This
three song 7" vinyl single, their second release as a band and their first
release for eMpTy, was a taste of things to come: melodic power pop. Cool green
marbled vinyl, 45 rpm on the A side, 33 on the flip.
A now-defunct band from San Francisco,
California, the Meices formed in 1991 and broke up in 1997, after which main
songwriter Joe Reineke went on to form the even more prolific Alien Crime Syndicate
in the late '90s, a band that added some electronic elements to the hard guitar
pop of bands like his previous Meices. Besides their debut album on eMpTy, the
Meices put out three more albums on different labels, their last on the major
label London Records, plus a good dozen singles on various other labels.
Releases:
Their last eMpTy release
features two songs, one from their eMpTy album released on the same day, plus
"Crash", a song exclusive to this release. Some copies on clear
vinyl, most on black. Test pressings on blue vinyl.

Their
first full length album was released on eMpTy in 1993, and was a
good example of things to come: trio power pop, refined to perfection,
putting a lot of thought and talent into every aspect of each release,
from cover art to the individual production. One of the better middle
period eMpTy bands. 11 songs, pressed as an LP in the USA and as
a CD in both Germany and the USA, although the German CD has a different
label design compared to the US pressing. CD features a bonus, non
LP track.
