Suburban Home is very excited to share with you a new release series
entitled, "Under the Influence". The idea behind "Under the Influence"
is that we will get some of our favorite bands and ask them to record
covers of the songs that have most influenced their songwriting. And
then we will ask them to write about why these songs mean so much to
them in the liner notes. First on the list is Stereotyperider who have
put together an incredible list of songs. We asked them to do 7 songs,
6 of which they picked themselves:
- 1. Pixies - "Where is my mind?"
2. Fugazi - "Styrofoam"
3. Archers of Loaf - "The lowest part is free"
4. Seaweed - "Crush us all"
5. The Cure - "Jumpin' someone else's train"
6. Descendents - "Coolidge"
For the seventh song, we asked Stereotyperider to pick 5 songs that
they would be willing to do and we are asking all of you to vote on
which song you would most like to see Stereotyperider record. Here are
the list of songs to choose from:
- 1. Quicksand - "Lie and wait"
2. Agent Orange - "Everything turns gray"
3. Weezer - "Suzanne"
4. Ned's Atomic Dustbin - "Grey cell green"
5. Helmet - "Give it"
We are asking for everyone to stop by our messageboard and vote on the
song that you would most like to see Stereotyperider do. We will
tabulate the votes during the next two weeks and will announce which
song was voted on the most. After the song has been selected,
Stereotyperider will go into the studio to record what will be an
incredible ep. The ep will be in stores in early March. Don't forget
to check out Stereotyperider's debut album, "Same Chords, Same Songs,
Same Six Strings." Future "Under the Influence" CD eps will be
recorded by such great acts as Planes Mistaken for Stars, Mike Park,
and the Gamits..
