Pit of SHAME

Come again soon ... always new rejects!

Ha Ha Hoagarth

Ha Ha Hoagarth was one of the first bands we ever rejected way back in '87. One spin and it went down like the Titanic. One reason might have been that they had no skinny blondes. Or good tunes.

The Scumbags

This is the first band Wes Bay brought to us. When he told us the name of the record was "American Nipple Clamps", we thought he was crazy. When he said the band was called "Scumbags" we laughed in his face. When we played the demo, we hired Wes on the spot. We still can't believe anyone would have the balls to bring us shit like this.

Snot

At this point we were really begining to question the wisdom of hiring Wes. This band was worse than the last, and we almost fired him. It was then we realised he hadn't been listening to the band's demo tapes... He'd been basing his opinion on the "receptivity" of the band members girlfriends. Once we explained to him that we needed good music too, he became one of our best A&R men.

Weebos

So ... a while later Wes comes in with "Carpet men from the planet Weebo". One of the guys in shipping is still laughing about the cover. Turns out Wes also needed drug rehab. He's much better now. This band, however, will stink forever.

Spaz

We thought Wes was back on the sauce 'till we played the tape. This was one of the best punk bands we've ever heard. But one day, while recording their first album with us, the singer found out what "knob" Wes was showing his girlfriend how to use in the control room. He kicked the snot out of Wes, and stole his car. We haven't seen them since.

Sofatones

Wes had nothing to do with these guys at all. They used to clean the washrooms and the coffee lounge on the second floor. They left the CD in the weekly listening pile... It was so 60's that we all got a contact high and forgot to write up a contract. I think we may have forgotten to pay them too... anyway, they're gone. When their music wore off we didn't go looking for them.

Cheergirls

Yep... Wes again. I guess we should send him to the "hospital" for a once-over. Although his interest in Cindy is understandable. Too bad she sings like a duck.
