Engineer Records presents: A Tribute To SEAWEED * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * For immediate release:
Engineer Records is proud to announce that we will be assembling a tribute to the late Tacoma, Washington post-punk band, SEAWEED! Seaweed started out releasing material on their own Leopard Gecko imprint in 1989, before moving onto a vinyl single with K Records, signing to Sub Pop a few years later for their career building albums "Despised," "Weak," and "Four." Then Hollywood Records picked the band up in 1993 and released their largest album to date, 1995's "Spanaway," their bombastic major label offering. Lasting only 1 album on Hollywood, the band and label unhitched and Seaweed then moved back to the indies. Merge Records issued their final release in 1999, "Actions and Indications" turned into their swan song and the band split later the same year. Seaweed's decade of existence came to an end.

Seaweed's live show was impressive--they played their particular brand of post- Black Flag, Dischord-esque, Minneapolis-tinged rock (Okay, a hint of the mighty Grunge as well) with such zeal, they could have wrung their shirts into a cup after every show. By the time they decided to call it quits, Seaweed had seen about 300,000 faces, and rocked almost all of them.

"Seaweed has been an important role-player of both myself and my partner David (Engineer/Ignition Recs) in not only our label, but musically for both of us as well over the years. An impression was made in our formative years, that still hangs on us, just as strong to this day. They were a post-hardcore landmark in the 90's next to the likes of Quicksand, Samiam and Jawbox and easily just as vital in their own way. Remembering how much I wore out "Four" and "Spanaway" is as easy as reciting the alphabet. I'm definitely a die-hard fan. I hold high regard to their sense of jagged melody, charge, and just plain gut permeating Seaweed's catalogue of releases.

We'll be soliciting some bands personally, and also are open to submission requests. Please check with us first via email (craig@engineerrecords.com), and please, don't go record a cover song and waste your money before getting the "OK." Be prepared to have quality recordings of YOUR band ready to hear either via link or CD. Yes we are judging you on the quality you can produce, not the popularity of your band. There will be a limited number of slots of course. Most importantly, please be a fan of the band, not just trying to land a slot, as there is a reason this is a tribute. Not to add any pressure, but it's quite likely a few Seaweed members will hear ya too. We've caught up with them and have their approval for the project intact. We're keeping in touch along the way."
