No Regretzkys - Puck Drops Here - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Monster alt. Rock. A triumphantly brooding, surprisingly catchy LP perfect for ex-goths, alt. Rockers, & heavenly angels struggling with life or looking for trouble. The loooong-awaited third album by Chicago's Sybris is their masterpiece, shockingly more relevant than ever.

The album, always called Gold on Hold, sat recorded and mixed for more than 12 years until we were able to return for our 25th and it. Sybris decided to return as well, playing the famous 8k-attendee Dark Lord Day festival twice, two Chicago street fairs to packed blocks of people, and opening for Loc
