I absolutely love NJ's Banquets and have been talking to Dave Frenson (guitar) about doing a Banquets cassette for quite a while. Now that it's finally coming together we're both really excited and we're doing it together as a Shouting Street / Black Numbers co-release. I have been spinning the band's brilliant 7" "This is Our Concern, Dude" pretty much every day since it came out and with the extremely high quality of pop-punk songwriting that these guys possess, I'm 100% confident that this tape is gonna come out fantastic. Featuring ex-members of Let Me Run, The Stand In, and The Banner, this is one of my favorite bands right now and I'm so proud be working with them. If Banquets are news to you, you really should stop by their site and give 'em a listen.
I asked Dave what band to bring aboard for the B-side and we pretty much decided right away that it was gonna be Oswego, NY's Mayflower. These guys released their debut LP, the splendid "Second Best Sunsets" on Kiss Of Death Records in june last year and I strongly recommend you all to give it a listen here. I'm really happy with our decision to ask these guys to join in.
