The Plus One's "On the List" LP Out Nov. 8th
|
It feels like throwback week at Sounds Rad as we bring you yet another reissue, this time of The Plus Ones’ On the List Extended Edition LP. Originally released by Cold Front Records in 2000, this EP featured Joel Reader (Mr. T Experience), Dan Panic (Screeching Weasel), and Scotty Hay (The Receivers) delivering a high-energy mix of punk and power pop. Their fun, infectious sound drops punk pretense and just rocks. AllMusic described it as “innocent punk you could introduce to your mother. As playful as these guys make themselves out to be, Plus Ones are equally catchy and fun-filled.” Now, the band's original vision comes to life with this Expanded Edition, transforming the EP into a full LP with six unreleased tracks. It’s the perfect time capsule into the band’s heyday, featuring standout tracks like “A-M-Y (That Spells Amy),” “You Still Want Me,” and an incredible cover of Badfinger’s “No Matter What.” Don’t miss out on the special sky-blue edition of this LP. Plus, since this record drops the same day as Mr. T Experience’s Miracle of Shame—also released in 2000—we’re offering a special bundle price for those who want to grab both. We’ve got other cool packages too, including T-shirts, pins, and more for both bands. Pre-orders start October 16th, and we’re thrilled to bring this reissue to you, along with Miracle of Shame. Stay tuned—many more exciting reissues are coming in 2025! |
