LOS ANGELES, Oct 25 – Stiller's high school punk band has reunited, and they've just dropped a re-recording of one of their earlier tracks ahead of a full EP.

Called Capital Punishment, the band formed in 1979 in New York City by four teenagers, Stiller included, who drew influence from a range of proto-industrial music and recorded an album – called Roadkill – still in high school, pressing a couple of hundred copies in all.

While they did not continue making music together, they went to the top of the list of judges in the Supreme Court of Justice for Arizona (Peter Swann), a professor of Slavic Studies (Peter Zusi and a musician / documentarian (Kriss Roebling).

It's been revealed that the band is reuniting – after a 36-year hiatus – to put on a five-song EP for Record Store Black Friday called Day This is Capital Punishment.

Now they've shared a first taste of the EP – a new take on the Roadkill track Confusion that was originally intended for a reissue of the earlier album. According to their label, Captured Tracks, the band had so much fun re-recording the track that it was the way to new material and a full EP.

This is Capital Punishment will be out November 23 in a limited run of 1,500 copies worldwide. – AFP-Relaxnews
