CHECK OUT OLDEST

So at some point in 2008, Mick Barr, of Krallice/Orthrelm/Crom-Tech fame, teamed up with Brooks Headley, the ex-Born Against drummer is now a world-class pastry chef — and thus Oldest was born. The project has never performed live, but they’ve finally released an album unto the world. The six-song, thirty minute release combines the band’s “first well-produced recording with the second under-produced recording.” Well, at least they’re being honest!

In all seriousness, Oldest is pretty frickin’ awesome. It combines all the craziness we’ve come to expect from Barr with an off-the-rails punkier feel befitting the former drummer for Born Against. (Alas, they didn’t figure out a way to work Headley’s pastry skills into the mix. Oh well. Maybe next time.)

The band is doing a very, very limited run of these CDs — only a hundred made. You can get details on how to purchase one here, and they’re only twelve bucks (thirteen if you’re a stoopid Canadian or fourteen if you’re a dumm Europeein). So, obviously, don’t dilly-dally; go buy one now.
