The second official release from the studio. Recorded by the studio group the Brother-In-Law Band Chester Abbott plays drums, Mark Abbott plays guitar, Josh Miller plays trumpet, John Connelly plays saxophone, Dan Albert plays trombone, and Michael Breen covers bass and vocals on two funky-rocking tunes written by Mark.
The release includes "Piece of My Heart" and "Hate Runs Deep".

I can answer some of the inevitable questions here:
Why only the aiff format? [out of date info; now full-length RA and WAV]
I'm working very hard to get these songs into other formats, like au and wav. Some people have complained about not being able to handle aiff files. Read this for info about how I get from tape to aiff files. Any hints on how to make the extra steps to au and wav are healthily encouraged!
How come these are complete songs?
Because I haven't had time to make short 30-second samples of these songs yet. Soon...
Why should I get the tape when I have complete digitized versions?
Because the digitized versions are mono, and you really want to hear this in stereo. Because you can't play the digitized version in your car (unless you tape it at your end). Because, although they actually sound pretty good, the digitized versions just don't have the bandwidth that a tape can provide.
What!? Only two songs on a tape!?
As I start packaging other releases, I'll start putting short releases like this one together with others, and selling the tapes as collections of release. Same cost, more music. How's that?
