One (or Two) For The Weekend: The Stoics

San Antonio's Stoics released their sneering garage punk double-sider on Brams in 1967, recently reissued by Okto-Bone Rekkids. 

Here's the scoop from Okto-Bone Rekkids...

The Stoics from San Antonio, TX shouldn't require much introduction; since their sole 1967 single was first comped in the early 80s, both sides have been held in VERY high regard, not just for the quality of the songs and musicianship but also its extreme rarity (I read that only 150 copies were pressed—can anyone verify?). It's also quite well established that the original pressing suffers from poor quality, so it gives us great pleasure to disclose that this new issue has been taken from the original masters and sounds MONSTROUS, benefitting from a fresh remaster courtesy of noted historian, Alec Palao! This new 45 also represents the ONLY official 7" reissue in more than 50 years; forget the AWFUL Garage Greats bootleg—this is the real deal!

Brand new limited edition vinyl 7" + insert—only 700 copies pressed! Currently less than 40 copies remaining from the reissue pressing. Get a copy via Bandcamp right here. Listen below.
