HEAR DOOKIE “THE WAY IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE HEARD”

If you’ve ever wanted to hear a Teddy Ruxpin play ‘Chump’ or have your toothbrush belt out ‘Pulling Teeth’, then today is your lucky day. In a very unique celebration of Dookie‘s 30th anniversary, fans can now bid on limited edition “demastered” tracks from the album on the website dookiedemastered.com until October 11th.

Unfortunately for international fans, bidding on tracks is US only but you can at least preview the the songs on the website. Check out the description and preview video below.

“When an album hits a big milestone like its 30th anniversary, it gets the usual remasters on the usual formats. But Dookie isn’t a usual album.

Instead of smoothing out its edges and tweaking its dynamic ranges, this version of Dookie has been met­icu­lously mangled to fit on formats with uncom­promis­ing­ly low fidelity, from wax cylinders to answering machines to toothbrushes. The listening experience is unparalleled, sacrificing not only sonic quality, but also convenience, and occasionally entire verses.

The result is Dookie Demastered: the album that exploded the format of punk rock, re-exploded onto 15 obscure, obsolete, and otherwise inconvenient formats, the way it was never meant to be heard.”

NEW MUSIC FROM PINHEAD GUNPOWDER & AI20 RELEASED

Three more tracks have been released from the upcoming American Idiot 20th Anniversary Edition. You can now listen to the demo version of ‘Jesus Of Suburbia’, the b-side ‘Shoplifter’ and a live version of ‘Boulevard Of Broken Dreams’ on your preferred streaming service or on the band’s YouTube channel.

Also out today is the new single from Pinhead Gunpowder’s upcoming album, Unt which you can check out below. The band were also guests on the Turned Out Punk podcast to promote the album so you’ll wanna tune into that for an extremely rare interview with the previously long dormant band.

The band contributed ‘One Eyed Bastard’ from Saviors for the soundtrack. The song’s name is apparently a little to risqué for EA Sports to actually print though, so the song is listed as “One Eyed B******” on the family friendly tracklist. Check out a playlist of the soundtrack on Spotify.
