Resol 'Sorry, Out of Ervice' / Sad, sad Cutting Crew

Back in the comfort of North Carolina and the weather is fantastic. And I remember when I was stuck in a Pennsylvania hotel room (of course I remember, it was two days ago) that I promised a double post. Well, I hope this one delivers.

First, Resol's absolutely blaring full-length, Sorry, Out of Ervice. Second, a rip I made a few years ago of a Cutting Crew 45 played at 33 rpm. It's amazing how drunken one can make an already depressing song by slowing it down. It's particularly great upon the lyric, "Must've been something I said."

Anyway, I recovered the language from the original, 2007 UBF post on this Resol recording. Contains some factoids courtesy of Resol's Tom Corbitt. And, evidently, someone in the past requested I post this album, so hopefully it's still in demand. Should be. Thing rocks. Here's the original post:

How could the folks not request another Resol post? With sonic grains of Born Against, Eddy, Unherd and other peers, they splattered Raleigh, N.C., with one of the day's better catalogues, including but not limited to a great split 7" with Greensboro's Blownapart Bastards (search my archives). (Editor's note: I will repost that split at some point.)

I've gone through this before, but a little while back, Resol's Tom Corbitt got up with me and gave me a dish on the locale's incest:
"There's a lot of backstory and cross-pollination on the Raleigh scene back then. Charlie was also in Fragrant Cloud and John was in Stewface. The first incarnation was called Bored Beyond Belief and had a different drummer (we played with Colin Seven, but he hooked up with Tonie [Joy] and started Universal Order of Armageddon). Charlie and John went on to form Dart 360 with Chad from Mold (who was in Gnosis) and on and on."

And I highly advise you read an interview with Tom, in which he recalls Resol's show in Wilmington, N.C., with Silk and some "white funk bands." Really, read it. (Editor's note: the link to the interview is, frustratingly, broken. Any help recovering the interview?)

Here's Resol's Sorry, Out of Ervice with the Cutting Crew spluff at the end.
You'll enjoy.

  1. "Charlie and John went on to form Dart 360 with Chad from Mold (who was in Gnosis) and on and on."
    It was actually Cal from Pollo Rojo who played bass in Dart360, though Cal reports that Chad was at every show and shared the practice space.

  2. And Lee Misenheimer too, who drew Tonka's cover on their first release!

  3. Just to make the circle complete, Sarah, Tom's sister played drums for Pollo Rojo.

  4. I recently found Fragrant Cloud's 7" in the used bin with no liner notes. I think the clerk thought I was pathetic enough that he gave it to more freesies.

  5. I'll post the Fragrant Cloud 7" soon.

  6. I was at that Resol show where they opened for Silk. Absolutely hilarious. People were fleeing from the front of the stage when they started playing.

  7. Don't suppose you have any Dart 360 recordings? I think they had at least on 10" or 12" that I managed to never acquire and would love to hear it now.

  8. The Dart 360 10" is still available I believe through Assorted Porkchops, Chris Murry's label.
