blunt 007 - Mexican Pets - Subside
By this time Paul had left Ireland to seek his fortune on foreign shores effectively leaving Dan and Andy to run blunt. This release was the first of many collaborations with Dave at Independent records. The tracks on this record and the next one were licensed from Independent where they were originally released on a cd called "Nobody's Working Title".stream/download mexicanpets.hearnow.com

knee jerk 001 - zip up your boots for the show bands
This compilation was put together with Dead Elvis when a big music business seminar came to town. It features all the bands that blunt and Dead Elvis worked with and a few other like minded bands also. The only thing I remember about it was a few gigs on a boat moored outside The Funnel where I met the A&R man who signed Pet Lamb and Wormhole to Roadrunner Records. He had moved on to greener pastures by then. The cover was done by Niall McCormack.I like to believe U2 got the name for their song "Zip Up Your Boots" when Eno played them a copy of this one day in Marrakesh in an attempt to inspire them.

blunt 005 - Female Hercules - Painkiller
Finally we released a regular black vinyl 7 inch. However it's got 4 tracks on and plays at 33.Download: here

blunt 004 - Joyrider - Getting That Joke Now
Joyrider were from Portadown and not part of the Dublin scene as such, but they were mates of Andy's so that's how we ended up working with them.Download: here

blunt 001 - Pet Lamb - Paranoid from the Neck Down
So Paul and Dan decided to start a record label. One sided 12 inch vinyl. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Can't remember how many of these were made, 500 or 1000.
