JAYDEN MONT / BLOOD RED OSCARS - split "Too Hot For Radio!!"

 this is a split by Blood Red Oscars in Florida,and Jayden Mont ,in Pennsylvania...I dont know how to describe it,other than to say it is outsider musical genius,and a shot of tardcore stupidity...nothing wrong with that at all...... Jayden did the front cover art,and his songs are mostly instrumentals...the Blood Red Oscars,tone down the language and subject matter,since Jayden is a young tenager,and Satan Peabody didnt want any angry parents after him! He found me thru Food Fortunata ,who had already done two splits with him,and Food said he was an okay kid! Gray Meatballs did the back cover artwork (kill some of 'em.... all!) ,typesetting,and editing.

a split between a youth from PA. and an elderly man in FL.Jayden Mont has been making music for years now,and is quite professional,and Blood Red Oscars have been making dumb songs for decades now ,and these may be some of their stupidest songs yet!!
