Okay following Marky's Pop Punk thread. I thought I'd throw together a McRackins Comp of our most bubblegum stuff. There is a few songs on here from all 13 CD releases. Much of it is hard to get now or out of print/sold out. The only one I left out was the Live In Madrid CD. These MP3's are at 320kbps, so it's a big file 150MB.
Enjoy!
A blurb about my band for those who don't know.
The band hailing from Vancouver BC has been in somewhat of a hiatus over the last five years and has emerged with a vengeance. Their debut album, "What Came First?", on Shredder was the band's first ever release in January of '95, and turned out to be a surprise hit from an unknown band. Although many were at first skeptical of Vancouver's strangely costumed McRackins, the band won over critics with their amazing release of 9 great full length albums in just 5 years, including '96s "In On The Yolk" on Shredder, which hit .14 on national college radio airplay in Canada. As if that weren't enough, they've released singles, EP's, and compilation tracks too numerous to mention, totaling over 100,000 in sales all over the world. In November '96 the band made a very successful excursion to Europe, touring 7 countries, and performing some acoustic sessions for the BBC and featured on John Peel. They've gotten rave reviews from everyone from Hit List to NME, and have been lighting up phone lines at radio stations across Canada and the U.S.
The band has continued to gather a cult following around the world since its inception. The McRackins have released so many records from labels around the globe that their discography reads like a rap sheet of a seasoned criminal. The band has also been featured on the following; MTV Europe, Much Music, A Molson Canadian Ad, The Feature Film ?Downhill Willie? 2006 will see the release of "Bat Out Of Shell" the bands first full length studio CD in 5 years.
