![]() “Nastassja” is just that, emblematic of POPSICKO's charm and energy in their prime and the potential for what could have been. The songs left behind are cherished by those who were there, and await discovery by those who love the perfect short-and-sweet pop song delivered with power and passion. Lauden and featuring remembrances from the surviving band members, is part of the lovingly-assembled reissue. A heartfelt oral historyremembrance of the band's history and Brown, from writer and SB scene veteran S.W. Seemingly destined to join the ranks of Weezer and Green Day (with whom they shared stages) on the charts, the band's trajectory was tragically halted by the 1995 death of Brown in a car accident. Legends of their music scene and beloved on the road, POPSICKO possessed everything it took to rule the airwaves in the '90s heyday of the pop punk sound: the jagged guitars and rocket-fueled rhythms, the sweet hooks, and, in Keith Brown, an electrifying frontman capable of crafting indelible and often heartbreakingly beautiful tunes. A pair of singles - "Nastassja" and "Ashtray Mouth" - have set the stage for the release and brought the band's work to the attention of the global guitar pop scene of today, and that wider recognition is long overdue. BIG STIR RECORDS invites you to discover and celebrate the legacy of POPSICKO, and the forthcoming first-time-on-vinyl reissue of the much-missed Santa Barbara band's lost classic LP OFF TO A BAD START.
