Problem Children "On The Air" ep


The Problem Children were from Dunnsville and were a three-piece. The band featured Jamie Problem on guitar and vocals, Barney Rebel on bass and vocals, and Gary Indiana on drums. The Problem Children started up their own record label called Problem Children Wrekords to put out this 5 song ep. I think this may have been the only thing to come out on the label. They wrote a song about Dunnville called "The Pit Between Two Signs". The songs found on here include:


1. On the Air - this is a song based in a real life story about how a CBS rep approcahed Problem Children about signing but the band would never have signed as is evidenced by the band putting this record out on their own label.
2. Stayin' Young - The band plans on stayin' young

3. Energy - this is about how punk rock has embodied the original wild spirit that rock 'n roll had when it forst started out. This is the difference between music that is important and music that is forgettable.
4. 1 to 24 - a song about a party animal
5. The Pit Between Two Signs - a song about Dunnville which uses the phrasing from the signs at the town's limits as a chorus
 
So this record is long out of print but you can find it on the "Hate You" release of rarities and unreleased songs, Stumble Records has this available at https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/hate-you!-unreleased-rarities/id562560929.
