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.
