The Phantom Surfers - Istanbul. Lookout Records 7". Lookout 156.

I don't know who made the decision to sign The Phantom Surfers (and, indeed, The Go-Nuts) to Lookout, but it was a fairly strange one. I suppose there was all that filthy sell-out lucre they'd earned on the backs of Green Day or The Offspring to get through. I can't imagine they sold that many records despite seeming to spend quite a bit on the releases (their first Lookout LP had a Jack Davis cover!). Anyhow, Larry Livermore's losses are our gain. Here's the cover of a track by The Renegades (Istanbul) and a Phantom Surfers original (Tokyo Twist). Enjoy.

The Queers - Too Dumb To Quit. Selfless Records EP. Selfless 27.

Straight outta Portsmouth, New Hampshire, it's the questionably named ("Supposedly, the name 'Queers' was used simply to poke fun at what he called the "Art Fag" community in New Hampshire," says their wiki) Queers. It's the usual brand of dumb-ass, play it loud with a smile on your face pop punk you'd associate with a band strongly associated with Sell Out, ooops, Lookout! Records (had a Maximum Rocknroll flashback moment there, sorry). Enjoy.
