This debut album was written and recorded with a very vintage/analog approach and a mindstate that follows the saying “good music is good music” no matter what genre it is.

Single Bullet Theory - Das Madchen
The early 70s was a Golden Age in the Fan District, an area of Richmond, Virginia where art students, hipsters and street people set the cultural tone of the city’s music scene. At the heart of the Fan was Virginia Commonwealth University and its renowned art school. It was the focal point of the art scene and a magnet that pulled musicians into bands, and a pool of young people that formed their audience, often at spontaneous events. It was a time when word-of-mouth could draw one or two hundred people or more to free warehouse parties.
At the nucleus of this scene was Single Bullet Theory, a band formed in 1976 by three members from bands who had been in the forefront of the early-70s Richmond original music scene. Frank Daniel, Dennis Madigan and Michael Maurice Garrett (along with soundman Z) had been together since 1971, in the bands Big Naptar (a very loose, experimental, art rock group), which morphed into Crossbreed and, later, X-Breed, who began to garner a larger following, playing a mix of eclectic covers (MC5, Pretty Things, Troggs, V.U., The Move, Terry Reid and Kevin Ayers) as well as their own garage-punkish original songs.
Single Bullet Theory refined the sound of these earlier bands, while retaining the loose, high energy and high volume (often with three guitars). They expanded their cred and audience by continuing to play (and often organizing) free warehouse parties, $1-$2 admission bar gigs, and opening for (and sometimes touring with) national acts such as The Ramones, The Talking Heads, The Stranglers and The Patti Smith Group.
SBT: 1977-1980 is a collection of Bullet songs, recorded at various studios, with the help of several different producers and engineers. It includes four tracks from the band’s eponymous named 12-inch, 45-rpm debut EP. “Das Madchen” was recorded as a demo in 1981, just months before the band was signed to Nemporer Records. “Keep It Tight”, the first single to be released from that album, reached 84 on Billboard Magazine’s Hot 100.
