More Ferd Mert.  Odd.  I went from knowing little about this band, and never seeing them play, to finding out a lot about them, and linking to several of their recordings.  I remember seeing this one all over the place in the mid-90’s.  Now you have a change to check it out too.

This one is posted at the One-Sided War blog, which has some great posts, and has become one of my favorite blogs to follow because of the great stuff he posts over there.

Sorry about the lack of posts recently.  It’s been a busy time at work, and my home computer died, which has slowed down my ability to rip some of those old cassettes.  I should resume the cassette archiving in the next couple of weeks.  Until then, I’ll be linking to other stuff periodically, so keep checking in.

Another great post by Strad over on the Lockjaw blog.  Thrash/metal demo from 1989.

SIBD Demo 1991

I really don’t know much about this 3 piece thrash metal band from St. Paul.  It was either given to me because I had a record label, or because of cable access shows I used to do.  I honestly don’t remember why.  If you know something about the band, post it in the comments.

Just found out that one of the members was/is also in Ferd Mert .

SURPRISE YOUR FRIENDS!!
(Split with White Frogs)
2001

Perhaps one of St. Paul’s longest lasting unknown pop punk bands.  I can honestly say that I never saw Ferd Mert play.  I never heard their records.  And I just don’t know much about them at all.

I have heard the name a million times, and they used to advertise like crazy.  They seem to on a million comps.   Somehow, I still have no idea who they are.

Make this your introduction to them.  If you like them, they have a bunch of music available on iTunes, and CD Baby.
