and at the end of the night took his shirt off, much to the discontent of everyone who attended. That's about all we'll tell ya for now there's plenty more were that came from though so stick around for all the gory details.

Remedial Records our motto: "Music By Mistake!" and "Suck In Stereo!"
