Collaborative project between Chris Richards (Q and Not U, TK Echo, Paint Branch) and Sean Mcguinness (Pissed Jeans, Navies).

IN THE SUMMER OF 2008, CHRIS TOOK THE BUS FROM BROOKLYN TO PHILADELPHIA EVERY THURSDAY AFTERNOON TO JAM WITH SEAN AND WATCH THE OLYMPICS. THEY WROTE MORE THAN 30 SONGS. THEN THEY FORGOT ABOUT THEM UNTIL JANUARY 2013. CHRIS WAS NOW LIVING IN D.C., AND SEAN CONVINCED AARON TO CART HIS TASCAM-388 UP TO PHILLY FOR AN AFTERNOON OF RECORDING. CAPTURED ON TAPE FOR THE AGES, THESE SONGS WERE QUICKLY ABANDONED ONCE MORE, UNTIL THE SUMMER OF 2014 WHEN CHRIS FINALLY RECORDED THE WORDS WITH AARON BACK IN D.C. EVERYBODY FORGOT ABOUT THE SONGS ONE MORE TIME BEFORE RECONVENING TO MIX THEM IN THE SPRING OF 2015. AND THEN, AFTER ANOTHER TWO YEARS HAD VANISHED INTO OBLIVION, PRESTO! "STREET STAINS" WAS RELEASED IN JANUARY 2017 ON CASSETTE AND ONLINE. IN 2021, J. NARDY INQUIRED ABOUT PRESSING THESE SONGS TO VINYL, THE RECORD YOU HOLD IN YOUR HAND APPEARED IN 2022, AND NOW STREET STAINS CAN FINALLY BE FORGOTTEN FOREVER.

Street Stains:
Sean McGuinness (the drummer) and Chris Richards (gtr/vox).
