Vomit Spots – Dude, I Didn’t Know (Color)

$26.99

The Vomit Spots formed in 1985 from a group of friends who all worked for the college radio station WTOH in Mobile, Alabama. The punk band gained a reputation with their gritty, aggressive style and catchy, raunchy lyrics. The Vomit Spots toured into the mid ’90s, from Alabama to California and back, supporting such alt heavy weights as The Descendants, L7, and Helmet. Dude, I Didn’t Know! is the Vomit Spots’ first 12-inch full-length album. Ten tracks included on this record are released here for the first time and were recorded in 1988, while four tracks were taken from the I Want to Bowl cassette and were recorded in 1989. The record comes on vomit colored vinyl, in a printed polybag and is limited to 500 copies.

The Vomit Spots Dude, I Didn’t Know (Color) vinyl is a full-length LP from Last Hurrah Records by a band with a history stretching back to 1985, when a group of friends who all worked at a college radio station started making music together. That origin says a lot: these are people who knew records before they made them.

Vomit Spots: A Band with Roots

Bands that form around a shared radio station have a specific quality. They have spent time behind the mic choosing what gets airtime, arguing about which records matter and why. That curatorial instinct tends to show up in the music. Vomit Spots formed in 1985, which means they have been at this longer than many of the bands they might share a bill with today. Last Hurrah Records is a label for bands with a certain veteran energy, and this release fits that framing. There is no searching for identity here. The Vomit Spots know exactly who they are.

What This Record Is

The title “Dude, I Didn’t Know” has the casual directness of a band comfortable in their own skin. It is not trying to position itself as anything other than what it is. The LP format gives a band with this much history room to demonstrate what they have accumulated over decades of playing. Last Hurrah Records knows who they are putting out and why this record deserves a proper LP release. A band that has been at it since 1985 arrives at every project with accumulated judgment about what belongs on the record.

Vomit Spots Dude, I Didn’t Know (Color) Vinyl Details

Color vinyl LP from Last Hurrah Records. A band with a history this long releasing on a label like Last Hurrah is the kind of thing that ends up under-documented and over-searched for later. This is the format that preserves that history physically: a color pressing of a record by a band who has been doing it for decades, from a label that takes the format seriously. The color variant will go before the standard run catches up.
