The Washouts were a garage punk band hailing from San Diego and led by singer/songwriter/guitarist, child prodigy - Jeff "Rip" Carson. In 1991, at the precocious age of 11, Rip put together The Washouts with a couple of girls in his 6th grade class who were big Ramones fans. Together they began recording the material written by Rip and represented here amongst the 30 tracks spanning the years 1991-1996.
