The Vandals have reissued their 2002 album, Internet Dating Super Studs, that was the band’s first release via their own Kung Fu Records imprint. The reissue is now available on CD, pink & black splatter vinyl and digital formats, the digital version of the album includes the original album in full along with instrumental versions of the songs and bonus tracks, including Count To Ten and Disproportioned Head. The CD and vinyl editions of Internet Dating Super Studs feature the full album and are accompanied by a digital copy.
“The first album I ever lost weight while working on, all thanks to a jump rope. We mixed the album in Boston so we could use Paul Q. Kolderie (Radiohead, Pixies). Q Division studios in Boston has a vending machine that sells cans of beer. Driving a car around Boston is the absolute worst. On tour we milked the “dating” gag for nearly 2 years after the album’s release. Our “dates” were contest winners who hung out with the band after shows. 90% of our dates were with dudes. The bonus track Count To Ten was inspired by the contrived anger and pseudo-anguish spewed out by the Nu Metal bands who were popular in 2002. Yawn. The first Boston accent I heard upon arrival was at the car rental place. A lady answered the phone and said, “Dollaa-went-a-caa” …not a very feminine or horny accent. Disproportioned Head is about a real person the band knows, as is Where’s Your Dignity? Both of these people are in bands more popular than The Vandals. My girlfriend at the time got mad at me after reading the lyrics to “I Can’t Wait”.” (guitarist Warren Fitzgerald)
