mikeytags Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 http://www.fatwreck.com/news/detail/559 Strung Out, LA’s finest in speedy melodic punk mayhem, is one of the hardest working bands of the last 20 years. With a career which has so far produced 7 studio albums, numerous EP’s, a live album and a mind-boggling number of shows, they continue to be a significant staple on the indie punk scene. In celebration of their longevity and with the positive feedback from fans for both 2012’s Twisted in a Suburban Wasteland tour and the remixed songs on Top Contenders, Strung Out decided to finish the job and have Ryan Greene remix all three of their classic 90’s albums in their entirety. This summer will see the release of deluxe reissues of Another Day In Paradise, Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues and Twisted By Design! Three special records that certainly deserve some special treatment, and that’s what will be on offer with these reissues and the all-encompassingVolume One box set, which will include the 3 albums plus a DVD that drummer Jordan Burns details below: We are all pretty stoked on this box set. All 3 albums are sounding so fresh and revived. If we didn’t think you would all love it like we do, we wouldn’t be putting it out. Also the live DVD from our Twisted In A Suburban Wasteland tour last year is going to be sweet. Filmed in Montreal Canada, it will include both STWB and TBD live. I know, our first DVD ever and its looking great! tittus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tittus Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 One of the best shows I went to last year for sure. The Swellers were top notch too. The live DVD is a great bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradedOnACurve Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I do hope the remixing and remastering is like the Lagwagon set. It added depth and boosted the volume but didn't sound radically different. Fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tittus Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 What did you think of Top Contenders? I'd be willing to bet it would be close to that. I cant wait to hear Exile remixed in the future. If any album needs it, it's that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Top Contenders wasn't bad, but I didn't like how the STWB songs were mixed. I like the original mix better. I may pick up an OG copy if I'm not crazy about this. They need to do a Good Riddance set. This as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PostVillasBlues2K Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 What did you think of Top Contenders? I'd be willing to bet it would be close to that. I cant wait to hear Exile remixed in the future. If any album needs it, it's that one. Couldn't agree more with Exile needing some work. The tracks from Agents confused me, though. What was wrong with Cameron's mixes? I love his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troymess Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I liked the OG mixes and master compared to those on Top Contenders. Might try to track the OG pressings down too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I liked the OG mixes and master compared to those on Top Contenders. Might try to track the OG pressings down too same. I hated the Top Contenders mix. I better track down the OG pressings soon. I thought Joey did an awesome job with the Lagwagon remasters, but this is completely different.

saxonviolons Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Will be buying this without even thinking twice. Strung Out is a great band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100resolutions Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Filmed in Montreal! Awesome, I was at this show and it was a great night. The dvd is a nice bonus to the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnywreck Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I actually loved the mix on Top Contenders. Can't wait to hear what the first two sound like. Twisted doesn't really need a reboot, but whatever, I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midwestpunk24 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Pretty sure I'll be getting this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I haven't seen anything that says it will be on vinyl. Is that known yet? (Not interested in speculation, I understand it's reasonable to assume it will be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin8821 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I have the og pressings and I think on vinyl twisted sounds amazing for some reason maybe it's because of the better stereo system my turntable is hooked up to. I'm really looking forward to hearing some of the stwb songs like gearbox remixed and remastered. Anyone think the production on another day in paradise is pretty good? I won a really sweet looking fat classic orange repress of that record from a couple years ago on eBay last summer for $25. I I initially missed the boat on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin8821 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I don't know if it will be on vinyl but on a recent Facebook status from strung out (a few weeks maybe) they asked their fans what format they typically buy their music on or download or something along those lines. Seemed like a lot of support for vinyl so I hope so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Strung Out’s last album, 2009’s Agents of the Underground, was their 7th full length and celebrated the band’s 20th anniversary. A true testament to their relevance and longevity is their ability to organically evolve through the years. Strung Out began their career as a strictly melodic punk band known for their tight musicianship and catchy melodies but evolved into a more aggressive, metal-infused veteran punk band. That is what all of us were most interested in capturing: the true musical journey of one of the founding bands on Fat Wreck Chords. This box set, Volume One, showcases the first three albums: Another Day in Paradise, Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues, and Twisted By Design, all fully remixed by Ryan Greene, helping to display the true power of these songs along with nuances previously unheard. We’ve re-scanned all the artwork from the original pieces and included deluxe foldout inserts with never before seen photos and extensive liner notes from the band. The real gem in this set, in the works for a decade (!!!), is the first-ever Strung Out DVD! You get a full 2012 concert where they performed the Suburban and Twisted albums in their entirety, all professionally filmed and recorded, and that’s just the start. There’s a TON of footage from the ‘90s: shows, tour antics, interviews, behind the scenes stuff; a veritable treasure trove of classic Strung Out. For you vinyl hounds, the LP box set includes The Skinny Years… Before We Got Fat, remastered and on vinyl for the first time ever! (It’s also included in the CD box set, as bonus tracks on the Paradise disc). Finally, we think the box set does a nice job of encapsulating the distinct personality of Jim Cherry’s contribution to Strung Out. Jim is another member of the Fat family who passed way too soon, and as Strung Out vocalist Jason Cruz states in his liner notes to the fans, “This box set is as much for Jim as it is for you.” We hope it serves his legacy and your expectations. http://www.fatwreck.com/news/detail/657 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwgncpr Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 would be nice if they released Skinny Years separately. I'm not a fan of the remastering they did on the last comp, and will probably stick with the original releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Time to sell my colored OG copies . Will easily have enough to purchase this afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
