the fitt - when the fitt hit the shan

released 2010

isn't the cover just screaming out to be painted on the side of a van?

after i'd posted their HAWK EYES EP the band was nice enough to send me a copy of their new 12"

in the review of the above mentioned ep...i'd made references to the melvins...helmet...and keelhaul...

there's a lot more of that business to be found here

and you should've already started downloading this as soon as you saw the letters m-e-l-v-i-n-s

sadly...this will more than likely be the band's last release...which is shitty because the world needs more bands like this in it

so what you need to do now is head over here and give the band some of that green paper you have

and in return...you too can own your very own copy of that sweet kick ass album cover (and of course...the actual album as well)

so get to gettin'!

the fitt - hawk eyes ep

released 2008

i was contacted by a member of this pittsburgh,pa trio awhile ago (his name is pat...i'm pretty sure he's their singer)...he had come across the blog by way of a melvins show that was posted a ways back and was wondering if i'd like to post something by his band...and that i should go and check out the band's myspace (and if i didn't want to...i could either ignore or make fun of the band...now...with a person like myself...i should never just be given those options)

so i did just that...and by me posting this...you should already know how i felt about the whole thing

and it's no wonder that pat was looking for stuff by the melvins on the internets...listening to this will take you back to a time when they too were a trio (which is very evident from the opening of first song "hawk eyes"...and you'd swear that you'd heard the song "M80" on the HOUDINI album)

so am i making fun?
no
am i ignoring this?
no

i'm going against everything that i am...look at me ma! i'm growing!

so if you like the melvins...keelhaul...helmet...

actually...you should've just said "of course i like the melvins" and then downloaded this already
