On LP for the first time! Hear the 1995 classic, "Weirdo" like it was intended, remixed and remastered by David Barbe, with 5 bonus tracks. Double LP with download card. "Lead singer Mike Mantione's lyrics tackle some tough subject matter: mental illness, social anxiety and suicide, to name a few. Yet he's not flip or ironic about these things; he doesn't glamorize them, and at the same time he also manages to craft songs which are neither dire nor depressing. He is matter-of-fact in his delivery of such lyrics as: "and now you know that I want to take my life... I want to behead myself." Mantione uses these unlikely tools to craft beautiful, melodic and haunting songs that actually make the listener feel good. You may have to hear it to believe it, but it's absolutely true, as the band's swarms of loyal fans will not hesitate to tell you."- We Heart Music

Athens, GA-based band Five Eight released Weirdo, the album that should have been a breakthrough for the relentlessly hard working and touring band that formed in the late 80's. Twenty one years later, Weirdo gets the deluxe re-release treatment

     —Stuart Morrison, Insomnia Radio Network

Five Eight's Weirdo really does sound like something that should have been a big deal in the '90s. A thick onslaught of bright, spinning guitars is counterbalanced by a great sense of melody...
