BIG DADDY MULTITUDE RE-RELEASED DIGITALLY | 11.17.10
Big Daddy Multitude has been re-released digitally with 4 tracks from the 1995 "Beer Song" 7" sessions. These 4 tracks were the last tracks the band recorded before signing to Hopeless Records. They feature the "Big Daddy" line up, including the stellar horn section of Mark Petz on sax, Bob Engelsman on trombone and Craig DeYoung on alto sax. Several songs from this session, including the "Beer Song," were re-recorded for the band's breakthrough record "Evildoers Beware," but these original self-produced versions have been unavailable for several years. They represent a moment in the band's career, when Mustard Plug had congealed their own unique sound, taking in influences from Two Tone Ska, Oi, bubble gum pop, and Socal Punk and creating the Mustard Plug sound that fans would know them by for many years to come.

The album remains in print on CD (Hopeless) and Vinyl LP (Asbestos Records)

Available at Itunes, Amazon.com, etc.
