Yes.
Drummer Phil Krauth is now my son's English teacher. They had some tough essays on Crime & Punishment.

He was a hard but fair 11th grade English teacher. A "B" for the year in an IB English class is not bad. I do not know if Mr. Krauth finds any time to drum these days.

actually i'm making the assumption here that hydroplane was an unrest original or am i wrong?

indeed it is

phew! far too good a song to waste on a b-side imo

I jammed the 33-minute "Hydro" the other day, it RULED. Love this band so much, I kinda want to be a completist but it is expen$$$ive.

I totally love their cover of "God Gave Rock and Roll To You". After being blown away by that in the early 90s I picked up Perfect Teeth and never really got into it. But that one cover was amazing.

it is so good, and I wish I could find a lyric sheet because I just hear fragments of pleas and regrets and memories ("I found my mailbox full of you", what a lovely line) and I want to get a better understanding of what's falling apart and how. I think I understand what rock and roll has to do with it though.

Not sure how I never managed to post in this thread. Total classic & much missed.

It was an unexpected thrill to hear them on the radio the other day. The Current played "Make Out Club."
― geoffreyess, Sunday, 7 January 2018 18:31 (six years ago) link
I was listening to the Isabel Bishop EP last night and realized how great the funkier version of "Isabel" is.
― geoffreyess, Sunday, 7 January 2018 18:33 (six years ago) link
Haven't heard the EP is a couple decades but how far from the original with the "Ashley's Roachclip" drum break added is it?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Sunday, 7 January 2018 19:50 (six years ago) link
iirc the EP version is the same as the "Isabel Bishop" 7" - only the version on Imperial is drumless

xp Mike Fellow is no Phil Krauth, but Air Miami are OK. Never clicked with them the same way.

Not to brag but I saw Unrest at Maxwells and The Ropers were the openers...

five years later, the only formal Unrest releases I'm still missing are the "Make Out Club" 7" and the split tape with Dust Devils, but then there are a bunch of impossible-to-find Teenbeat cassette compilations as well.
― sleeve, Monday, 8 January 2018 21:05 (six years ago) link
Were you really finding it expensive at the time? None of my Unrest records are worth that much money. I don't see a lot of interest in Unrest these days in general. I'm wondering if they will be "rediscovered" by p4k or someone and have their classic status affirmed a little more among the general public someday.
― Evan, Monday, 8 January 2018 21:23 (six years ago) link
the really expensive one that I still don't have is the UK LP release of Perfect Teeth, it's like $80 or more
Make Out Club single is > $20 and I just can't justify it since I have all the tracks already afaik
most of this stuff is pretty affordable, I think I had to spend $40-50 on the 1st LP original
― sleeve, Monday, 8 January 2018 21:25 (six years ago) link
This one? https://www.discogs.com/Unrest-Perfect-Teeth/release/1622164

yes, trying to find a copy for sale in the US is very difficult
― sleeve, Monday, 8 January 2018 21:48 (six years ago) link
Based on that marketplace, Germany is hoarding all of them!
― Evan, Monday, 8 January 2018 21:50 (six years ago) link
*raises hand
tbh I bought the Air Miami CD because I saw it 2nd hand for about £2.50 some time in the 90s because of the Unrest connection, listened to it a couple of times but didn't think that much of it. A few years later when I first started talking to my now-wife about music she was a fan (of both bands) and sent me a copy of their demo and got me to listen to the album again, and that time it clicked for me.

me otm 16 years ago about flin flon and ESPECIALLY about panax's "the garden" (from the 2000 teanbeat sampler):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiP1U1DIcMM
when i was a kid in dc the teenbeat stuff felt a lot less cliquish than the dischord post hardcore cool guys and a lot more stylish than the theater dork pukka shell stylings of the dismemberment plan.
