Here another fab garageband "The M-80's" with a lost record.
This album was recorded in 1992 and just released in 2013. A 13 song recording remastered from cassette.
The M-80's were a young viceral garage-punk band from Norfolk, Virginia. In 1987, as a slap in the face to the hair metal bands of the era, Eddie Pierce (vocals, harmonica, and maracas), Witt Drawls (guitar), Rob Katherman (bass), and Rusty Floyd (drums) pulled deep from old punk-rock playing music of the MC5, The Stooges, and even deeper to underground 60's bands like Q65, The Gants, and The Pretty Things. The boys also began writing their own music inspired by these groups and released 3 7” records “That Ain't All”/”Sweet Mr. Brown”(Criminal Records), “You've Been Told”/”What I'm After”(Get Hip) and a full length record titled In A Fury (Get Hip Records) in the can by 1991…
…In 1993, The M-80's-In A Fury CD was finally seeing the light of day from Get Hip Records. Also 7” “Seeing Things/”Split”/”Bad Woman”(Estrus Records), The M-80's-Self Titled CD, and the inclusion of “57 Nomad” on The Estrus Gear Box were all being released. So the band decided to change their name from The Stepping Stones back to The M-80s with Eddie Pierce (vocals, harmonica, maracas), Gary Roadarmel (guitar), Johnny Cassidy (bass), and Rusty Floyd (drums). They then hit the road in support of these releases, as well as showcasing their new material. The guys played all over the east side of the country from Michigan to Florida getting tighter, kickin' ass and blowin' shit up!
During this time period, the group went into Mid-Ease Studios with Randy Kling in Norfolk, VA and recorded a brand new M-80's record. A 7” was released from this, “Slit My Wrist”/”Hell's Kitchen” (Dionysus Records), but the rest of this record sat dormant for 21 years as the group disbanded moving to different parts of the world.
Recently, a video was posted to YouTube that the M-80's did for local TV with this lineup containing two songs from that shelved record. “Just Like Ms. Taylor” and “Love Don't Like You” were the tracks used. This sparked Gary Roadarmel to pull out his old cassette of the board mix and remaster it digitally in his studio (Boogalee Studio) in Louisiana. Gary has been in close contact with Johnny Cassidy, who now resides in Utah on releasing this long lost record to the public.
The M-80's - Love Don't Like You is a 13 song recording remastered from cassette. It is being released to CD and digital download from Parish Records in Ponchatoula, LA to the world on December 10th, 2013. No touring or reunions are being planned. Love Don't Like You is just a little time capsule of a damn good rock and roll band. -Source
