The Retreads are and were a punk rock'n'roll outfit hailing from the unlikely shitburgh Muncie, Indiana. Formed in December '95 by three dudes named Mike, Matt, and Scottie, the band morphed over the years but has always produced some fun, exciting rock'n'roll and left a decent legacy of electric basement performances and sweaty, stage-rippin' rock outs. They released an EP of material in late '04 called "Muncie Meat," in an extremely limited printing and called it quits. "Highway To Helsinki," the band's last full album of material, was rereleased by the legendary Gulcher Records in '03 and still remains a fine listening experience for those with discerning taste in the punk and rock.
And now, after an absense of over a year, the slumbering beast seems to be waking up, maybe?
Band members Mike, Scottie, Carl, and Jon have reportedly decided to rejoin forces for a one-off opening for the Hellacopters. Could it be? Three of the four had yet to form any new projects (Carl rules it in Phoenix Bodies, and has for way over a minute now), though it must be stated that whatever each ends up doing will probably be fanfuckingtastic. Or utterly terrible, I don't know. Nor do I care. I'm just some scribe doing the job I was hired to do. I gotta say, though, that the Retreads brought (and bring) rock that is pretty damn, uh, rocking. Quality tuneage, quite boss in fact.
Progression is overrated, but regression is even more pointless. Hail, hail the Retreads, the most pointless band in rock that will fuck your eardrums numb...you'll love 'em more than life itself before you know it. Prepare ye dudes and brohams, the mothership has relanded, for a second at least.

I can’t believe you won’t let me add a comment in HTML! I totally wanted to spam you with some dating website or at least the latest herbal Viagra. Bummer!
JK. ;)
Anyway, I just want to network, so if this is junk to you, PLEASE delete this comment. I added you as a friend because I’m out finding musicians who sell CDs at shows, but don’t want to get stuck ordering 1,000 of them in order to turn a profit per CD or just to get a decent-quality product. I produce hi-quality, lo-cost, lo-quantity CDRs for bands and musicians with those needs. Saw your profile, thought it might be a service you could use.
Here’s the raw info: http://www.shortruncdrs.com , $3.00/CD, minimum order is 10 CDs; completely retail-ready-- full-color, shrink-wrapped, etc..
I’m having a one-time-only special expiring April 30th for 25% off. Use the code m1s08 at checkout to redeem.
That’s it. I know how crappy it is to get unsolicited advertisements for junk, so I hope this isn’t junk to you. I don’t want to waste your time, so –sincerely!-- THANK YOU for your time!
