Tapeworm by the stragglers

The Stragglers would like to thank Chris Forrest and Synicalist Records, 331 arts for our music video, Nigel Bagley, Don Little, Jill Dombroski, Sherry Kimble, the Bovine Sex Club, Just Another Punk Show on CHRW, Randy Burk, Pouzza Fest and the mixed tapes we grew up on. To our older fans, this album cover may come as a surprise. It was initially rejected by the CD company. Well no one listens to CDs anymore anyways so they can eat it. You Owe Me is about being in a band, Alkalyte is about being a fan of Alkaline Trio, Callie is a fictitious name but based on a true story, Alualu is about aggression (the title is named after a DT in the NFL), Owl Eyes is a character in the novel The Great Gatsby, These Arms Are Yours is a love song, The Things I Know was written after a friend's 30th birthday party and Explore the Obvious is a cover song. We are proud to say we have a mutual respect with the Sloppy Meateaters.
