BLASTING TROUT OVERBITE
I NEVER LEAVE EP
the first blasting trout
overbite release!
named for a song that
we wrote lyrics for but never recorded,
"i never leave" set the precedent for our releases to come. it was
(and is)
concise, spontaneous, somewhat offensive, sloppy, and poorly recorded.
01
death holocaust hitler racism sexism bad hamburger
we kept cracking up while recording this song, so to get ourselves
in a more
serious mood we started listing things that aren't funny at all. it was going
well
until plasket said "bad hamburger," at which point we all started
laughing again.
it turns out bad hamburger is quite the opposite of not funny!
02
justin norton
true story! we saw a guy one day (whose name was justin) who looked a lot
like edward
norton, so we wrote a song about him. later it turned out our friend cassie
knew him, and
then she played him our song! we were really embarassed. we never actually
wanted to
talk to the guy!
03
hats and rabbits
one of our earliest songs. back then we were still obsessed with novelty things
like singing the second chorus backwards. luckily we eventually moved on to
much more mature concepts like covering an entire album by counting crows.
04
raped by an angel
DISCLAIMER:
this song involves the use of the word "faggot"
and will most likely offend you. it was not written
by
a member of the band and should NOT be listened to by someone new to the world
of BTO,
as it is not representative of what we think is funny or acceptable. it is
included here merely for
completists, and as a potentially interesting historical artifact. for those
of you who absolutely
must know, the song was intended as an experiment as to the effects of catchy
melodies on
offensive material. as you can probably guess, the material stays very, very
offensive.
05
there's nothing out there
also named after (and about) a movie of the same name. this one we've
actually seen.
awesomely enough, the director of said film has heard our song and was (surprisingly)
honored!
lineup: plasket, matt,
dan, arthur
featuring dave, cassie and ana
