SIDEREAL by SIDEREAL

SIDEREAL was a band.

We were four teenage friends, sharing the first floor of a decrepit house in Allston, Massachusetts. We wrote some songs, played some shows, and made some recordings. We broke up. We stayed friends.

Shortly after SIDEREAL's last show in 1997, we pressed a self-titled eight song CD. We split up the copies and distributed them to friends, friends of friends, members of bands we admired, and other complete strangers. Perhaps we gave a copy to you.

We never tried to sell our music to anyone...until right now.

Johnny HUNT, SIDEREAL's drummer, was recently injured in a terrible accident, struck by a bus while riding his bike near his home in Brooklyn. His clavicle and pelvis were broken and he's facing a long and tremendously expensive recovery. Johnny's friends have been rallying around to support him in whatever ways they can.

As his former bandmates and longtime friends, we've assembled this digital album of the music we made together nearly two decades ago. Remastered by Scott CRAGGS and featuring new artwork by Zach BAROCAS, this collection includes the eight songs from SIDEREAL's eponymous 1997 CD plus two rarely heard 1995 demos from the band's early incarnation as FINGERPAINT BLUEPRINT. All recordings were engineered by Keith SOUZA at his pre-Machines With Magnets location, Sampson Studios.

Ten tracks for five bucks!

100% of the proceeds will go directly to Johnny to assist him.
