The Thing That Always Explodes

by The Thing That Always Explodes

/
  • The Thing That Always Explodes is an energetic post-punk band from Little Rock, Arkansas.

    Listen to a few song clips recorded directly from the 8-track tape here:
    soundcloud.com/dead_media_tapes/the-thing-that-always-explodes-audio-clips-taken-directly-from-8-track

    Originally recorded direct-to-stereo on an Akai 1710w tube reel to reel tape machine at their practice space in 2008. Mixed onto HIFI VHS as a duplication master. Then professionally duplicated and packaged onto 8-tracks. Re-released here in 2019. There is no digital audio step involved on the 8-tracks. All analog recording and transfers.

    8-track tape includes bonus material. Between song banter, false starts and other incidental noises. Tape made after order placed. Due to heavy backlog of orders, may take 6-8 weeks to make and mail out. But hopefully sooner!

    Andy Burns - guitar/vocals
    David Richmond - bass
    Colin Butler - drums
