$3 Depth Charge Surfaces!

Recently, we transferred the 7" vinyl of on dasher up to here, and it is a blast - we are now very excited to bring you an extraordinary 7" single, scratches and all, from the band $3 Depth Charge.  Built and fronted by songsmith Zach Johnson, 3$ was one of the first bands, along with Grand Passion, to successfully transition from Mystic to New London.  After leaving the band doug, Zach began to craft the first handful of 3$ songs with GinaMarie on bass, hoping to get a song into the forthcoming Trapezium local mystic music compilation.  Roger Peffley joined and played drums, while Matt McClosky produced several of these new songs, including "the wobbler" which was smartly selected for Trapezium.

With the wind at their back, they soon recorded another batch of songs with McClosky - and from that, this illuminating 45 was pressed, featuring the single "Magnets" with "Faux Pas" - it is a snapshot of the band at a peak, showcasing the smoother, bouncier drumming technique of Meghan Killimade, with the beat angst of Zach, all tempered by the calming pulse of GinaMarie's basswork.  Extremely visceral soundscapes: everything is in the open here.  You can tell immediately from each of these songs that this band ROCKED live.

Zach tells us that 3$ was more of a live band than a studio band, but we are praying that more 3$ recordings surface soon!

And, in the meantime, you can follow the latest sounds from Mister Johnson in the Brokers, playing at Stasiu's in hometown
Minneapolis at the end of April...
