Rectify
2008, No Balls Records, Germany
7" split with Adam West b/w Stag Party
Recorded and mixed at Bruce’s Barn Studio by Bruce Falkinburg. This happened during a time when Assrockers, Adam West and Borracho were all at Bruce’s barn recording singles to put on splits with each other. Everyone - including Bruce - was playing and most of us were in two bands.

Círculos Concéntricos
2011, Fandango Records, USA/Ghost Highway Recordings, Spain
Concentric Circles 7" b-side
Recorded and mixed at Airshow Mastering, Takoma Park, MD by Frank Marchand. The night before we recorded this song in English, Frank suggested that we do a version in Spanish. Noah went home that night and with the help of his Argentine wife, translated the whole song. The next day he came in and just sang it in Spanish like that’s how it always was meant to be.
