Restarts, The
Actively Seeking Work 1996-1998
Actively Seeking Work: 1996-1998 collects the studio recordings of the band from their very inception. It all began with
a DIY cassette tape released in 1996, which was - to the band's pleasant surprise - reproduced around the Czech Republic
and
Poland, translated lyric sheet and all, by Malarie Records. Also included on this LP are the tracks from their debut
7" Frustration and the 1997 EP ...Just Gets Worse, both of which saw vinyl releases through Blind Destruction Records.
The final batch of songs comes from State Rape, which was originally the Restarts' half of a split LP with London's Zero
Tolerance, and was subsequently released on CD as a
split with Holland's Fleas and Lice. Taken together, these recordings chart the early chaotic evolution of the band
as they built the reputation and recognition they now enjoy among the international DIY punk scene. This collection has
been out of print for over ten years after an initial
Europe-only pressing, and Pirates Press Records is thrilled to present its first worldwide release.
