Discography
"You know they give you an award when you sell a million records. A million copies of one album, you understand? Now what about an award for someone who makes a million different albums, and sells one copy of each? That would be worth an award, and that's one I'd be eligible for, sure would be." -Ronnie Hawkins
"The best songs don't get recorded, the best recordings don't get released, the best releases don't get played". - Jim Dickinson

The Hard Feelings

You Won't Like It ... 'Cuz It's Rockn'Roll! LP/CD ( Dropkick Records , 2001, BEHIND 019) corelease with Beer Land Records (BEER 01) Slapped this cereal-box looking cover together to rush the album out before a European tour. Then, brush with success, it actually got featured in Rolling Stone. Band was unable to capitalize on this exposure because we had already sold all the copies before that issue came out. Then, Rich Stanley of Dropkick was diagnosed with kidney cancer and couldn't press up any more. True story.
