The Beatnik Termites vs. The Parasites


These two ripping American power-pop-punk bands, the Parasites (more here) and the Beatnik Termites (more here) need no further introduction here - so just enjoy this split single release on Just Add Water from 1995 (smack in the middle of the nineties Great Vinyl Glut).

  2. The Beatnik Termites' track sounds like a much less offensive version of the Ramones' "Wart Hog".

  4. i love the entire Parasites discography, but i still think that's my all-time fav song by them.

    here's a link that has the whole Just Add Water catalog posted. the label used to be based out of South Carolina. i loved the band Scooby Don't that was on the label.

    The link didn't appear to make it. Scooby Don't were great - they were on that No Slow All Go comp that I'm gonna post as soon as I find the artwork (I foolishly sold mine years ago).

  6. Late to the party, but the other Parasites release on Just Add Water is the Burnt Toast 7 inch ("Burnt Toast" and a cover of the Porcelain Boys' "What A Day". They are also on a couple of label comps, but no new songs.

  7. Burnt Toast is fantastic and the Porcelain Boys were a great band. You wouldn't happen to have a rip and scan of it would you?
