Auditeers,
People email me off-line a couple of times a month about where one can pick up Splitsville's first album, "USA".
Sadly, this record has long been out of print, but a copy or two pops up now and again on eBay, Half.com, or Amazon. The rare used copy can go for about $10 bucks or so, but new ones usually cost $50 or more.
Ridiculous, of course. And between the band and myself, I don't think we have more than 3 copies.
However, you can now get this CD on iTunes. Originally released in 1996, this lo-fi classic is filled with great music and fun pop culture references.
John M. Borack of Trouser Press wrote of the CD that Splitsville "...goes for pop-punk laughs on its maiden voyage. With song titles like "Come Back to the 5 and Dime, Larry Storch, Larry Storch," "I Was a Teenage Frankenstein" and "Gremlin With Mags," it's pretty evident how seriously this is all meant. Still, Splitsville U.S.A. is often hooky enough — in a Buzzcocks/Redd Kross fashion —to hang in there."
I hope you enjoy it. We expect it to reach the other digital sites like Emusic, AOL, etc. sometime in the near future.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
