Hate Your Friends: Deluxe Edition

Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition of this 1987 album from the Punk/Alt-Rock band led by Evan Dando. Hate Your Friends showcases a Hardcore-Punk-to-Pop-Rock sound and sensibility as playfully fierce as it is surprising... especially to listeners who know the band only from their better-known major label recordings of the 1990 's. With a handful of original songs, a passionate love for their favorite bands from Husker-Du, the Replacements, Black Flag and the Germs, to the Saints, Wire and 77 UK Punk and a tiny recording budget, The Lemonheads set about their first studio session within days of their high school graduation in June of 1986. This Fire Records re-issue features bonus tracks including 12 never-before-released live tracks from a 1987 radio session, rare tracks from the early compilation Crawling from Within, and additional tracks not included on the original release of Hate Your Friends.
