-The Nads "Osama Bin Laden For Prez, Now it is 2004" CD: Released in August 2003 DIY. NADS-CDR-008. This CD was two years in the making. The album cover art work is a Orwell style dystopia. The concept is, the fear of terrorism is what will elect the president of the United States in the 2004 election, not the needs of the people. This album has 99 songs and 52mins of music. This is the first Nads CD to hit the college radio charts, reaching #11 on CKCU, and included in the best of 2003 year end program. This CD ranked #10 for best album of 2003 in the Ottawa Sun, as well I was interviewed in the Sun for this album. Xpress gave the album a good review, and Exclaim says "Jason Ramone... has created one of the strangest, potentially offensive, and arguably most brilliant albums you will here all year". 

-Slaughter House Records "Disharmony Scene" Compilation CD: Released in June 2003 DIY. This CD isn't for the weak-boweled and features 17 tracks of brutality courtesy of: The Nads, Din-Addict (Hungary), Fuck The Facts, Crack Sandwich, Endless Struggle (Singapore), False Lead, Skinfish, The Donner Party and Burnt Beyond.You can get a copy at any show announced on the Slaughter House Records website for $5.

-The Nads "Fifth Anniversary Live" CD: Released in April 2003 DIY. NADS-CDR-007. It includes 16 live tracks of The Nads fifth anniversary show live in Cornwall on July 21st 2002 with the Millennium Project and No Other Way at Murphy's Inn. There are bonus cover songs, including a Misunderstood? cover, and a track of the first time The Nads CD was ever played on CKCU radio in Ottawa. This is a low-fi album that documents the live show with the star guitar. A few years later The Nads would play live in the studios of CKCU and produce a high quality CD.

-Kick'em While They're Down Vol. 2 Comp CD: Released in April 2003 and pressed at Healey Disc. The compilation features: The Nads, along with bands like The Queers (Lookout, Hopless Recs), Dwarves (Epitaph Recs), Moral Crux, Ripcordz, Dayglo Abortions, Riptides, District 7, Regulars, Vapids, Transit, and a total of 31 bands and over 75 mins of punk rock! The Nads song on this CD is "Joey Ramone". Indie Pool is distributing the comp CD across Canada, and you can also order the C.D. online at InterPunk. The May 2003 Exclaim Newspaper ranked the CD at #35 that month. Thanks to Goblin Records and The Riptides for helping The Nads out, it is a dream to be on this CD!

-The Manufacturing Dissent Compilation CD:  Released in September 2002 and pressed at Healey Disc. The compilation features: The Nads, the Soft Disaster, After the Troops Leave, The Creeps, Sonora, F#ck the Facts (FTF), Zephyr, Gay as the Day is Long, Moss, The Donner Party, Shatnr, Red Hemsley, Faraday, The Joynt, Radiodazed, Billy Boone, Jacob Earl, Loveless, Organized Chaos, and Pork Meringue. The Nads song on is "I'm not a Gee-Gee". Thanks to Meagan Butler for getting The Nads onto this CD.

-Ghetto Blast Comp Compilation CD: Released in June of 2002 DIY. It features The Nads song "Joey Ramone"; along with Fuck the Facts (Ottawa), Dysmorfic (Italiy), Goldar, CuntGrinder (Germany), Kadaverficker (Germany), Gramd Facade (USA), and Mersrine (Montreal). A total of 8 artists perform 13 songs in about 20 mins. The comp features mostly metal, grindcore, and hardcore music. The Nads synth style really sticks out on this already crazy and amazing comp CD. Thanks to Topon of Ghetto Blast Records for getting me on a CD with international bands!

-The Nads "Joey Ramone E.P." CD: Released in March 2002 DIY. NADS-CDR-006. It features songs that have appeared on CU comps, on my website, on the radio, and it also has previously unreleased songs too! The album is a tribute to Joey Ramone, and hence the song "Joey Ramone". It also features an unreleased track entitled "Jello Biafra vs. Tipper Gore", as well as the Pinanosaurus Rex song "Poetry in Motion". The C.D. is E.P length at about 15mins, and has a lot of my best material over the past two years featured on it. The C.D. Release Party was in Ottawa at the Underground, and that was the night I met Meagan Butler. Meagan helped get my CD played on the radio, and she got me some future shows.

-The Cornwall Underground Comp Vol. 2 CD: Released in August 2001 DIY. NADS-CDR-005. Bands not featured on the first C.D. but on the CU2 are Nevergreen, Korruption, Misunderstood?, Mofo, etc. The Nads song on this CD is TrenchCoat McCarthyism. This album took 2 weeks to sellout, and Misunderstood? organized the show that functioned as the C.D. Release Party! Thanks to Neil of Point of No Return, Julie, and the sponsorship of Melody Music and Orbit Skateshop. Also special thanks to Shawn & Mellisa for helping to "package" the c.d.'s. This C.D. has higher sound quality, more bands, and more secret tracks.

-Pianosaurus Rex "Hardcore for the Whole Family" CD: Recorded in March 2001 DIY. The Pianosaurus Rex album features an all star band of no stars! The lead singer is Jason Ramone of The Nads, the keyboard player is David Moon from Instant Ninja, Phil Bennett of A Smile for Weakness is on guitar, and Alex Loveday of Bullet Train is on drums. Alex came up with the name "Pianosaurus Rex", so it is really his band. Pianosaurus Rex has been described as a sick sounding version of The Doors. This 4 song E.P is from our first band practice EVER! The Pianosaurus Rex song "Poetry in Motion" appears on The Nads "Joey Ramone E.P", and Jason Ramone turns "Emo Boy, Emo Girl" into a Nads song when the band breaks up. In 2004 Pianosaurus Rex reforms with a couple of original members and is a completely different sounding band.

-The Nads "Rotten Apples for Harris" CD: Released in March 2001 DIY. NADS-CDR-004. The album cover has Jason Ramone (with rotten apples in hand), with Chirs Wattie, protesting a visit to Cornwall by Ontario premier Mike Harris. This C.D. has 14 tracks, plus a bonus track, an entire Nads concert live at Murphy's Inn.  The songs are recorded at a higher sound quality. Phil Bennett composes the guitar and drums on three of the tracks. Songs included are: I'm not a Gee-Gee, Gap Girl, Project Truth, WTO Protest Song, Rock N' Roll Wesley Willis, Ontario Uber Alles, and much more!

-The Nads "Old School" CD: Released in November 2000 DIY. NADS-CDR-003. This CD has 35 old school songs. Including original versions of Soccer Mom, Chop Chop UFO, etc. on acoustic guitar (remixed from original cassettes demos between 1997-1999). It also has cover songs from the Nads 1999-2000 cassette, Saturday Night Fever, as well as unreleased tracks, and live tracks, and bonus demo tracks from the Nads new blue "star guitar". Any Nads fan will still get a good kick out of this album.

-The Nads "Demo" CD: Released in June 2000 DIY. NADS-CDR-001. This was my first CD under Eat Your Veggies Productions. The C.D. has 19 songs including such hits as Soccer Mom, Chop Chop UFO, and Mohawk Boy. Many of the songs were created with a midi program called Jamming Keys. The quality of this album is very low-fi, and like all my early CD's has a black and white cover. Thanks to Rob for burning The Nads songs onto a CD.
