About Soft Targets Cassette Release
This Soft Targets cassette release was in the can for over three years before it finally saw release at the beginning of 2012. What took so long? Who knows. It’s orange though, and that’s all that matters.
The tape features songs from seven inch singles, outtakes, and alternate versions of a few songs. “(Let it) Ricochet” was one of the first four or five Softies songs ever and “Straight Line” was as well. The two tracks made up the first Soft Targets seven inch for RoosterCow in 2006. The version of “Systems” was also recorded during those two days at Semaphore.
A different version would later appear on our debut full-length, We Hate You Soft Targets The Monkee-fied “Don’t Ask Why” was the b-side to the “The Kid’s Want Action” 7″. “Bitter Pill” was a weird outtake from the same recording session. “Tromboner” is what it is (that’s second Soft Target drummer, Dave Potter in a phone message to Dan Kiss who went AWOL for about a week after Soft Targets Must Be Destroyed! and no one had any idea what had happened to him).
There’s a slower version of “Apocalypse” with Tina Finch on backing vocals and an alternate version of “Frustration” with mulitiple guitar leads from Adam Scott. Finally, “Cylon Tina” (misspelled on the cover as “Cylon Tina”), is messin’ around with her backing track to “Western Civ” from the Destroyed record.
