I really hope the RKL reunion with Tony Foresta from M.W helps bring a resurgence to RKL. They're kinda like the hardcore version of the Velvet Underground. Not many people bought their records. But everyone that did started a band after listening to them.

I saw them their opening night May 1 in SF. They sound better than they did 30 years ago, was hesitant to like them with a different singer, but Tony killed it.

My high-school band back in 88/89 worshipped RKL along with Poison idea and the Accused. This album made me a better musician through pure determination to do my best to play along with it. Our drummer Boz even went on to play with them for a bit. RKL will always be fucking legends of the highest caliber.

Bombers drums on Gluey Porch. Never knew that. This was a great listen.

RKL playing in SB around 2005 was one of my all time favorite shows

I first saw you on a Melvins clip, about 13-14 years ago. I then learned your name. I was pretty surprised to find out that you did the production for the RKL album, while i was researching it 3-4 years ago. Now i see this video and i'd like to thank you for posting it and sharing all this information I wanted an in-depth look for this album from the guys that made it, and i've only found an interview with Chris Rest talking about it. Thank you very much and i subscribed!

They had this new bass player who was probably 18 or so & just tore it up. My mate got his nose broke at the show too during RKL's set as the "pit" was so intense.

Montecito has been an enclave for the rich since the beginning of the 20th century. There's a lady named Pearl Chase (Heir to Chase Manhattan Bank) that kind of created the culture around that. She was so wealthy that when Santa Barbara had an earthquake and fire in 1925, she paid to rebuild the city out of her own pocket. I grew up in SB with those guys and believe me it has been a very wealthy neighborhood for as long as anybody's been alive on this planet.

I have always loved RKL since I discovered them in the early 90s...but, I always felt that they would have been better with a different singer. Sure, you could say that Jason made them unique.. but in my opinion, the vocals held them back. Those guys rippped..especially Bomer and Chris...and later, Little Joe. Just think of how incredible they would have been with their crazy musicianship and 'real' vocals..

Thanks for that...this is much like imagining movies with different actors. Things can always be better, but if you change one element you have something completely different ! Most of this kind of music is about documenting the feeling at a particular moment in time, and this record definitely succeeds in doing that at the very least.

Are there tracks of just drums and bass? It would be awsome
