There must have been something mighty potent in the water coursing through faucets in Valley Stream, Long Island during the '90s to produce such phenomenal acts as post-hardcore stalwarts Garden Variety, and a little later on, the considerably less anguished
Sleepasaurus. A vigorous punk quartet brandishing those oh-so tempting pop sensibilities, Sleepasaurus were the kind of band that actually benefited from raw, low-budget production, setting them apart from the homogenized Epitaph/Fat Records sound that was painfully dominant at the time. Definitenly more in league with such should've-beens like Man Dingo and Zoinks! Aside from this record, and several split singles (which I may explore later), I don't know a great deal about Sleepasaurus per se, but the link above will take you to their Myspace page.
It's All Written Down... was reissued in 2007, though I didn't realize that until I went to the trouble of ripping this from vinyl. I did so specifically, as it contains a bonus cut, "Low," not available on the aluminum or digital version. In short, I'll be leaving this up for just a few days, so don't wait, but if you enjoy what you hear, please patronize the fellas over at
Motherbox Records online store,
Interpunk, or
elsewhere.
