The No Good Sessions

No Good is the working title for an unreleased recording project by American powerpop band, The Paper Jets.

History
Following the unexpected departure of bassist Scottie Maloney, singer Brian Erickson and guitarist Bill Lambusta quickly entered the studio to try recording a short, rock-oriented EP before undertaking the inevitably-grueling process of mixing their album, Pictures Like This One. Sessions were aborted before any drum tracking could be done, therefore this remains a rare Paper Jets session on which drummer Frank Lettieri has no direct involvement.

Songs Recorded (Composer)
1. Elizabeth Distressed (Erickson/Lambusta)

2. No Good (Lambusta)

3. No Good #2 (Lambusta)

4. Set of Rules (Erickson)

5. It's Only Talk (Erickson/Fiedler)

6. Strange Friends Pt. II (Erickson)

7. Untitled Piano Song (Erickson/Lambusta)

8. Take it All Back (Erickson/Fiedler)

Aftermath
The sessions ended following Lambusta's departure from the band in March 2011, though recording hadn't taken place since January. Lambusta's songs remain unreleased, while Erickson refashioned "Set of Rules," and "It's Only Talk," for inclusion on The Paper Jets album, We Are All Strange Friends.

Potential Release
The most likely candidate for official release would be, "Elizabeth Distressed," as it was worked on during the sessions for - but ultimately left off of - the Strange Friends album. "Lemonade," was also fully finished. All other songs remain in various stages of completion.
