Procrastinators

Procrastinators were a locally cherished ‘77 infused punk rock band active from 1994 to 1997 in Portland, Oregon. For whatever reason, the rest of the world has taken its sweet time discovering this gem. Featuring Portland all-star Chris Carey (RIP) who would later grace his presence in many local bands including Poison Idea, Deathcharge, Religious War, Defiance, etc etc, this is a great document of how it all started with this very important figure in the scene here along with many others who were very active in the Portland underground scene throughout the 90’s. Musically, these punks can be likened to cohorts, The Riffs with the straight ahead street punky rock n roll executed totally raw and unadulterated. This LP collects variations of the tracks on their one and only 7” ep, demo stuff, an unreleased ep, a comp track, rehearsal track, and live song simply titled “New Song”. This record comes with an extensive layout with liner notes from surviving members, a lot of photos, reviews and snippets from fanzines. One excerpt from the insert sums Procrastinators up perfectly: “Like an old Stooges t-shirt; comfortable and classic.”
