As part of our on-going archival release program, we are pleased to welcome “The Weeds” to our label family. Arising as one of two successor bands to the Ordinary 5, former lead singer Brent Mastel began working with Greg Sochko (lead guitar) on a new project. After recruiting Keefe Russell (bass), Jonathan Chaffee (drums) and Marc Wittenberg (guitar, vocals), the new project was christened “The Weeds.”
As part of this welcome, we are pleased to announce the release of their second EP, the self-titled “The Weeds.” Originally recorded in 2011 and made available in limited release in CD form at their shows, it is now available internationally digitally for the first time on our label site, and later this Spring on the usual plethora of digital download and streaming platforms.
Carrying forth some of the same spirit that infused the Ordinary 5, the band further developed and honed the melodic and lyrical stylings of that band's best work, uniting it with a musical vision that is at once immediate and immensely satisfying.
