Two bands will also release a 7″ with both covering one other.
AmRep is also preparing 13-record Sugar Daddy Splits series. In their own words:
The 13 record Sugar Daddy Splits series is the Melvins tracks from their Ipecac “Sugar Daddy” CD combined with bands they love from past, present, and future. Okay, maybe not future. Starting it off, COWS and the U-MEN!!! Pressing sizes will be a lot larger than recent projects, and way more affordable. But still slick as %$#@ Let the stupid questions that would’ve already been answered had some one bothered to read this far – BEGIN!
