Its that time again! Time for me to release an out of print record from one of my old bands for you to download. This time its GOODFELLAS, one of the lesser known groups I was part of. We hailed from Oakland, CA. for about two and a half years during 1995- 1998. During the lifetime of the band, we recorded one full length LP and one 7″ EP. Personally, I don’t mind if the LP is lost to time and remains hidden, but I’m still pretty happy with the “E.B.S.R.” EP we did. Its really when the band was coming into a sound and direction that I preferred. Friends of ours in other bands, such as Screw 32 and A.F.I., were calling their style of punk rock E.B.H.C. for East Bay Hard Core. So, being the cheeky skate punks that we were, we decided to call our style of punk rock E.B.S.R. for East Bay Skate Rock.

The first lineup for GOODFELLAS was Shawn Chatelain on guitar, Will Thompson on bass, Tom Landon on guitar, Jude Ramirez on drums, and I did vocals. By the time we recorded “E.B.S.R.”, Brian Hood had replaced Tom on guitar. Soon after that recording, Will left the band and I played bass as well as did vocals for the remainder of the band’s existence.

Although, this wasn’t one of the more successful bands I was in, I miss this time incredibly as well as all the guys in the band. Unfortunately, I’ve lost contact with a few of them and I only get to see the others on very rare occasions.

Enough rambling. Here’s the GOODFELLAS “E.B.S.R.” EP…
