PLEASE INFORM THE CAPTAIN, THIS IS A HIJACK


HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Please Inform the Captain This is a Hijack features the prolific Mike Kirsch who was in bands like Bread & Circuits, Torches To Rome, and Fuel. Below are the 2 only releases the band ever put out. Both were only released on 12" vinyl and are out of print. If you like these albums be sure to check out Mike Kirsch's latest project called Baader Brains. Baader Brain's sound picks up were PITCTIAH left off. On a side note, I used Sharebee for these uploads to help links stay up longer. Sharebee uploads the file to a few different places. Hopefully this will help cut down on the reupload requests.

AUTUMN


Pennsylvania's Autumn were without question early pioneers of what's known today as 'screamo' due to their vocal style. Listen to "The Box In The Cellar" 7 inch to hear what I mean. Existing in the early/ mid '90s they they released two 7" EPs and a CDEP released by a subsidiary division of Revelation Records. I had the chance to seem them live a few times and was always floored by their heavily emotional live performances. If anyone has any images or information on what the guys from Autumn are doing now please post it in the comments. Photo above was taken by me at a show Autumn played in a firehall.

GARY WILSON


Hands down one of my favorite artists! Gary Wilson is a experimental muscian/performance artist who has built a rabid cult following since releasing his groundbreaking album "You Think You Really Know Me" in 1977. He lapsed into obscurity from the public eye until the late 90s, when Beck was heard citing him as an influence, most notably in his hit single "Where It's At". He released a new full length on Stones Throw records in 2004 titled "Mary Had Brown Hair." I got in touch with Gary awhile ago over email and was able to purchase two early and rare 7 inches from him. Both 7 inches below were limited to 500 copies. Be sure to check out Gary's site at http://www.sixpointfour.com and buy some of his full length records.

My good friend Bryan recently leant me his usb turntable. I've been capturing a lot of vinyl that I will be posting on this blog over the next month. The first is from the almighty Ink & Dagger. I've been looking for the Sensation 7" in mp3 format for awhile to no avail so I had to capture and post it here first. If you don't know who Ink & Dagger is check out their Wiki. Enjoy! Look out for a lot more posts over the next few days.

To everyone requesting reposts of dead links : At this time because of my schedule I can't get around to reuploading links. Does anyone have any suggestions for better places to upload files rather than mediafire? Please hit me up if you do.

DEAR EPHESUS


Dear Ephesus was a band from Orlando, Florida in the late Nineties. They came out of the Sunny Day Real Estate/Mineral scene and like both of those bands had strong Christian overtones in their lyrics. If you can get past that you will be treated to some really great "post rock", "emo", or whatever phrase you want to attach to it. I got to see them play live when I was in high school and was blown away at the intensity of their live performance. The records do a good job at capturing the energy of the band. Both albums are out of print and hard to find but pick a copy up if you can find one!
