[Shatter590]

awesome!

anyone know where i can find anymore rare RXB stuff? :-)

can't get enough haha

[El_Jeffe]

to anyone who snapped up any of the gems, what did ya's think?

i never imagined tunes like 'decrescendo' going acoustic, but the way embree & his boys stripped it back was fantastic

no worries. ya gotta give praise when praise is due mate

Ive always thought it strange that a band as good as RX Bandits were on Drive Thru of all places.

haha no disrespect to the label 'cause i know a lot of folk here cheerish the bands from there. but yea i've often found myself wondering the exact same thing. when ya hold something like hellogoodbye's album (again no disrespect) up against 'the resignation' there two completely different worlds

[aolsux]

I was listening to Progress today, fantastic album.

If you like the acoustic stuff, there's more reason to get excited. Matt Embree is recording a solo record when they get off tour with GCH. I can't wait.

Oh and the reason RxB ended up on Drive-Thru is because they were signed waaaaaayyyyy before any of those bands mentioned, back when they were a goofy little ska band. Haha.

is he just? any info on that mate would be much appreciated. awesome news though

[Wobbie]

He already has some live acoustic songs floating around. I'll see what i can do to dig them up...

From the Rx-Bandits message board:

"I spoke to Matt about his solo record tonight. He's going into record it soon.

We will be releasing it in the Fall."

This was a post by RxB's manager, so yes it is legit. Also, there's mention of it on the Mash Down Babylon website. Sweet.
