Set Right Fit To Blow Clean Up

Total Punk

***We are wrapping up the DRAGS REISSUE campaign with the band's final album 'Set Right Fit To Blow Clean Up.' Misunderstood by the garage turkey purist at the time of its 1999 release (yours truly among them) for being too "rawk!" Oh the follies of youth because in retrospect it's The Drags crowning achievement !!! It's crazy what confusion some wah-wah and oscillation could cause the adrenaline fueled brain of a teenage turkey back then!After Stop Rock & Roll Keith Herrera left to be replaced by Ron Skrasek (Scared of Chaka) on drums. Scott Derr of Monoshock was brought on as a second guitarist/ noisemonger and in house engineer for 'Set Right Fit.' RECORDED IN A BARN FOR MAXIMUM FIDELITY!!! The band added some heft to their sound, the tight quick shots got stretched out a bit, some sonic muckery was added, and we even got some drunkenly fried country twang on 'Jet Lag.' Sure their hair might be two inches longer but despite my teenage protestations it still sounds like THE DRAGS!!! AND IT FUCKIN RIPS!!!! Put on your FM SHADES because 2026 is the Year of The Drags and they are finally Set Right Fit to Blow Clean Up!!!10% MORE BARN THAN THE ORIGINAL AND 100% TOTAL PUNK!!limited to 350 copies with art by the legendary Art Chantry.

***Reissue of the second LP from Albuquerque, New Mexico's THE DRAGS. 12 tracks of top of the slop 90's trash punk reissued for the very first time. A bit beefier than the debut but still a completely lo-fi affair. Budget anthems about electricity, explosives, and cannibalism! Without The Drags and this album in particular there would be no TOTAL PUNK!!!! Scrappy, snappy, and 100% TOTAL PUNK!!!!!

***"I stumbled upon the DRAGS Stop Rock and Roll at Wax N Facts in Atlanta way back in 1995. It was my first trip outside the state of Florida as an adult. We were going up to Atlanta to see The Cramps. I knew nothing about THE DRAGS but the cover caught my eye and Johnny B from THE CRUMBS told me I had to buy it. He also handed me the first Back From The Grave that day. THANKS JOHNNY! Later that night I saw and heard Guitar Wolf for the first time!!! It was my first introduction to Estrus, Crypt, and the genre of 'garagepunk.' A pivotal day indeed, and for better or worse, started me on my path into the luxurious life of a dirt broke middle aged label owner. From there on I was buying anything with the Estrus or Crypt logo and scouring the Estrus catalog for more lo-fi trashy tunes. For my money and in all my searching no one did it better than The Drags! Their name should be up there with Teengenerate, Supercharger, and The Mummies! All these years later and I still consistently pull out my Drags records and they sound just as exciting to me now as they did at the age of 18. The songs are razor sharp, never let up, and make you want to throw your body against the wall and shout!!!! "Teenage Invaders are coming and someone's gotta even the score!" Then there is the fantastic...
