End of the Decade Mix

A cleaner version of this song from Dock of the Bus Stop

Compulsion (Better Version)

A fan favorite from the Something Invincible Release in 1995

Gentlemen Prefer Natives (shorter version)

this song is from Dock of the Bus Stop, our first release. Most of our songs were pretty serious, but we did have a fun side.    

01 Pink Dots From Mars

Bob wrote this song about the infamous female punk band Dress Up as Natives. It's always been a favorite and loads of fun to play. These folks in the picture celebrate the spirit of that great band.

02 Gentlemen Prefer Natives ()Long silence at start

We recorded this at Duquesne University, they had recently added a sound design major. We were Brian Cobb's class project. The songs came out well, and were the backbone of the Something Invincible release.

Magnet of Bad Luck

Balancing  Act was written while the band was working on a picket line for a local grocery union. We weren't hired so much for our activism, as we were for the somewhat scary images that we presented. It was work, and our release Welfare Dub, and this song, which was released a few years later, were the results.

Balancing Act

Towers Open Fire is a song that grabs me just as hard today as it did the first time I heard it. No recording does it justice, and there was nothing like witnessing this song live as Robert Porter poured his entire body and soul into it. RIP Mr. Porter. We'll take it from here.

Dock of the Bus Stop

Towers Open Fire

This is from our second release, The Welfare Dub. It includes saxophone from Charles Rosenblum, a long time, part time member of the band. This song has not been released otherwise, and is under represented in our discography.

Flowers of April

This song features Toby Houser on Bass and Jeff Flaherty on guitar. We recorded this in the rehearsal space on a four track machine. It is one of the songs on our final release Something Invincible, which came out in 1995. It's short, fast and dense.

Problems With Electricity

This song is from the Welfare Dub release and is one of the most balls out tunes we played. Fast, raw and ripping, it gets straight to the point and shreds until the end.

Night Silence (Studio Version)

This song was originally released on the Welfare Dub Cassette. It is the title track of the remastered EP on iTunes and Amazon under the band name Thin White Line. With the opening lines, "Love and emotion begone. History repeats itself if we wait to long..." it's as pertinent now as it was 20 years ago. Another great Robert Porter song.

Superman and That Girl

This song appeared on our 7 inch we released with Smog Veil Records. It was re-released on a full length CD a few years later. This song is from the dark years when many of us were living on the edge of the law, and sometimes finding ourselves in a bit over our heads. It's less a celebration, and more a cautionary tale.

Live With Toby

Put my Feet Back on the Ground

This song is from the first album, Dock of the Bus Stop. despite some blemishes, it's a decent release with some great moments. This song was always fun to play.

Babylon Kids

This is a digitally polished version of a song from an earlier release now available as part of the Superman and That girl EP on Amazon and iTunes. It is the hottest track from the 90's and I would put it up against classics like Ace of Spades, Sonic Reducer or Anything by the New York Dolls. I love all those songs, but I think this is just as good. So pop on some headphones, buckle up and prepare for the 100 mile an hour propulsion of Thrilling Cities.

Superman and That Girl - EP

Thrilling Cities

This song was part of our first release, Dock of the Bus Stop. We recorded this at a small studio on the edge of the city limits. It was one of my favorite recording sessions as it was the first time I realized how powerful our band was, and how great the legendary Robert Porter could be.

Everyone You Meet

These are songs from the first Thin White Line release back in 1987. Recorded on a 4 track reel to reel with just a few microphones and basic equipment, it's a great example of the punk DIY attitude of the time.

Tales From the Fortress Everything

This was one of the first songs completely written by the version of the band I was in. I don't remember where it was recorded, Definitely done in a real studio. There is no complete version available on any CD or record. Just this from a cassette.

We're Not Animals

Before Thin White Line, I was in Kitsch with my brother Tony, Jeff Goldhammer and a few different drummers. This song was recorded before we splintered into other bands. Jeff wrote it and taught Tony the bass part. I joined in later. I'm posting it to honer my brother who passed away on December 5, 2019. Peace

Frequency 49

This is a newer version of the song recorded at a professional studio and promptly lost. I found it recently and feel it is a better mix than the original.

Another Day in the Compound Remix

Tin White Line Live and in their prime. No performance was ever perfect, that was the charm. But the power and the pleasure of the music is it's own rewards.

Something Invincible

Take Me to the River

Our best produced video was to this song. Live it was usually a 15+ minute epic jam that kept people on the floor. Good Times.

Clap Track

Pictures of Flesh is a song we performed from the very beginning. This version was mixed and engineered in the Granati Brothers studio in Coraopolis, Pa in the late 1990's and features Toby Houser on bass and Jason Bakes on guitar.

Pictures of Flesh

This features recordings from bands I've played in over the years. New material is in the future. Groups include Thin White Line, Eraserhead and Kitsch.
