Rectifier has been a gigging punk rock band in the California North Bay since 2014. After a number of lineup changes the band now consists of original member Hamish Simpson on guitar and lead vocals, Erik Michaelsen (Stylites on Stage) on bass and backing vocals, and Phil Meulrath (ManBearPig) on drums.
As of writing we're rebuilding and relearning our setlist. Feel free to check us out on facebook (facebook.com/rectifythis) and bandcamp (click the "discog" link) and get yrself some free music.

We've been rehearsing a new lineup the last few months learning songs I haven't played since the start of Covid. If we're not too old we'll have some shows by the end of the year. How have you been?

Hopefully yr all staying safe from Coronavirus. It's killing live music but better that than killing people. :)
Life is being breathed back into the beast. Details soon. :)
Time for another reset I'm afraid. See you on the other side.
A rare update to the page indeed. Well we have a show coming up at the end of the month. We're playing with the almighty Over The Falls in a brewery with a food truck. Seriously, it's early evening and you're tucking the kids in by nine tops.
The night is organized by One Warm Coat, an organization that helps folks in need, by getting people like us to show up, with a coat donation, drink beer, eat food, and listen to three hours of the punkest rock this side of metaldom!!! I ASK YOU!! Would you like to come?
Come check us out in Penngrove on Friday. Publiquors supporting, then us playing every damn song we know. Deets are over in the "Shows" tab, and the full album is available now for free streaming/download at the "Discog" tab.
Twin Oaks has great beer and food, a cool beer garden, and a nice setup for an intimate punk rock show. Start your weekend right, with a cool local show. :)
Cheers

It's official kiddies. Rectifier is all pro and stuff. Welcome to our official home on teh interwebz which I promise will be regularly updated whenever I can be bothered.
In the meantime, grab a complimentary donut (while supplies last) and have a poke around. There's Facepoop and mailing list links in the shadowy corner in the bottom left. Sign up for the mailing list and see what happens. Then let me know because I tried it and it doesn't seem to do anything yet.
Did you get the new album yet? Click on the "Discog" link where you can download both albums for free, gratis, nada, zip, zilch, zero, (or zillions if yr so inclined). The only payment we need is your adulation, so be sure to tell all yr friends how awesome we are, or how awesome we'd like people to think we are, whichever is the more awesome.
Feliz Viernes proles. :)
