Reppin'

So a month or so i was lucky enough to snag a Pink copy of the Sainthood Reps lp "Monoculture" from hot topic.  The white had already long sold out and i had it in the back of my head to search for it. Well, luckily it didn't take long as a white copy out of 108 popped up on ebay, with a buy it now for like 12 bucks!  So here it is, lucky me.

 This record was actually recorded in the basement of Mike Sapone, who lives in my town.  I'm proud to know this was recorded near me as it is one of the best Long Island releases to come out in the last 10 years.

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.
