Love to see no motiv love. Most underrated vagrant band?? Maybe. Maybe not. But they are sooo good live. Throw in some hot rod circuit and I would die.
Vagrant had so many fucking underrated bands it’s ridiculous. No Motiv, Koufax, Moneen, Hot Rod Circuit... Mmmf.
I remember when the Wherehouse Music (formerly Blockbuster Music) went out of business near me in like 2002 or 2003. I bought every cd I could find with Vagrant on it. Pretty much all the bands you mentioned for like 90 percent off. Good times.
The good ol' days... Drive Thru and Vagrant were labels I had complete faith in back in the day. I'd get all of their comps, as well as Fat Wreck and Epitaph. But really, if there was a free compilation from any label, I'd usually take one.
Right there with ya. I’d hop on the Vagrant and Drive Thru websites every day after high school to see if there was a new E-Card or anything with a new band or record on the way. Then one day I found ap.net through the links page on Allister’s site and like 18 years later here I am.
Did anyone see the Thrice boxset announcement at the bottom of Vagrant's website? Is it an Alchemy Index repressing?
Matt's podcast Nothing To Write Home About was the first podcast I used to listen to and I loved it, so it will be nice to get something new. Especially seeing that Vagrant used to deal with many artists I grew to like so much!
I cannot emphasize enough how much the first two Atticus comps influenced me as a young teenager. It makes me happy to see that I'm not the only one.
Well yeah I also loved those comps, felt like home hahh, I think it was my introduction to some different genres too.
Oh absolutely. The first Atticus comp is one of those albums that I remember exactly where I was and what I was up to the first time I played it. Probably the best $4.99 I ever spent. Also, it’s perfect for this time of year as is starts to feel Summery. I don’t think I have a CD player anymore but I will damn sure be blasting an Atticus playlist this weekend.
