GANG GREEN: 25th Anniversary Reissues To Include Bonus Tracks

August 16, 2007

In 2007 GANG GREEN celebrates its silver anniversary: 25 years of drinking, partying and infecting the punk/hardcore scene with their twisted music. The band decided to go on an anniversary tour, starting in Texas and covering the States, Europe and Japan. GANG GREEN also began working on a new album. But today Metal Mind Productions present a re-release of three GANG GREEN albums: "You Got It", "Older… Budweiser" and "Can't Live Without It".

"You Got It", released back in 1987, is still considered to be one of the best offerings by the Boston group, beginning the most fruitful period in their whole career, including songs like "We'll Give It to You" and "Born To Rock", which are always present in GANG GREEN's live repertoire. The album still surprises the listeners with fresh, catchy compositions which to this day remain a genuine party material.

"Older… Budweiser" was a follow-up to the successful "You Got It" LP. The musical style continued to venture towards metal-oriented regions, but still remained true to the band's hardcore/punk roots. The album, released in 1989, featured some of the best tracks in the band's whole career — "We Can Go", "Just One Bullet" and "Bedroom of Doom" are still played on gigs nowadays. Today "Older… Budweiser" hasn't lost anything from its effectiveness, showcasing the band in its best form and contributing to the most fruitful era of GANG GREEN's history. New remastered edition of the album includes bonus tracks taken from the "I81B4U" EP.

"Can't Live Without It" — a recording of a stunning performance the band gave at the Marquee Club in London, UK on February 25, 1990. The set covered all of GANG GREEN's greatest hits, from the classic tracks such as "Rabies" and the extremely popular "Alcohol" to newer material from the albums "You Got It" from 1987 and "Older… Budweiser" from 1989. The lineup featured a new bassist Josh Pappe (ex-D.R.I.),who replaced Joe Gittleman. Overall, the show was an unforgettable experience and showcased all the strongest points of the band's music. You can surely say that this is GANG GREEN at its best! The new remastered edition of the album includes two bonus tracks.

All titles will be made available in a new digipack edition on golden disc, digitally remastered using 24-bit technology, and limited to a hand-numbered 2,000 copies. Release date: September 10 in Europe and on Octber 30 in USA (via MVD).
