The Remedials Record Report Cards

Hey kids! The Remedials have received a few Report Cards in the mail! Instead of putting them up on the fridge for no one to see they’ll just post them in a blog for all to see. The Remedials always wanna hear what anyone has to say about their music especially in print since they are press whores! The Remedials think you should pick up one or two of their CDs or even two or three of the same one because they say so! But as LeVar Burton from Reading Rainbow would say “Of course, you don't have to take ‘my’ word for it.”

Remedial Record Report Card Number One:
Mongrel Zine #5 May 2009

"THE REMEDIALS"
Drop Outta School
Self-released CD 2007
www.theremedials.net

No frills, dopey & drunk street punk. Sounds like it crept out of the same boozecan as B.C punks of yore A.K.O.B. and The Spores. This release is from 2007 but the Remedials are belting ‘em down & out now in 2009! Remedial frontman Gabe told me that Mongrel Zine is like Vancouver’s MAXIMUMROCKNROLL. I beg to differ, but for the sake of argument: if that is the case, then they are Vancouver’s Flipside. Being no stranger to crusty boozecans in the past, I liked it! My favorite track was “Succubus”. (Bob Scott)

Remedial Record Report Card Number Two:
Punk Rock, Hardcore And Ska Music Resource N Review / Monday, May 11, 2009

the remedials-songs for the a.d.d.generation

the remedials play a brand of punk rock that pops and sticks.their album"songs for the a.d.d. generation"is full of songs that happen in everyday life from getting crabs on the song coviently titled"crabs"to your occasional creepy stalker on"remote view"to absolutley ridiculous songs like"cyborg"about a grandmother that gets her parts changed all the time to become the ultimate cyborg, the song"the binge tour"boasts and reeks alcoholism and the vocal arrangement on this one sounds more like the lead singer of jughead's revenge.a great pop-punk record for fans of it's title"songs for the a.d.d. generation".best songs in my opinion would have to be"remote view","marilyn monroe" and last but not least"train hoppin"how punk rock is that?,VERY!

Remedial Record Report Card Number Three:
Punk Rock, Hardcore And Ska Music Resource N Review / Wednesday, May 20, 2009

the remedials-drop outta school

another pop-punk classic waiting to happen by canadian's the remedials,i don't know why they aren't already signed to the same label's as the queers or screeching weasel by now cause they sure as fuck should be,i'm hearing some nofx influence on this album especially on songs like"close enough for a punk rock band"and then very fast as fuck songs like"bloody snot"similiar to screeching weasel's song"i don't give a fuck about nicaragua"and just about any jughead's revenge song,"date rape"sounds more like a g.g.allin song then a remedials original.i'm appauled by that song cause rape is obviously wrong and i cannot stand music that pushes it.i mean come on guys what about the victims here?,that was totally out of what i am used to with them,maybe they needed a little shock value to show people they just don't write about break-up's.i like that the music was fast but it was hard to concentrate on because of the lyrics being so very appauling and shocking to hear.so maybe that's the reason they're not signed to the queers labels or screeching weasel cause they push the envelope with things but so did the queers and screeching weasel but not the way g.g. and the remedials did.mostly another amazing album done by punkster's the remedials except that song"date rape"

Thank you to Punk Rock Beth for reviewing both of The Remedials studio releases! They cannot disagree with her comments at all in regards to certain song featured as there is clearly no redeeming quality for it whatsoever. They have no excuses and will totally admit that song crossed way too many lines to even count and subsequently will never, ever, ever be played by The Remedials ever again! Hey, even the guy who wrote the song isn’t even in the band anymore if that’s any consolation! Probably not so much. Needless to say that song went over like a lead balloon with the judges at Shindig as well. But, The Remedials have grown up and moved on and everyone should look forward to their next album in 2009 which will feature a more kinder and gentler Remedials…
