Here it is, every single piece of music the band recorded during their original heyday. Every split 7", compilation track, cover song (Weezer, Slayer, Jawbreaker), several never-before-released demos and every full length. You get their debut album on Hydra Head Records, "When Life Hands You Lemons", as well as the Big Wheel Recreation albums, "If It Weren't For Venetian Blinds, It Would Be Curtains For Us All", "The Rock Revolution Will Not Be Televised" and "We Are The Only Friends We Have". This thing is a must have for even the most casual fan of the band, it is just so comprehensive and well done that you can't help but fall in love with Piebald. Hearing a lot of these songs will have you wondering how the fuck this band wasn't all over the radio back in the day. If you only know them for their song "American Hearts", get this and see why they were such a big deal. Rise Records put this out over the last several months, which was a total surprise to me because Rise mainly releases really fucking terrible mall-metal albums (The Devil Wears Prada anyone?). Piebald has always had a great sense of humour, wity lyrics and incredible hooks and they're all present here on these 100 (yes one-fucking-hundred!) tracks.
