Singles 2

You thought Manipulator was the money album of the year? Think . . . AGAIN! 2014 ain't done yet, and $ingle$ 2 is here. And this time, it's for the money. Two times! As all of the ears that have heard what Ty's been putting out for the past five-ish years already know in their tiny l'il ear-brains, our kid's got any number of places that he's coming from, and putting them all into his rock and roll music is what he's all about! Which is cool. $ingle$ 2 sweeps out the ashes of the breakneck days (and nights!!!!) of 2011-2013, and burns down the house all over again in the process - but not by accident. Sorry…

$ingle$ 2 slinks low and flat-out sprints behind the scenes of the Goodbye Bread - Twins - Sleeper trilogy (no it isn't!), collecting all the now-out-of-print sides that totally work amazingly well together when placed back-to-back-to-back as an album. The super-deadly 'Spiders' single is spun again here in full, along with the epically pop b-sides for 'I Can't Feel It', 'The Hill', and 'Would You Be My Love'. Plus there are tracks for other righteous labels too (yes, Virginia . . . ) like Permanent, Castleface and Famous Class.

Covering The Groundhogs, the Velvets and GG Allin, Ty reps for a good array of punk godheads too. Between the covers and the originals, $ingle$ 2 is also a run through the SF 388 scene circa 2010-2013, with various local heroes like King Riff, Mike Donovan and Ty himself at the board. Sure, there's the knotting up of all the loose ends for the heavy-breathin', AADin' freak-fans - but $ingle$ 2 is really about the rush of getting a single for the a-side and then finding a total sunshine jewel like 'Children of Paul' or 'Mother Lemonade' on the flip. Or a stone-solid jam on a classic, like the COMPLETE retooling of 'Femme Fatale'. Or hear¬ing the Mackay-style sax bleatings of 'Fucked Up Motherfucker', and it fucking YOU up too! Closing the album with the seemingly unlikely ('Music for a Film', for REAL) and the seemingly inevitable ('Pet¬tin the Dog', a mighty hardcore slamming of the lid) cleanses the palate for . . . what? Another spin, probably! $ingle$ 2 has been designed to withstand obsessive flipping.
