London based melodic punk label Disconnect Disconnect Records (home to The Decline, Rebuke and Adrenalized amongst others) are to release a 19-song compilation of tracks spanning the career of Brighton’s influential skate punks, Phinius Gage. The tracklisting spans the band’s whole career from 2001 until their initial break up in 2008, with all songs remastered and “sounding better than they ever have before.”
The band played over 500 shows in the UK and Europe during their existence, touring with bands including Streetlight Manifesto, Reuben, Ten Foot Pole, Flood of Red, [spunge], 4ft Fingers and RedLightsFlash. They released two albums on the now defunct Deck Cheese Records, before moving to German label Fond of Life. The band’s final album was 2007’s ‘Seek Out Your Foes’ and came out on UK label Small Town Records. The band broke up in 2008, but reformed in 2015 for reunion shows.
“This compilation brings together all of the band’s most melodic, catchy, 100mph songs, many of which have been out of print for over a decade. The remasters have bought new life to the songs, with the album being completed by two unreleased demos and one rare, non-album track.”
‘Battered & Bruised’ is available for pre-order now.
