Collections post from Arica Pelino today. Just FYI to all the Green Day fans who are awaiting more posts of the band, Arica asked to save that for the end of the project. So stay tuned, but it’s gonna be a bit. Listen to some new bands.
This one was a puzzle. The tape was labeled “black” instead of Pitch Black. So off I went to discogs to try to find a band called “black”. Then tried internet searches “black east bay punk band”, which yielded a bunch of great bands but not the one I was looking for.
Then I figured I would check The List. Jon Luini made a searchable database from the list and it has saved my ass multiple times. I knew The Enemies played the show, and there it was. PITCH Black. And they had a split 7″ w/ The Enemies on Lookout as well.
The mix is not great to start on this one. The guitar comes up in the mix about halfway through, so I could not do too much with it or I would drown the 2nd half of the mix in guitar. I boosted the bass +15db(!) and it didn’t seem to do much. Gotta have the instrument in the mix to fix it, I suppose.
