About The Bands:Secret Hate was a punk rock band based in Long Beach, California, which initially contributed two tracks to the Hell Comes to Your House compilation in 1981, as well as an EP, Vegetables Dancing on the now-defunct New Alliance Records. “The Ballad of Johnny Butt”, the fourth track on Vegetables Dancing, was covered by Sublime for their eponymous major label debut in 1996. Secret Hate broke up shortly afterward, but reformed in the late 1990s in order to release a full-length LP entitled Pop Cult Vomit, which was released on Cornerstone R.A.S., a subsidiary of Skunk Records. The songs on this album are from 2000 and were never released until now. The drummer Rick Selga passed away a few years ago and told singer Mike Davis that he would like the songs to be released along with some of his friend’s bands contributing. Mike Davis contacted his friend and fellow Gluefactory member Greg “Mudd” Lowther and together they put out this record as a tribute to their friend. https://www.facebook.com/p/Secret-Hate-100063647310060/Hamapple is a punk rock band formed in Long Beach, California, in 2016.
