PITCHMAN "SELF TITLED" 7"
PITCHMAN was a short-lived, frenzied, and fiercely determined high school punk rock band whose life spanned one year in 1992-1993 around Washington DC.
Aaron, Gabe and Matt had been playing together in various forms since meeting in the magnet program at Eastern Middle School but only gelled as a band with the introduction of Drée. As both the singer and the only girl in the band, she exploded all preconceptions with a wild and fearless stage presence that was equally so far beyond her years and squarely testament to the raw power of being 16 years old.
The band played less than 20 shows with highlights including sharing bills with Circus Lupus, Born Against, Slant Six, God is My Co-Pilot, Cupid Car Club, and comrade kid bands Smooch and The Vaporizers. They played St. Stephens Church, APE Embassy, Club Heaven, basements, the Mountain Lodge, and more.
Their first show was in September 1992 and they broke up in August 1993 when Aaron went to college. Members quickly went on to other projects including Mob Action, Meta-Matics, Idiot Symptoms, and others.
Limited edition of 200, pressed and funded by the band themselves in 2023.

This modest release fills a very small hole in punk rock history. If you like it, please go find the teenagers playing punk music in your town and listen to them.
