about

'Obvious' was recorded by Dropkick in early 2006 and the release coincided with the band undertaking their first tour in July 2006. The original CD version was limited and homemade, to be sold at those gigs. To our knowledge, it has been unavailable since then.

This new 15th Anniversary version includes the original album, remastered by Andrew Taylor, along with 13 previously unavailable recordings from 2005/2006. These have been salvaged from old CDs, hard drives and minidiscs so may feature the occasional click, pop or hiss.
Notably, there are 2 songs that were later re-recorded for Andrew's first Boys with the Perpetual Nervousness album (Runaway / Southern Words) and Someone, that eventually was recorded for Andrew's first solo CD in 2015. The album also includes a version of the title track with a lead vocal from our friend, Andy Tucker, recorded in 2006. Although this version was never released, Andy did eventually record with Dropkick on 'Lucky That The Heart' from the Dropkick album, 'Patchwork'.

Songs From Another Life
by The Boys With The Perpetual Nervousness

supported by 39 fans who also own “Obvious (15th Anniversary Expanded Edition)”

The indie pop on Songs From Another Life sounds confident yet delicate, and the strummy and jangly guitars makes me long for spring. Some songs sound like straight up Teenage Fanclub worship, but in a good way. Fans of The Byrds and Big Star will probably dig this as well. Niek || Add To Wantlist

Courtney Barnett shared a video of Quivers on Facebook - You're Not Always On My Mind. I thought I bought the tape with this song on it. I believe it is not. Nevertheless, wanted to know more about Quivers and I collect tapes. So, there! Happy as a clam. Arnold
