You may not know Chad Booth by name but you definitely know his music. He's currently fronting Gary Wrong Group and previously lead or played in Wizzard Sleeve, Kajun SS, Mangina, and other shorter-lived groups while moving back and forth between greater southern Alabama and New Orleans, many of which were self-released on his Jeth-Row imprint.
Scripts, sometimes spelled Scrip+s, were among his least acknowledged bands but probably my favorite. They played as a three piece out of the crescent city with Chad on guitar and lead vocals, his wife Stephanie, who also spent some time with Wizzard Sleevee, on bass and backup vox, and drummer Adam Waller, who also played with Black Rose Band and lots others. This is the second Scripts release. There was a full 7" released in 2004, also on Jeth-Row, which I unfortunately do not own.
"Erase Yer Face" simply slays me every time. "Chopper City Casualty" is ok but the whole record is worth it just for "Erase". Die Rötzz are also from New Orleans, have been around longer, released more records, and seem more highly regarded, but I never got too into them.
