Supple
Extroverts
September 2016
Three decades in the making, Supple is the Extroverts’ first full studio album. The Regina post-punk/new wave/rock band played extensively across the Prairie provinces 1979-1983. With a mix of originals and covers by The Clash, The Ramones and other energetic bands of the day, they developed a reputation for fun live shows and quirky, danceable songs. And then they broke up. When Extroverts’ old punk rock pals from Vancouver, DOA, played a 2009 show in Regina, Extroverts reformed for what was supposed to be a one-off warmup spot. They had so much fun, they just kept playing, in the process finding old lyrics from 1979 and putting them to new music. With high-energy, melodic tunes, the resulting album boasts their signature ‘80s sound, with a musical maturity. Original fans of the band are thrilled to see them back in action, but a new generation has also discovered the fun and power of an Extroverts show, and the drive and hooks of their songs.
Recorded at: Ghetto Box Studios, Saskatoon and SoulSound Studios, Regina. Produced by: Swill Phector.
