Sounds pretty good. A Euro-only single-sided 12" is up for pre-order on the label's site.

Interesting. When he says "kid", he actually means kid. In this interview.

The Revelation Records Fun Fact this week pointed out that every "big" band Dave has done begins with a D

DYS
Dag Nasty
Descendents (ok that's a stretch but...)
Down By Law
Don't Sleep

That's not a stretch - it is what I would call WRONG.

Don’t kill the messenger now....

Here’s the fun fact in question

REVHQ FUN FACT
---------------
Dave Smalley is, of course, best known as the one-time vocalist of Washington, DC's Dag Nasty. Through the years, he has been the frontman for numerous bands. Coincidentally, the names of most of these bands start with the letter "D." DYS, Dag Nasty, and Down By Law are all filed under "D." His new band, Don't Sleep, matches both initials. Even his band ALL was once called the Descendents.

We asked Dave to shed light on this fact. Here is what he had to say: "Great eye. Yes, it has been a constant through my career. Not planned, ever, but a really cool and frankly mysterious coincidence. I too thought of that Descendents connection, which was about the time I started to realize the trend. The guys in Don't Sleep definitely were having fun with it. I think that's the only one that's been intentional. I guess it means I can never join Metallica!"

GREG - THE BAND ALL WAS NEVER CALLED THE DESCENDENTS! THE DESCENDENTS BROKE UP AND 3/4 OF THE GROUP STARTED A NEW BAND CALLED ALL!!
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO GO OVER THIS!!!

Scanny is right, Greg

Guys, I didn't write the fun fact.

I wish I worked for Revelation. Would be more fun than what I'm doing now.

(I'm well aware you're joking)


You should see some of the things Rev passes off as "fun facts". Yeesh. This is one of the least ridiculous ones.

I expect better quality control from the digital content editors at Revelation Records. I mean, what are they paying these people to do?

One time an entire fun fact was devoted to the fact that Walter didn't play guitar in the first lineup of Quicksand. Which....I dunno, isn't really a "fun fact" to me.

I didn't actually know that, admittedly, but I've never been a big Quicksand guy.

After recording the 7” they added Charlie( I forget where he was from but later in CIV). First time I saw them was as a five-piece but within a couple of months they were a foursome

The first time I saw them was as a four piece, but Walter was only singing. This was opening up for Anthrax and White Zombie.
