If you love the work of the Crutchfield sisters Allison and Katie (Waxahatchee), then this comprehensive collection of their earlier work as PS Eliot is for you. Their talents as nascent writers and performers shine throughout. Enjoy.
Favorite track: sore subject.
P.S. Eliot 2007 - 2011: An Oral History is the 75-page zine published to accompany the band's 2016 double-disc discography compilation. Featuring 24 interviews with members P.S. Eliot, Cheeky, Screaming Females, Hop Along, The So So Glos, and more, the oral history tells the story of the band's beginnings, recordings, and tours. "Their story is one of Southern teen feminist outsiders coming into their own personal politics, learning to speak out, leaving their hometown, and finding their community," writes Liz Pelly in the introduction. "It is a story of how all-ages community art spaces can open doors for young people. How male-dominated hardcore scenes can be truly oppressive, but finding it within yourself to push back can be life-changing. How failed first tours can be platforms for self-education." A must-read for superfans of P.S. Eliot, Waxahatchee, and Swearin that will also generally interest anyone who loves to read about feminist punk communities, DIY micro scenes, teen rockers, or the all-ages movement.

Sisters Katie and Allison Crutchfield formed P.S. Eliot in Birmingham, Alabama in 2007. Hoping to tour as much as possible, the band began traveling the country shortly after self-releasing it’s first set of songs, the Bike Wreck demo.
After a few early lineup changes, the core group would come to include the Crutchfield sisters (Katie on guitar and vocals, Allison on drums), bassist Katherine Simonetti, and guitarist Will Granger. It was this version of the band that appeared on P.S. Eliot’s first full-length, Introverted Romance In Our Troubled Minds, which came out in 2009 on Salinas Records.
Following a full US tour with Philadelphia’s Hop Along, the quartet recorded a 5-song EP, Living In Squalor, and continued to do shorter trips, including one with Houston’s Football, Etc. In 2010, P.S. Eliot recorded and released its second and final LP, Sadie, which was also released on Salinas. After completing that recording session, Granger left the band. Allison and Katie relocated to Brooklyn, NY and did one last tour as P.S. Eliot in 2011 with Big Eyes. The group called it quits for good later that year, following goodbye shows in Brooklyn and New Brunswick, NJ.
This set gathers the band’s complete recordings, including both LPs, the Living in Squalor 7” (which will be available digitally for the first time), the Bike Wreck demo, as well as a number of home recordings. All have been digitally remastered. Mail-orders will also include an exclusive zine featuring an oral history of the band assembled by Liz Pelly.
