Brand new weaponry

So maybe a month ago i was on my phone at work when i got an e-mail from Shop Radio Cast that they had the repress of Brand New's "Your Favorite Weapon" back in stock.  Knowing that the regular presses go for literally hundreds of dollars, I knew this was my only chance to own it for a reasonable price.  This record itself actually goes for over 30 on ebay!

The coolest part of this is the embossed title of the lp on the lower front of the sleeve.  God i get so nostalgic when i look at this record, brings me back to being a teenager on long island.

Hot topic to the rescue?

When I first heard about the Sainthood Reps I didnt give them any attention at all. Maybe about a year after their album was released I checked it out. I immediately fell in love with it as it felt like an extension of Brand New and really had that defining Long Island sound that I love. I went out to buy the LP only to find out that it hadn't been released on vinyl yet(i hadn't done my homework) so I bought the cd.

I recently deleted all my social media outlets so it's been difficult to keep up when things are being released. But i was looking through Incendiary's twitter, which brought me to the reps twitter. Where I found out that Monoculture had been released on vinyl.....a month an a half before. I saw on their tumblr that all the limited pressings had already sold out and was bummed about it. For whatever reason i checked the hot topic store(their had been a hot topic exclusive color) and saw that they still had it in stock, in spite of the reps tumblr saying it was sold out. I immediately bought it and 4 days late it arrived in all its glory.

I need to put this record on repeat and take a night drive to Montauk.
