Sinkhole

Sinkhole "Never is Now"




Sinkhole has fell into the, well, Sinkhole of forgotten pop punk bands. They seem to take this in pride on their website boasting "One of Sinkhole's many claims to fame is the fact that we have never once been mp3'd by a person not in the band. There's a simple reason for that, and it's not uncrackable encryption. We call it 'uncryptable encraption', and it's an innovation we are not at liberty to share."

Sinkhole existed from 1992-1997 and graced the world with many records, most of which can be found in the dollar bin at your local record store if you dig deep enough.... Or if you can go straight to the source and buy their albums straight from the now defunct Ringing Ear Records who I imagine has some stockpiles of albums hanging around ready to sell (for pretty cheap too).

The sad part of all this is that Sinkhole was a really great band! Why they don't have a third of the acclaim of Screeching Weasel, or hell, even the Beatnik Termites is a mystery to anyone who has listened to them. Perhaps it was the fact they release records on Dr. Strange or perhaps it's just bad luck.


In any event, I have broke the 'uncryptable encraption' and took the liberty of ripping one of my favorite tracks from them.
