Plenty of New Stuff

So I got several new things in the past 2 weeks or so. First up I got the pre-order for the Forfeit LP on Reaper.

I just picked up the pre-order color, and I'm happy I only picked up one copy of it because this LP disappoints me. I loved the 7" they put out on Reaper and this band has been very good live the few times I've seen them. So I had hopes for their LP release; they weren't met. It's just not at as emotional and raw as the 7". It's still a solid hardcore record, but it doesn't hold a candle to the 7". Props to Reaper for giving me so much with the pre-order. It came with that poster on the right in the picture, and a bunch of other little things. I also picked up the Trapped Under Ice Stay Cold 7" finally.

This is the third press on clear limited to probably like 1,000 or 2,000 or something. It took me a while to finally get this one. Solid 7" and very solid band, every release has been great.

Probably the thing I'm most stoked on getting is finally getting my hands on a copy of Uniform Choice's Screaming for a Change.

I believe this is the second press because of the green writing on the cover, but I'm not sure what it's limited to. If anyone knows please let me know. Also, because I think this album is that good I've got a link for you to download it:

I picked up the Mob Mentality demo tape at a show.

It's put out by Trash King Productions. I believe the band has members of Lion of Judah, Mindset and others that I cant think of right now. I'm not really into it, it's a little too slow for me, but when I saw them live it was pretty good. The tape looks awesome though. They also had the Disengage tape for sale, and I'm kicking myself for not getting it. Disengage is a straight edge band from Wilkes-Barre, PA featuring members of Title Fight and Bad Seed. It sounds decent.

Next Up I got two more Effort records to add to the collection. First is a copy of From Our Mistakes 7"

This I believe is the "snot" color, 2nd press limited to 50 copies, but I'm not totally sure. It looks pretty dope either way. I think Hellfish did an awesome job with this one.

Next up is the Record Release cover of the Wear Your Heart 7".

I was surprised how little I had to pay for this on eBay. It definitely was a great deal. This only makes the 2nd version of the 1st press that I have, so I've got plenty more to pick up.

THIS IS HARDCORE

Had an awesome time once again in the city of brotherly love. Some highlights included Floorpunch, Pulling Teeth and The Carrier. Also seeing how much bigger TUI and Cold World are than last year was kinda scary. The fest sold out this year and so many more kids were there. Rad. I'm a little bummed I missed Friday and the beginning of Saturday, but it was still worth it. Ok so I didn't spend as much as last year, and I showed some restraint actually. That being said I still picked up plenty of stuff. Here they are one by one.

First is the old True Colors LP I finally decided to pick up from Six Feet Under Records. This is the most common version, out of 355 copies. Solid band. I hope that Dave from SFU puts out the new LP. These guys need a permanent U.S. label. Currency exchange rates and shipping to the U.S. just make ordering from Powered so difficult. Read Mike's post about the newer LP here.

Ok, so I don't think I need to explain this one. Probably gonna be the biggest album in hardcore this year on Gold/Peach/Beer type color out of 200. Supposedly this was pressed for Sound & Fury and they just had copies left over.

This is one I was really happy to find at the Deathwish table. This is the blue multi-splatter limited to like 150 or something like that. This is just an amazing looking vinyl, once I saw it I knew I needed to have it. Check out my other post on the record release version of this vinyl here.

This is a special version of the new Mother of Mercy record made specifically for TIH I believe. Limited to like 60 or something. Very cool screen-printed cover, though it is rather flimsy.

This is the The Carrier 7" release on Deathwish with a special cover for TIH. Mine's number 32/51. One of the highlights for me this weekend was being able to see this band. I highly recommend checking them out.

This is a recent release from SFU, a Japanese band called As We Let Go. Awesome hardcore along the lines of Guns Up! This is the orange limited to 209 copies.

Here's another recent SFU release. The new Foundation 7". This Atlanta straight-edge band is starting to get a lot of attention. This is a great release. This version is limited to 308 copies.

This is the Go It Alone/Blue Monday Split released on Rivalry. 2nd press, 1525 copies. Just wanted to have this. Nothing special.

This is The Effort 7" released on Hellfish. Not sure what the pressing info is on this one. Posted about in the past here.

This is the Forfeit 7" released by Reaper. I've been meaning to pick this up, it's been out for over a year now. I actually think they were out of them at last year's TIH, only had the CDs. CDs are rubbish. Anyway, great band you should already know about.

Here's another Reaper release, Naysayer 7" with a limited TIH cover. I posted about it before here.

Mine's numbered 43/50.

Another Pulling Teeth release. This is the split with Frightener released on A389. Pretty self-explanatory.

This is another SFU release. The Adult Crash book with the 7" on black, 926 copies.
