From an interview with franz:
[http://www.punknews.org/article/31300]
Are there any World/Inferno b-sides that haven't come out?
Pretty much of everything World/Inferno has done has come out or have been leaked. There were some demos that were leaked, so people got their hands on that. Trains, which was on the vinyl version of ‘Red-Eyed Soul’, it was a big waltzy accordion ballad that I'm really proud of personally, I think it was one of the best songs I've ever written. There is an acapella project that we did a couple years ago called Vox Inferne, this guy that I know through The Dresden Dolls, I think he's their label guy at Roadrunner, I've known him on and off through those guys for a while and I ran into him drunk somewhere, I forget how it came up, but it came up this Dutch millionaire who runs Roadrunner had this idea that what the world needed was an updated, but anacharonistic acapella group. And I was like, "Are you serious?", cause we'd always joked in World/Inferno about starting a barbershop quartet, me, Jack, Peter, Yula or whoever. And he was like, "Well, if you're serious, I'll email him, and see if he's serious." And I said ask him if he's thinking of the Comedian Harmonists, this Weimar-era, 1920s German vocal group, I think they were a 10 or 12 piece and they imitated all the instruments, they were obsessed with American jazz, and they went under with the rise of the Nazis because they loved American jazz and that was unclean music. They're a great group and we've been fans of them in World/Inferno for a very long time.
So I got an email back from this guy saying "He's into it, I got you a demo budget, record three songs, let's do it!" Vox Inferne ended up myself, Jack, Peter Hess and Yula, and two ringers, more professional trained singers, a tenor named George Wright and a bass named Ray Bailey and we recorded three tracks. We did an acapella version of "Paul Robeson" and two original tracks that have never been heard, which me and Peter wrote the music to and Jack wrote the lyrics. So, I don't know... there have been a couple attempts, we've tried to pull it off live at the Halloween shows and it didn't end up happening, because we couldn't find the other singers and then there was an idea of pressing it up and putting it out free at next year's Halloween show. I think they're great tracks, and I'm really excited for them to come out some day.

They're real, I just think only people close to the band/in the band have them.
Never heard them, but I know one or two people who have.

at hallowmas 05 wasn't there that barbershop quartet that did a couple inferno songs? i believe pumpkin time was one of them. i don't think it had anything to do with this seeing as no members of the band were involved with that but it was still really neat seeing the songs done in that style.

Dont worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

The closest thing to a barber shop quartet that i can remember from that show is pat hannigan doing hits of helium off the helium tank in the back area of the outside part of the club.
I've heard these (don't have them though). They're pretty good, but man did i laugh pretty hard when all of sudden a barber shop version of "paul robeson" was randomly being played.

I remember Franz mentioning these on the board awhile ago, also condeming people for not liking "Reputations" becasue he said it could have been a great charleston esque song like weimar, and also mentioning something about a cassio keyboard bjork (I think? A female singer who I had heard of before) style version of "Jersey".

Every time I hear about a new World/Inferno song, I think "it's probably the final version from those acapella songs", but it never is.

A) it is NOT the cover of those recordings.
B) something else WOULD be a hell of a cover.
C) paging Rain.

don't be such an art snob. 
hi guys. I haven't been on the board in FOREVER, but someone emailed me about this image on my website, so i thought i would see if the board was talking about it...
This is the cover actually. I made it. Franz asked me to draw it back in like 2005. And Hey, I think its pretty good, granted i could probally do better now....
As far as i know they recorded some tracks but never released them. I never even got to hear them!
Thats my 3 cents!

Sorry Sara, Jack also had Rain do a cover for 2005 that we were going to use. I'll see if I can dig it up.

I was looking for a picture of Jack so I could put his head on the body of a barbershop quartet singer on Paint. This was unsuccessful, but I did find this:
