Song List:
I saw several shows with these guys, and of all the bands around Long Beach in the early 90's, they were easily the best, but Reel Big Fish is the one that got signed (This is the band referred to in the latter's one-minute ode "SR"). Okay, so there was also Sublime and No Doubt, but they weren't exactly the same scene. To sum up, I dig these guys a whole lot.
I got a copy of this in trade from a guy who wanted the Joker Pickle's Reaction demo. I got the better deal, because this has a lot more material, and is recorded and mixed far better. This is an album quality recording, followed by several live tracks. I don't have the cover or liner notes, so I have no recording information.
Later, thanks to this page, I got one of several emails requesting a copy. When I told the guy I had a cassette copy and not the original CD, he decided to keep on looking. He found the CD on Ebay, sent me another email informing me of his find, then he burned me a copy and sent it to me for free! Easily the coolest person I ever came across on the net.
Most recently, I'm now in contact with Dennis who plays bass in BlowUpBlow, and he says he still has copies of this CD, as well as the band that followed, Action League, which I'll have up once I get a copy of my own.
Of all the things I have, the SR demo has generated at least half the email requests I get, which I find amazing! I've gotten so many, it inspired me to put together this list of excerpts:

...I was doing a search on Joker Pickle's Reaction. I used to see them at shows a few years ago and unfortunately didn't get to buy any of their material. I was wondering if it were possible that I get a copy of your tape...I just came across a Suburban Rhythm tape and remember they used to play together in the early 90's...

...What can you tell me about Suburban Rhythm?? I've gotten a few songs off of Napster and LOVE it. I've heard of them for years from bands as Sublime, RBF, Slightly Stoopid, The Ziggens, Secret Hate, Toasters and others in the area.

I've been looking for a copy of a Suburban Rhythm recording for quite a while. Your web page is the first time I've found anything that even mentions it...
- George6 Feb, 2001:
...I was wondering if you had any info on where I can get a copy of some sort. I tried downloading some of their songs, but I couldn't get songs like 18 inch Ruler... I've been trying to find their music for the longest time, and nobody knew who they were...
- Brenda24 Jul, 2001:
...I really liked them a lot. I've got their 7", but never got their post-humus CD...
- Brent27 Sep, 2001:
