86'd (2008) by The Preps

Well, The Preps 2008 album is here.. Kind of. I won't get into much of it, but let's just say say sometimes being in a band isn't easier. Sometimes people let things get under their skin and egos destroy some potentially great things.

This album originally had 19 songs on it, but after the band broke up during recording the album was never properly finished or mixed. Bill and Bob who left the band also didn't want a lot of the material they were responsible for available at all with The Preps name attached.

I can tell you I have heard the album in its entirety and it's a fucking shame that you can't hear all of it anywhere because it was a great fucking album. Bill Best is one of the best writers I've ever known. The music was fucking great and it's shitty that it can't all be available to be heard. I do respect both parties though. Fat Lou and IHG are great guys. The Best brothers are fucking awesome guys too! They continued their band afterwards, Second Best, and The Preps recruited new members and simply scrapped majority of this album.

Kill The Locals is the brain project of Jimmi Buskirk & John E. Knep. We then added the aid of Daniel P. Casanova and Jeff Kosa. The goal is simply to help get our favorite local bands get heard. You can stream directly from the site, download any album you want
