about

"After School Special: Pop Punk Revolution Reunion is the latest from Rum Bar. It's a 5 song EP of songs from some upcoming albums. Right off we see J Prozac so that interests us. Looks like his album, Obsession, is coming out soon. Some self-examination drives the lyrics in “Problems.” Jay now thinks the problem could be himself, that drives this swift pop punk tune. Jay has a way to deliver his lyrics that make them instantly memorable and appealing. The Cretins are in similar territory with “ I Wanna Be Your Boy”. Their album will be called (love this) We’re Gonna Get So Old. Pavid Vermin’s “Desecrate the Cathedral” is a different beast all around. We like that it's poppy and ornate but it’s hard to pin it down. We’re going to have to hear the album to figure out the ins and outs of this. Then there is a Wimp! song “Yesterday” and a Glimmer Stars song “Sugar Blue” both of which are on their last albums... and both of those albums are some of our fave Rum Bar releases!" - Paul Blowfish, Boston Groupie News

Featuring brand new, advance tracks from forthcoming Sum-sum-sum-summertime releases including artists and reunited bands that were part of a mid-90s Pop Punk Revolution inspired by Lookout! Records and home to the classic Melted Records pop punk, greaser rock catalog featuring Pavid Vermin, J Prozac, WiMP!, The Glimmer Stars, and the long awaited return of The Cretins!!

And to keep in the spirit of old is new, Rum Bar Records will be using the Melted Records family banner on these releases. It may be 2024 but this summer it will feel like 1998.
