Two more Stretch Arm Strong splits!

Here are two more splits featuring Stretch Arm Strong, thanks to Nathan for the rips! Pretty excited to be able to share these splits. Not a fan of Bedlam Hour, but always been a fan of Stretch Arm Strong, therefore, this split of course is necessary to at least have listened to. Apparently, it is before vocalist, Chris, joined Stretch Arm Strong, therefore the bassist, Matt, is doing the vocals on this. Pretty cool to listen to, pretty old as well. This was released under now defunct Koogle Records. This other split is a 7" featured in an issue of the old I Stand Alone zine. I'm pretty much obsessing over this particular vinyl because not only is it Stretch Arm Strong and xDisciplex, but it is the split where Stretch Arm Strong covered a Counting Crows song, leading to a lawsuit. Also what is pretty rad about this particular split, is Mike from Brother's Keeper does guest vocals on both xDisciplex songs. Pretty awesome. Being so awesome, Nathan scanned all the pages for this zine's split release. Thanks again dude.

I Stand Alone: Stretch Arm Strong & xDisciplex split (2000 - I Stand Alone zine)



(For those who never saw this zine, here's some scans below that Nathan included with the rip/artwork)

Stretch Arm Strong



For info on the band, check out their MySpace. Their Rituals of Life record is SO PERFECT in so many ways, still gets played quite frequently by me. One of my favorite records for sure. I only posted these 3 records because: A. Compassion Fills the Void is the earlier of their records that I own, and B. everything I have heard after A Revolution Transmission isn't very good, and the only reason I even posted that record is because a few songs on it are decent at best. If anyone has any rips of their Not Without Resistance and It Burns Clean eps that they can send my way, contact me!

Rituals of Life (1999 - Tooth & Nail Records)
