 photo Pound_zpsgwzqmhy1.jpg This band is now called "Ethyline". The band started out as a side project from Screeching Weasel, a band that Dan and Brian were in. Later that year, they left S.W. for Sludgeworth. They dropped an EP in 1990, then a full-length album in 1991, but split up in 1992. Dan Schafer went back to a reborn Screeching Weasel, while the rest of the group formed Pound (now called Ethyline), with new singer Matt Bessemer. Ethyline is no longer together, but they were more alternative rock, while when the band was called Pound they were more a punk rock band.

CHOICE - Self Titled - 1991 Thousand Oaks, CA - CHRISTIAN - CCM - BRIMHALL SISTERS

 photo Choice_zpsxylyufqj.jpg Here is a great tape from a gifted trio of sisters called "Choice". Dana, Becky, and Lindy Jo Brimhall made up the group, other than that I cannot find much information about the group, so I will just let their music do the talking! I must say that I am about 99% sure that this was NEVER released on any format, other than cassette tape.

CXQ5 - Self Titled "DEMO" - 1995 Seattle, WA - TIM THOMAS - 29 LIVE

 photo scan0005.jpg
Here is the self titled "Demo" from CXQ5. This is INSANELY-RARE, it was self made by the band in 1995. They later went on and made a couple cds, but this is TAPE ONLY, NEVER PUT ON CD! You won`t find this one anywhere else! I remember hearing the song "CXQ5" on 107.7 KNDD back in 1995. They used to play it on "The Young And The Restless", which was a radio show that played local, up and coming acts. This is killer Power Pop! It features 3 great tracks, "Pioneer Original", "Falling From Grace", and "Tune Up".

DON`T MISS YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO OWN THIS!

SPENCER THE GARDENER - Happiness Comes To My House - 1990 Santa Barbara, CA - POP - LATIN

 photo Spencer The Gardener_zpsijvixnc2.jpg
Here is a cool Latin sounding pop band founded by Spencer Barnitz, who happened to be a gardener. This was their second release, and like their first (Boy With The Two Big Heads) it was ONLY RELEASED ON CASSETTE TAPE.

Spencer and friend Brad Nack formed the band "The Tan" in 1979, and were signed to EMI, then broke up in 1986. This band was totally different than "The Tan", and though they may not have hit major label levels, they have been rockin` for 23 years now, and doing good!

They later left their growing fan base, and moved back to Seattle, where they built another following. KPH plays a cool mix of Emo and Power Pop. This is their second release, a follow up to their first, which was the "Spank" EP. The group later released a third EP titled "Dynomite Split", which was released in 2003. The band has since broken up.
