Verse

 

Verse is fucking awesome. Always have been. In recent years people kinda wrote them off, what with half the band breaking edge and them breaking up then reforming. Whatever, i could give a shit. They still make great music with smart lyrics.  This is the demo, where it all started.  The recording is noticeably shitty, but fuck it i was bedroom moshing to nothing more and let it all rust when i spun it. Nothing standout about the packaging to not. However, The label did include something that i think should be mandatory for all labels. See that white paper at the top? Yea thats the pressing info.  Per that this record is limited to 383 copies.  

Sup bro?

 

So I only just recently discovered Errortype:11.  Fuck, I had been really missing out on this band. Its like a mix of Quicksand and Mind Over Matter! I heard one song somewhere and I was hooked.  Unfortunately its very difficult to find most of their stuff to download online, and even harder to find vinyl of it.  I did find this 10" on ebay and got it for like 10 bucks. Apparently I could have gotten it from REV brand new, but whatever. Im happy to have it.  I am openly collecting this band now so anyone who can help please comment!  

Hope Con

 

I am sad that i have never seen the Hope Conspiracy.  All their records are fucking awesome and I can only image how awesome they must be live. This is their most recent record thats not really all that recent anymore. Perfect mid-2000's hardcore when it wasn't just about moshing hard but it was about emotion too.  I think i read something about them making a new record or touring soon, but I cant remember exactly. But i do know i need to pick up all their prior material on vinyl. 

Bouncing Souls

Yo this is the new Bouncing Souls record called comet. I love the souls. I have had some great times of my life that I can attribute to this band.  I had taken a picture of the front cover of this lp, but it didnt upload correctly and im too fucking lazy right now to retake it. This is inside the gatefold and its fucking awesome.  Overall this lp is pretty good, but it has to have THE WORST song the souls have ever written on it, called "we love fun".  Seriously? The lyrics are so fucking dumb and the song is just too corny and obvious.  I mean you guys are the fucking bouncing souls, we know you love fun. No need to hurt my ears with a lame ass song about it. goddamn. 

Happy 10 Years!

Whoa I almost missed it. 10 years ago this month I made my ebay account.  So much money spent because of this account. I'm afraid to think how much. I still remember my 1st purchase on ebay....Anti-Flag's "Die for the Goverment' on CD! Haha. Funny how times change. Anyway, 324 positive feedback and counting!

War All The Time

 

Thursday is one of the first 2 bands that I first started listening to when i got into "alternative" music. It was them and Taking Back Sunday that opened the doors for me.  Ill never forget the first Thursday show i went to, as it was my first real show ever and TBS also played. It was in january 2002 at the Sahara (rip) in Syosset on Long Island.  The whole show was such a blur but I remember it being amazing and I was immediately hooked.  Anyway, I've followed thursday's material and pretty much loved everything.  I slept on buying a copy of War all the Time when it came on out Vinyl, but a recent trip to hot topic in november(not that recent i guess) led me to buy the Hot Topic exclusive color of it. 

RIP Thursday.

Destined for anything!

 

This fucking record took me so long to get its stupid.  I've seen LLT a couple times, once when all they had out was Destined for Anything and then maybe 2 more times after Runaways came out.  I dunno why but i was never that into them, I had the cd of this record and i had the LP of runaways but i never game them much attention.  Well a few years after they broke up I revisted DFA and i fell in love with it.  Its so hard but yet so emotional at the same time.  The first song has me moshing in my room every time.  After the revistitation i decided i needed the LP.  This proved difficult as no one had it on their HYE lists and it wasnt popping up on ebay.  Finally after maybe a year or so It finally popped up and i forgot to fucking bid! Then a few months later this one popped up. I wasnt missing it so i set a bid and waited.  The seller only posted a picture of the cover with no pic of the lp and no color description.  So it ended pretty low and I won it.  Super happy.
