Pink Mountaintops - Rock N Roll Fantasies: The First Demos '2004

Tracks list

In early 2003 a young Steve McBean was living in Vancouver and in the midst of a
transition from his sorely overlooked rock band Jerk With A Bomb into an
auspicious new chapter. JWAB was his umpteenth band in as many years
woodshedding as both a frontman and a supporting musician in countless punk &
hard core bands in the Canadian wilds starting in his teens and going through
his twenties. JWAB was arguably the band in which he’d finally found his
signature singing voice and started collaborating with drummer Joshua Wells and
vocalist Amber Webber.

Around this time his friend Dan Bejar (Destroyer, New Pornographers) sent to
Jagjaguwar a demo tape of new songs that Steve had been writing. He
wasn’t sure if it they were JWAB songs or something new entirely. The
songs were randy & ribald, with a primitive drum machine beat and a Bo Diddley
guitar swagger. They were scintillating and taught us things that our parents
were too scared to teach. These were the demos for the songs that would be
re-recorded as the debut album by Pink Mountaintops, a sister project to the
other McBean-fronted rock band that was being born at the same time —
Black Mountain. This was an exciting time not only for McBean — who was
bubbling with songs & ideas — but a turning point for Jagjaguwar,
thrilled to sign two of its most significant projects simultaneously.
We’re very pleased to be able to share these first demos which bred so
much inspiration and provided a horny clarion call for things to come.
