The Procrastinators

The Procrastinators were a locally cherished ‘77 infused Punk band active from 1994 to 1997 in Portland, Oregon, United States. For whatever reason, the rest of the world has taken its sweet time discovering this gem. Featuring Portland all-star Chris Carey (rip) who would later grace his presence in many local bands including Poison Idea, Deathcharge, Religious WAR, Defiance, etc., etc., this is a great document of how it all started with this very important figure in the scene here along with many others who were very active in the Portland underground scene throughout the 90’s. Musically, these Punks can be likened to cohorts, The Riffs with the straight ahead Street Punky Rock 'N' Roll executed totally raw and unadulterated. This LP collects variations of the tracks on their one and only 7” , demo stuff, an unreleased EP, a comp track, rehearsal track and live song simply titled “New Song”. One excerpt from the insert sums The Procrastinators up perfectly: “They are like an old Stooges t-shirt; comfortable and classic.”
