Rozz Rezabek: “You and I”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

The archive project continues, burrowing into California first wave punk to unearth a lost album by Ross Rezabek (post Negative Trend). Never before “officially released,” which suggests it’s been released but not “officially.” You know, bootlegged. Is the album just called 1979 Pop Session? Kind of a flat title, is there a story behind that? Our highlighted track “You and I” is a confrontational burner. Via Hozac Records.
