Longstocking - Singles & Demos: 1994-1998 (2021) [Hi-Res]

A digital keepsake of Longstocking’s early manifestation as a two-piece featuring Kevin Hair on drums and its mid-to-late-era 7” releases, Singles & Demos: 1994—1998 captures a steady development towards the bold studio sound found on the band’s debut album Once Upon A Time Called Now (featuring David Gomez on bass, Sherri Solinger on Drums and Woody Stevenson on guitar and backing vocals). Recorded on 4-track and 8-track in garages and some at DIY studios such as punk rock’s legendary Poop Alley Studio’s, many of singer and guitarist Tamala Poljak’s compositions were written as offerings for friends. A gift for biting lyricism, pop immediacy, and rad rock riffing is already on display.
