TIM RALDO & THE FILTHY FUKS - DESTINATION: PLANET PISS (2011)

TIM RALDO &THE FILTHY FUKS - DESTINATION: PLANET PISS 

TIM RALDO & THE FILTHY FUKS 

DESTINATION: PLANET PISS 7 INCH EP 

2011 BROWN BAG PROPAGANDA/PLASTIC FACT RECORDS PFR-006



AFTER SEVERAL SELF-RELEASED STUDIO RECORDED CD-RS, SAN DIEGO'S TIM RALDO & THE FILTHY FUKS MADE THEIR VINYL DEBUT WITH THIS EP, DESTINATION: PLANET PISS.  IT WAS CO-RELEASED BY ST. LOUIS MISSOURI LABEL BROWN BAG PROPAGANDA  AND PLASTIC FACT RECORDS.  RECORDED, MIXED AND MASTERED AT DEAD RECORDS BY DIRTY OF SAN DIEGO'S  WANTED DEAD, THIS EP FEATURES FOUR ORIGINALS (ONE OF WHICH, 'LIFE OF SIN,'  ALSO APPEARED ON THEIR 2010 FULL LENGTH CD, SLOW DEATH), ALONG WITH A COVER OF FLIPPER'S 'HA HA HA.' THE LACQUERS AND PLATES WERE MADE BY UNITED RECORD PRESSING IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, BUT DUE TO THE USE OF UNLICENSED SAMPLES ON THE RECORDING, THE COMPANY REFUSED TO PRESS THE RECORD.  IRONICALLY, UNITED DIDN'T SEEM TO NOTICE THE FLIPPER COVER.  AFTER SOME PERIOD OF NEGOTIATION AND REASSURANCE THAT UNITED WOULDN'T BE HELD LIABLE IN THE EVENT OF A LAWSUIT, THEY RELEASED THE LACQUERS AND PLATES, WHICH WERE THEN USED TO PRESS THE VINYL AT ANOTHER SMALLER PRESSING PLANT THAT SHALL REMAIN UNNAMED.  (UNITED REMAINS A STANDARD GO-TO FOR VINYL RELEASES ON PLASTIC FACT RECORDS)  IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL TO HAVE THESE PRESSED ON PISS YELLOW VINYL, BUT ALL 500 COPIES WERE PRESSED ON STANDARD BLACK VINYL.  THE TITLE TRACK WAS FEATURED ON THE PLASTIC FACT EATERS VOLUME 2 CD COMPILATION.  (COPIES OF THIS EP ARE STILL AVAILABLE FROM PLASTIC FACT RECORDS FOR $3 PLUS SHIPPING - AROUND $6 TOTAL IN THE U.S., INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING NEEDS TO BE CALCULATED DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION. TO ORDER A COPY, SEND A MESSAGE TO PLASTICFACTRECOREDS-AT-GMAIL.COM WITH YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS. PAYPAL ONLY. SIDENOTE: PLASTIC FACT RECORD'S COPIES ARE THE ONLY COPIES TO HAVE FULL COLOR INSERTS.)  THE AUDIO QUALITY OF THESE FILES ISN'T THE GREATEST, AS THEY WERE RIPPED FROM A VINYL COPY, RATHER THAN TAKEN FROM THE ACTUAL STUDIO MASTERS, WHICH WOPULD HAVE BEEN PREFERRABLE.

DREADED SOLUTION - ALL GOVERNMENTS ARE LIARS AND MURDERERS (2008)

DREADED SOLUTION

DREADED SOLUTION

ALL GOVERNMENTS ARE LIARS AND MURDERERS 

2008 PLASTIC FACT RECORDS PFR-004



FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF THE FIRST THREE TRACK CD-R DEMO AND THE FIRST STUDIO RECORDED EP, WASTELAND OCCUPATION, DREADED SOLUTION CONTINUED TO PLAY SHOWS AROUND SAN DIEGO, AND RETURNED TO AMPERSAND STUDIOS IN SANTEE TO RECORD THREE MORE TRACKS WITH STUDIO OWNER AND ENGINEER KYLE THOMPSON.  ONLY ONE OF THESE TRACKS, ENTITLED SCRATCHED OUT, ENDED UP BEING RELEASED ON THE PLASTIC FACT EATERS VOLUME ONE CD COMPILATION.
THE BAND CONTINUED WRITING AND BUILDING UP THEIR MATERIAL, PLANNING TO EVENTUALLY RETURN TO THE STUDIO TO RECORD A FULL LENGTH.  UNFORTUNATELY, JAROD HAD TO STEP AWAY FROM HIS DRUMMING ROLE TO FOCUS ON HIS OBLIGATIONS OF BEING A NEW FATHER.  SUCH IS LIFE.  LUCKILY, THEY KNEW A GREAT REPLACEMENT, TIM RALDO, VOCALIST OF THE FILTHY FUKS, WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY DRUMMED FOR THE CRACKHEDZ IN THE LATE 1990'S, ALONG WITH PLAYING ON THE EARLY FILTHY FUKS DEMOS.  TIM STEPPED IN AND DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF EASILY LEARNING ALL THE SONGS AND SEAMLESSLY TRANSITIONING INTO THE BAND, ENABLING THEM TO CONTINUE PLAYING SHOWS. TIM STAYED WITH DREADED SOLUTION FOR ROUGHLY A YEAR UNTIL LEAVING TO DIRECT HIS FULL ENERGY BACK INTO HIS ROLE AS FRONT MAN FOR THE FILTHY FUKS (ALTHOUGH THE FILTHY FUKS CONTINUED TO PLAY AND PRODUCE MUSIC THE ENTIRE TIME HE WAS FILLING IN AFTER JAROD LEFT).  
DREADED SOLUTION RECORDED THEIR FIRST AND ONLY FULL LENGTH, ALL GOVERNMENTS ARE LIARS AND MURDERERS, WITH TIM RALDO ON DRUMS.  IT WAS RECORDED BY ROB LOGIC (THE MICE, DEATH CRISIS, HOMELESS SEXUALS) IN HIS SMALL APARTMENT ON UNIVERSITY AVENUE IN NORTH PARK, UPSTAIRS FROM REGGAE WORLD.  ROB HAD RECORDED A LARGE AMOUNT OF SAN DIEGO PUNK AND HARDCORE BANDS, AND WAS KNOWN FOR CHARGING A FAIR PRICE, BEING EASY TO WORK WITH AND FUN TO BE AROUND.  NEARLY EVERY TRACK WAS RECORDED IN ONE TAKE, AND THE ENTIRE COLLECTION OF TRACKS WERE RECORDED AND MIXED IN ABOUT SIX HOURS.  ALL INSTRUMENTS WERE RECORDED LIVE, WITH SECOND GUITAR TRACKS AND VOCALS OVERDUBBED LATER.  WHILE ROB DID THE RECORDING AND MIXING, THE MASTERING WAS DONE BY JEFF FORREST AT DOUBLETIME STUDIOS IN EL CAJON.  IN ADDITION TO THE ELEVEN TRACKS RECORDED FOR THE FULL LENGTH, A COVER OF THE CRACKHEDZ SONG "DIRTY DRUGS" WAS RECORDED, WITH TIM RALDO ON LEAD VOCALS AND IAN ON BACKING VOCALS.  THIS TRACK WAS LATER RELEASED ON THE PLASTIC FACT EATERS VOLUME 2 CD COMPILATION IN 2011.  AFTER TIM RALDO LEFT THE BAND, DREADED SOLUTION RECRUITED DAN STEPPLER FROM ABJECT ON DRUMS, WHO PLAYED WITH THEM FOR AROUND SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR, UNTIL DREADED SOLUTION WERE FINALLY DECOMISSIONED.  BOTH MARC AND IAN NOW MADE UP ONE HALF OF THE BAND BLOOD STAINED REALITY, WHICH WAS GAINING MOMENTUM AND REQUIRING MORE TIME AND ENERGY. (R.I.P. DREADED SOLUTION)  DREADED SOLUTION REUNITED WITH ORIGINAL DRUMMER JAROD FOR ONE SHOW IN 2011 WHEN THE PLASTIC FACT EATERS VOLUME 2 COMPILATION WAS RELEASED.
THE FINAL PRODUCT OF THIS RECORDING SESSION WAS INITIALLY RELEASED ON A FACTORY-MADE, LASER-PRINTED CD-R IN A LIMITED RUN OF 100 IN EARLY 2008, AND LATER PRESSED ON 500 COPIES OF 12 INCH VINYL, WITH 100 LIMITED EDITION PHOTO-COPIED PAPER COVERS FEATURING THE STATUE OF LIBERTY IN A HOSPITAL GOWN AND AN I.V., AND 200 PAPER PHOTO-COPIED COVERS WITH A PICTURE OF THE CAPITOL BUILIDNG AND A ZOMBIE REDNECK SITTING IN A RECLINER HOLDING A BEER AND A REMOTE CONTROL.  ALL 300 LPS THAT HAD COVERS CAME WITH AN INSERT WITH LYRICS. 200 MORE COPIES CURRENTLY HAVE NO COVERS OR INSERTS AND ARE IN STORAGE.  MAYBE SOME DAY THEY WILL BECOME AVAILABLE.  THE ARTWORK ABOVE IS FROM THE CD-R EDITION. SINCE ALL THE CD-R COPIES ARE GONE AND THE FINAL 200 VINYL LPS ARE UNAVAILABLE, HERE IS THE RELEASE IN DIGITAL FORMAT, FOR THE MASSES, FOR FREE.  (A LIMITED NUMBER OF VINYL COPIES ARE AVAILABLE FOR $7 PLUS SHIPPING, OR ABOUT $10 TOTAL IN THE U.S., INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING COSTS WOULD NEED TO BE CALCULATED DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION.  PAYPAL ONLY.  TO ORDER, DEND YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS TO PLASTICFACTRECORDS-AT-GMAIL.COM) ENJOY.

DREADED SOLUTION - WASTELAND OCCUPATION (2005)

DREADED SOLUTION

WASTELAND OCCUPATION CD-R EP

2005 PLASTIC FACT RECORDS PFR-002




DREADED SOLUTION BEGAN IN LATE 2003 IN EAST SAN DIEGO COUNTY WITH A FEW JAMS BETWEEN IAN PLASTIC (AKA Jesus-id) ON GUITAR AND JAROD SUXXX ON DRUMS, IN JAROD'S PARENTS' SIZEABLE, UNCLUTTERED GARAGE.  FUELED BY ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINKS AND CIGARETTES, IT WAS MAINLY INSTRUMENTAL IMPROV JAMS OF NOISY PUNK RIFFS AND SOME RANDOM COVERS OF STUFF LIKE SWINGIN' UTTERS AND CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL.  THE TWO HAD KNOWN EACH OTHER SINCE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. THEY HAD ALREADY PLAYED TOGETHER IN A SHORT-LIVED BAND CALLED THE BOMB SHELTER KIDS, AROUND SPRING BREAK OF THE YEAR 2000, WHEN IAN JOINED ON SECOND GUITAR, WHILE JAROD WAS ALREADY IN THE BAND PLAYING BASS.
IN EARLY 2004 MARC MOTHERFUKKER, WHO ATTENDED THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL AS IAN, WAS TENATIVELY ADDED ON BASS.  MARC WAS ALREADY ACTIVE  IN THE LOCAL MUSIC SCENE PREVIOUSLY, IN THE PUNK BAND FUCKOS.  WHEN JAROD AND IAN STARTED THE NEW PROJECT, MARC WAS THE  BASSIST IN THE EAST SAN DIEGO COUNTY SCUM PUNK PARTY BAND TIM RALDO AND THE FILTHY FUKS. JAROD APPROACHED MARC AT A SHOW, MOST LIKELY AT THE SMOKEY LA MESA DIVE BAR JOE 'N ANDY'S, AND SAID, "WE'RE GONNA STEAL YOU."
THE TRIO BEGAN ASSEMBLING A SET OF ORIGINAL SONGS AND REHEARSING AT IAN'S PARENT'S HOUSE IN EL CAJON IN THE CRAMPED, HOT GARAGE, TO THE DISMAY OF THE NEIGHBORS.  NO NOISE COMPLAINTS WERE EVER FILED AND NO POLICE EVER SHOWED UP AS FAR AS MEMORY SERVES.
AFTER WRITING AND PRACTICING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THE TRIO FINALLY SETTLED ON THE NAME DREADED SOLUTION, BECAUSE IT WAS UNIQUE ENOUGH NOT TO BE IN USE BY ANY OTHER BANDS, AND INVOKED AN OMINOUS VIBE OF SOME IMPENDING THREAT, ALTHOUGH IT ALSO MADE SOME PEOPLE MAKE AN ASSOCIATION TO REGGAE AND RASTAFARIANISM (DREADS), DESPITE THE BAND HAVING ABSOLUTELY NO REGGAE OR SKA CHARACTERISTICS OR INFLUENCES.
DREADED SOLUTION EVENTUALLY RECORDED A THREE SONG DEMO ON A DIGITAL FOUR TRACK RECORDER WITH THE HELP OF THE FILTHY FUKS GUITARIST JOEY IDOL IN A TINY WALK IN CLOSET IN JOEY'S APARTMENT.  THESE SONGS WERE BURNED TO APPROXOMATELY 100 CD-R'S AND DISTRIBUTED WITH A XEROXED FOLD-OVER INSERT IN A SLIM JEWEL CASE FOR FREE AT SHOWS.  (FUN FACT: THE PLASTIC FACT RECORDS LOGO WAS TAKEN FROM THE COVER ARTWORK OF THIS DEMO CD-R)  DREADED SOLUTION BEGAN PLAYING SHOWS AROUND SAN DIEGO FAIRLY REGULARLY BEGINNING ON JUNE 6TH, 2004, AT A BIRTHDAY SHOW FOR FRIEND JEREMY GRIFFIN (B.G. JOHNSON) OF THE BAND THE CRACKHEDZ.  THE SHOW WAS HELD AT JOE 'N ANDY'S WITH TIM RALDO AND THE FILTHY FUKS HEADLINING, AND COINCIDENTALLY, WAS THE SAME DAY THAT PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN DIED.  IN MAY, 2005, THE FIRST STUDIO EP WAS COMPLETED AT AMPERSAND STUDIOS IN SANTEE. RECORDED, MIXED AND MASTERED BY STUDIO OWNER KYLE THOMPSON.  THE WASTELAND OCCUPATION EP WAS A DIY RELEASE BURNED ON CD-RS WITH PHOTOCOPIED CD LABELS AND FOUR-PANEL SQUARE FOLD-OUT INSERT WITH ARTWORK ON ONE SIDE AND HAND-WRITTEN LYRICS ON THE OTHER, PRINTED ON GLOSS PAPER IN A JEWEL CASE.  IT WAS LIMITED TO 200 COPIES AND SOLD FOR $5 AT SHOWS.  THE EP WAS RELEASED PRIOR TO THE LAUNCH OF THE DIY ART PROJECT THAT IS PLASTIC FACT RECORDS AND WAS RETROACTIVELY ASSIGNED A CATALOG NUMBER, WHICH IS WHY IT IS PFR-002, DESPITE IT BEING RELEASED IN 2005, WHILE BLOOD STAINED REALITY'S NAZI SCUM BURN IN HELL 7" VINYL EP WAS RELEASED IN 2007 WITH THE CATALOG NUMBER PFR-001. THERE ARE A SMALL AMOUNT OF COPIES OF THIS AVAILABLE FOR $3 PLUS SHIPPING, ABOUT $6 TOTAL IN THE U.S.  INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING WOULD NEED TO BE CALCULATED DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION.  PAYPAL ONLY.  TO ORDER, SEND YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS TO PLASTICFACTRECORDS-AT-GMAIL.COM.

BLOOD STAINED REALITY - NAZI SCUM BURN IN HELL (2007)

BLOOD STAINED REALITY - NAZI SCUM BURN IN HELL 

BLOOD STAINED REALITY - NAZI SCUM BURN IN HELL 7 INCH EP

2007 PLASTIC FACT RECORDS PFR-007


THERE WAS ORIGINALLY A LENGTHY ARTICLE POSTED HERE ABOUT THE FORMATION OF BSR AND WHAT LEAD UP TO THE RELEASE OF THIS EP, BUT IT ACCIDENTALLY GOT ERASED.  SO HERE'S THE SHORT VERSION.
BLOOD STAINED REALITY FORMED WHEN MACHINE'S AGENDA BROKE UP, AT THAT POINT THE LINE UP OF MACHINE'S AGENDA WAS HEATHER ON VOCALS, ZANE ON GUITAR, MARC ON BASS AND CARLOS ON DRUMS.  HEATHER MOVED TO OAKLAND AND LATER FORMED ABRUPT.  ERIK CAME INTO THE PICTURE AND TOOK ON THE ROLE OF LEAD VOCALS, AND BLOOD STAINED REALITY WAS BORN.  SOME SONGS WERE WRITTEN AND PRACTICED, BUT THE BAND NEVER MADE IT OUT OF THE REHEARSAL SPACE BEFORE ZANE LEFT OVER CREATIVE DIFFERENCES.  HE ENDED UP JOINING NUCLEAR TOMORROW, WHICH SUITED HIM BETTER AND WERE A GREAT PUNK BAND IN THEIR OWN RIGHT.  IAN FROM DREADED SOLUTION REPLACED ZANE ON GUITAR. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TEMPORARY BUT ENDED UP BEING PERMANENT.  THERE WAS A 3 SONG DEMO THAT WAS RECORDED, AND SOME LOCAL SHOWS WERE PLAYED.  A QUICK WEST COAST TOUR WAS BOOKED WITH THE SAN DIEGO ANARCHO SKA PUNK QUARTET ABJECT.  THE ORIGINAL POST DETAILED THAT TRIP, BUT THOSE DETAILS WILL BE LEFT OUT IN THIS POST.  PERHAPS THE STORY OF THAT TRIP WILL BE RETOLD AT SOME LATER POINT, PERHAPS NOT.  BLOOD STAINED REALITY GATHERED TOGETHER ANOTHER DEMO CD-R, THIS TIME WITH FOUR SONGS, WITH A PHOTOCOPIED COVER AND PUT INTO ZIPLOCK SANDWICH BAGS, TITLED "WEST COAST ASSAULT TOUR SAMPLER." THEY WERE SOLD FOR ONE DOLLAR AND/OR GIVEN AWAY, AND ONLY 75 COPIES WERE MADE.  THAT SOMEHOW ENDED UP WITH THE CATALOG NUMBER PFR-003 ON PLASTIC FACT RECORDS, DESPITE IT BEING PREDATED BY BOTH THIS EP, NAZI SCUM BURN IN HELL (PFR-001), AS WELL ASDREADED SOLUTION'S WASTELAND OCCUPATION EP (PFR-002, WHICH WAS RELEASED EVEN BEFORE THE NAZI SCUM EP. IT'S MARC'S FAULT.)  CATALOG NUMBER CHRONOLOGY WAS NEVER PLASTIC FACT RECORDS' STRONG SUIT.  UPON RETURING FROM THE TOUR, BSR WENT TO ROB LOGIC'S APARTMENT ABOVE THE REGGAE WORLD STORE IN NORTH PARK ON UNIVERSITY AVENUE AND RECORDED ELEVEN OR TWELVE TRACKS, INCLUDING A COVER OF "STRAIGHT JACKET" BY JERRY'S KIDS.  SIX OF THOSE TRACKS WOULD END UP ON THIS EP.  THE FINAL DIGITAL RECORDING WAS MASTERED BY JEFF FORREST AT DOUBLE TIME STUDIOS.  THE LACQUERS WERE CUT AT PRAIRIE CAT MASTERING, AND THE PRESSING WAS DONE AT UNITED RECORD PRESSING IN NASHVILLE.  THIS WOULD BE THE TYPICAL PRODUCTION PROCESS FOR MOST OF THE VINYL RELEASES ON PLASTIC FACT RECORDS.

1. ARE YOU KIDDING?
2. MASSACRE
