Track from the album: Fall In Love 1992-93, released December 4, 2020
"Formed by core members Rob Vasquez and Dawn Johnson, and joined by Donnie Hilstadt (ex-Statics, future Dutchess & Duke drummer), and Dylan Maiden (ex-Night Kings) The GORLS blasted out of the gate on their own new imprint, DOPE Records in early 1993, and quickly followed up their debut split 7” with only one more 3-track EP before completely disappearing, and leaving a huge void in their wake.
Which brings us to 2020… Thanks to the help of Dan Wood and Aaron Gilbreath, we tracked down Dawn Johnson who we’d hoped would be holding the keys to our suspicions. Luckily for us all, she was sitting on a full LP’s worth of GORLS tracks recorded with Johnny Vinyl in 1992-93, which we can now present for your adoring ear-holes. With 8 of the 12 tracks here previously unreleased, it’s a crucial and desperately needed blast of the BEST part of the 90s sound, and an essential brick in the ‘Budget Rock pantheon’ of 1990s punk history.
Pressed in a first edition of 500 copies, with a printed inner sleeve full of photos and an interview with lead singer Dawn Johnson, The GORLS debut LP is a long time coming, we’re so excited its finally come to fruition, and before we ramble too long, you’d better grab a copy, we’re so excited for you to hear their incredible version of THE VICTIMS “Television Addict” so without further adieu…."
