We're a bit embarrassed to have been sitting on this track for a few months. It seems that our summer intern, who was supposed to be in charge of the seemingly always-overflowing CCPS email inbox (write to us at [url=mailto:[email protected]][email protected][/url]! We're standing by! Because, in reality, we don't get that much email, except for notifications of lottery winnings and offers for penis enlargements) turned out to be actually preparing a painstakingly detailed catalogue of craft beers of the Pacific Northwest. For the record, the preparation of said catalogue wasn't the reason for his being fired, it was the lack of sharing of samples of said beers. So, getting things back on track, we're pleased to now present a lost track from one of our surprise favourites from the past couple of years, the quite fantastic [url=https://calgarycassettes.org/artist_detail/the-fricks]Fricks[/url]. "Hundred Jeers" pulls all the elements that caught our attention in the first place. Doug Bolland's melodic bass lines, guitars that remind us just enough of NiCon and some meaty hooks. Andy McLachlan tells us that this track was submitted for consideration on the [url=https://calgarycassettes.org/recording_detail/play-28-tunes-that-say-howdy-various]Play compilation[/url], but the "producers" went with the other submitted track instead, leaving this track to languish, unreleased. But you can give it a home by grabbing it here.
