Word arrives today from the fine (and scrappy) chaps of The Carter Administration that they are dipping into the back catalog and also trying out this whole Internet thing. From an email the band sent out today:
October 2008 marked the 10th anniversary of our scrappy little power trio. We went back into our catalog and re-recorded 8 songs we weren't too happy with the first time around, plus a couple of our favorite covers (songs by Nick Lowe, AC/DC, and the Records, to be specific). A sort of greatest hits, without any actual hits. Having grown tired of filling up our closet space with unsold records, we have decided to jump on the digital release bandwagon full force. So we are proud to announce that starting today, our ten year retrospective, Bomb-Ass Singles: 1998-2008, will be available for free download at amiestreet.com. There will be a limited local physical release at some undetermined point in the future when we can afford it, but for now, it's Internet only.
Additionally, the band has decided to start releasing singles every few months "instead of spending the next year in the studio recording a full length, and listening to our new songs become old songs." The first such single is "Victory Girls" b/w "Bitchery and Abomination," and is also available for download at amiestreet.
