The first pressing of the Constantines’ self-titled (and Juno Award-nominated) debut (released on Three Gut Records in 2001 and re-released outside of Canada on Sub Pop in 2004) was fittingly packaged so that, upon opening the red cardstock booklet, you’d find a single strike-anywhere match.

This from Magnet magazine: “They’re young offenders with sharpened teeth who make grinding, literate punk with the elasti-to-explosive guitars heard on Fugazi’s ‘Smallpox Champion’, the stark lyrical economy of a Vonnegut-penned newspaper obituary…” and “The Constantines are old souls in young bodies – guys in their early 20s who sound like Joe Strummer backed by Fugazi – making music that wakes the sleeping and the dead.”

‘Shine A Light’ was the Constantines’ second full length and their first for Sub Pop.

This 11th anniversary vinyl reissue includes a bonus 7” featuring tracks from the ‘Nighttime’ and ‘Young Lions’ CD singles.

LP includes MP3 coupon.
