Tommy Boy Records celebrates the 30th Anniversary of House of Pain's debut album House of Pain (Fine Malt Lyrics) with a remastered, limited edition deluxe version featuring re-imaged artwork by renowned artist, Tristan Eaton, on July 22, 2022. Everlast, DJ Lethal & Danny Boy formed House of Pain while attending high school and were signed to Tommy Boy Records after fashioning themselves as rowdy Irish-American hooligans, hitting the local rap & alternative music scene. Their debut album House of Pain (Fine Malt Lyrics) was released in 1992 and went multi-platinum, thanks to the smash hit single "Jump Around" which was produced by Cypress Hill's DJ Muggs. The song hit #3 on the Billboard Top 100 Chart in the US and charted Top 10 globally, including in the UK & Canada. "Jump Around" has been named one of the best songs in Hip-Hop (NME, VH1, Q Magazine, The Source) and continues to remain not only a club classic, but a sports anthem with one of the most recognizable beats in hip-hop history. House of Pain (Fine Malt Lyrics) also features Cypress Hill member B-Real on "Put Your Head Out" and Funkdoobiest's Son Doobie on "House and the Rising Sun", both members of the musical collective Soul Assassins and a remix of "Jump Around" by Pete Rock. Q magazine "... their music is of the dense, hard-hitting school of hip hop... The group have absorbed black rap's musical lessons and create a satisfying for their above average deliveries... " The Source "... a very solid and at times exceptional album... imagine if Licensed to Ill wasn't an upper middle class Jewish thing but rather a working class Irish thing... The atmosphere is like that of a cross between a frat party and a bar room brawl... " Album Tracks 1. Salutations 2. Jump Around 3. Put Your Head Out 4. Top O' the Morning to Ya 5. Commercial 1 6. House and the Rising Sun 7. Shamrocks and Shenaniga

Over the past decade Pressure Sounds Records and producer Bunny "Striker" Lee have collaborated on a series of critically acclaimed reissues and compilations that highlight Mr. Lee's contribution to Jamaican music from 60's rocksteady (The Uniques - Absolutely Rocksteady) to 70s reggae, roots (Bunny Lee & Friend's Next Cut) and dubwise styles (Conflict Dub). This fruitful partnership continues with "Rub A Dub Revolution Early Dancehall Productions From Bunny 'Striker' Lee" their first foray into Mr. Lee's transformative rub a dub work from the late 70s to mid-eighties. In the late 1970s, Kingston was in the midst of a transformation from a decade of warfare and street battles. Sick of the politics and violence the population was ready to move on. Slowly the dancehalls, all but shuttered during the 1970s were returning to life and a host of new singers and DJs flocked to the sound systems with lyrics and style that spoke to the dancehall itself. This new breed of "rub a dub soldier" eschewed the international market, and spoke to Jamaicans in their own language, about their own concerns from S*x to humor to the day-to-day problems of suffering in the ghetto. Bunny Lee was always attuned to the slightest changes in the musical landscape and quickly picked up on this shift in taste. By 1980 he had gathered a stable of young artists around his core veterans like Cornell Campbell and Johnny Clarke to build riddims and tunes to speak to this new "dancehall" vibe. With a deep knowledge of classic songwriting, an ability to effectively communicate with musicians and an infusion of new talent, Striker Lee's new direction quickly hit gold. "Rub a Dub Revolution" mines this often overlooked period with tracks of rarities like the Paragons obscure "Place Called Zion", classic tunes such as Don Carlos' iconic "Pass Me The Lazer Beam" and extended 12" mixes featuring DJ verses by
