JAY COUNCE AND THE GAVOONS - COVER THE HITS - a RAMONES tribute SPLIT


 
back in the 90s Jay Counce was playing guitar in a band named "Sexboy" , I was the singer.Jay decided one day in 2013 that we should do a Ramones tribute split,and I said ok.He sent me his completed songs (altough I had to change the sample rate to get them to upload!) ,back in 2013,I had started a new band The Gavoons ,as kind of a follow up to Sexboy,maintaining the punk,raw,aggression,and sound.Jay's tracks are really good and polished ,The Gavoons tracks are raw ,one take,punk as fuck,with all bruises and warts.Art by ramonescomics ,back cover by Greay Meatballs.Jay is a great guitarist and all around musician,I believe he said his brother plays drums,possibly on here? I dunno,he might pop in and comment one day.Right now he's in the hospital with nerve damage to his left arm,and hopefully will not need surgery! This goes out to Jay,Get well soon,bro ,and Vance,and Brophy ,and every Ramones fan in the world!!   https://sluggishatapes.bandcamp.com/album/jay-counce-the-gavoons-cover-the-hits-a-ramones-tribute-split
