The Remedials "Official" Press Release

For Immediate Release
February 13, 2009



THE REMEDIALS SUPPORT LOCAL COMPILATION CD WITH BENEFIT SHOW

Vancouver, B.C. - The Remedials continue to support VPAF with the Vol. 2 Compilation CD Benefit Show at The Cobalt, located at 917 Main Street on Friday February 27th 2009. The Remedials have previously included a song and played the VPAF Vol. 1 CD Release Show. Tickets for the VPAF Vol. 2 Benefit Show are available at the door and doors open at 9pm.

VPAF Vol. 1 Compilation CD was put together in the summer of 2007 with 25 bands from around Vancouver by Cameron aka Billy Clorox of the band Creeping Hand. With a “Do It Yourself” attitude and the support of many local bands such as Mr. Plow, Alcoholic White Trash and Aging Youth Gang including tracks on the CD, VPAF Vol. 1 was released in October of 2007. The VPAF Compilation CDs are reminiscent of the legendary 1979 Vancouver Complication in capturing the local bands that played around that specific time period. Cameron the mastermind behind VPAF says “There will be a piece of the Van punk scene saved forever for future generations”. VPAF Vol. 1 received great reviews by various publications and gained airplay on multiple college radio stations. The CD is also available in both record stores and skate shops around Vancouver. With the success of Vol.1 allowed VPAF to release Vol. 2 this year with 28 local bands including Bison b.c., The Rebel Spell and The Jolts. There will be a VPAF Vol. 2 CD Release Show later this year once the compilation CD has been completed.

The Remedials will be playing the VPAF Vol. 2 Benefit Show before headliners Raised by Apes with Loose Tooth and Picking On Toddlers. For free listens to their music, visit www.myspace.com/remedials
