After two full U.S. tours, Bluetip
enlisted the production guidance of Ian MacKaye to recorded their
debut album, "Dischord No.101"
(released 06.96 on Dischord Records). More touring followed, leading
the band through the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Bluetip
strengthened their songwriting while keeping the melodic vs. dissonance
high-energy style their live performances showcased, crank ng out
their second full-length, "Join Us"
(released 11.98 on Dischord Records), produced by J. Robbins. The
band spent much of the next year and a half playing shows.
When the time came to write and record more songs, Bluetip
once again called on J. Robbins' expertise to capture their newest
batch: 15 songs in all. Five on "Hot
(-) Fast(+) Union" with the remaining ten released
their third full-length on Dischord Records in September 2001.
Still chomping at the bit after extensive touring through Europe,
Japan and the U.S.A. in support of their third album, "Polymer",
Bluetip corrals six years worth of maverick songs into their latest
release "Post Mortem Anthem'.The
collection features five previously unreleased songs recorded over
the years during various sessions. These songs had fallen victim
to time and money constraints; left feral and unfinished on their
master reels until this spring when they were broken, groomed, and
saddled. Five more songs, previously farmed out to 7" singles
and compilations currently out of print, round out the herd, making
"Post Mortem Anthem" a
potent retrospective from the Bluetip
stable.
