Anyone remember this chick from like 3 years ago? We we're covering her song for a while and decided to put it down while in the studio. We didn't put in on the record in case anyone sued us (assuming anyone heard the thing), so here it is for free!!!! (Free Download too!)

Jah Of Fahts (Christina Perri) - cover by In The Meantime

(Tune, inspired by Steve's Dunkin Donuts order)

The Blumpkins were a joke band that crawled out of the muck of the old Peabody Jam Rooms, while the various members of legitimate bands would dick around between actual practices. The goal was to imitate the attitude, sloppiness, and overall lack of concern for sound quality that embodied a lot of the various local punk bands of the early 2000s. 

Therefore, rules of the Blumpkins:
1) If the song isn't completely finished in 5 minutes, it must be thrown out and never used again.
2) Vocal melodies and bass must only follow the guitar chords.
3) When recording - Crappy sound. As long as you get through the whole song on a take, an additional take is not allowed.

Nobody was playing the right instruments, there was a different bass player almost every time they played, and the lead singer and lyric writer, Attorney Joseph Smith, had never played in any bands in the past, but the basic lineup mostly boiled down to: Joe Smith - vocals, Dan Levy - guitar, Dave Silverstein/Jake Stevens/Rob Hughes - bass, Steve Partaledis - Drums. 

In 2005, we recorded drums and guitars for this record (the guitars were done downstairs in the midst of one of the Rhondafests), but never got around to completing it. As Joe unfortunately could not continue with The Blumpkins due to a professional conflict of interest, in December 2014 we decided to finally put some vocals on it, so that anyone who would end up singing for us for the G-town reunion show would be able to hear how the songs go. Dan put the vocals on (appropriately one of the songs actually recorded while on the toilet), and once Steve heard them, he decided they MUST be released regardless of the lack of bass or a proper singer, as is the true fashion of the crappy punk bands we were originally trying to make fun of. So enjoy the result, the 3 track, 3:48 long, Porcelain Paradise. 


The Blumpkins - Medium Iced Coffee Two Sugars Light Cream

(Joe had us convinced that a Sulat was a poofy Asian man haircut like he had seen on a picture of Dan as a child in Rhonda's house. Today we believe either Joe was mistaken or was just making it up. Either way, we still use the word.)

The Blumpkins - Dan Had A Sulat

(According to one of our old miscreant friends, he had actually received a blumpkin. Furthermore, he claimed that as this act took place, he was enhancing the experience by reading an all anal porno magazine. Also, we all used to work at Mobil and fill propane.)

New ITM Guitar Demos

Brand new track from In The Meantime appearing on "Banana Split", a split record by Order 66 and In The Meantime. Record release show Friday March, 13th at The Pickled Onion in Beverly, MA - Event info: https://www.facebook.com/events/1554677144807618/

In The Meantime - Broken Pieces (NEW SONG FROM "BANANA SPLIT" WITH ORDER 66)

The twelvth track from the album "Go Figure" (2008).  No exaggeration, Steve and Jake's old band, Local Tough Guy (with Alex Ebert guitar and Sal "Brooklyn Sal" - "Sal The Drummer" - "Salosaurus" Mammana on drums) wrote one of my favorite punk albums of the 2000's, and I still listen to it often. It was a privilege to meet Sal and be involved with him musically as he is one of the sickest drummers we've all ever seen. Unfortunately, the band dissolved shortly after this album was released, and it faded into obscurity as only about 50 copies were ever produced. People need to hear this thing. LET'S REVIVE IT!!
