I just got into this band recently. Is all their stuff always impossible to get?

What are you looking for from them?

If you want a colored copy of Schmaltz that ships from the US, I would keep an eye on the A-F Records page:
http://a-frecords.limitedrun.com/products/610176-spanish-love-songs-schmaltz-lp-mp3
None available now but you can click the "Want an "It's Available!" Email Notification?" link to be notified when they add another, can't imagine you'd have to wait long.

And there is a "beer" copy of BFE on MerchNow at the moment:
https://merchnow.com/products/v2/325717/brave-faces-everyone-beer

It's not as nice as some of the other presses they've had in the past, but it should hold you over for now, especially considering it's only $18 before shipping.

While I was trying to add them both to my cart, OLG sold out. Cool. 🙄

Already sold out lol

Let's all agree: the artwork and the title...could have used a second, third and maybe even fourth opinion from neutral sources before they were settled on. But Somewhere City was solid enough that I think we can give them the benefit of the doubt on this. Very confused why every variant has a black A/B, tho, that feels "weird just to be weird" to me.

Snagged that s/t, glad to have this on wax finally

Def grabbing Cope, Like a Virgin, and Simple Math

I was trying to get one at like 12:15 or whenever it showed up but was having shit luck because every time I tried to pick a shipping method, remove one from my cart that was sold out, checkout, etc, it would freeze. Such a frustrating process, so I gave up, mostly because the lady had made brunch and was a little peeved it was taking so long.

But then I tried again after we ate (1:05), decided my best luck would be to go to the third page and pick the least appealing color combination and, sure enough, that worked, got the email confirmation from MD and my credit card company even though it froze when I submitted my payment.

Like others have said, who knows if that actually means anything and I’ll likely be getting a refund in a bit, but goddammit I tried.

This shit is ridiculous and it would be great if they could just press this normally.

That being said, I’m sure as hell gonna try and get a copy this time.

Also, would love to see another press of Our Color Green, wonder if they’ve even considered doing that.

You can't apply both. At least I failed to do it.

Oh, I didn't mean apply both, just meant it is an alternative. If the first record you're buying for the BOGO offer is relatively expensive, could be more savings with a flat 20% off.

late to the party but that gatecreeper EP is great. Gotta revisit the rest of their stuff.

Def check out Deserted, super solid release from them.

New Bolt Thrower reissues from Metal Blade are up:

This is not a drill!

Grabbed all three, super stoked to finally have these without having to pay the exorbitant Discogs prices 

Hope I see this soon, getting a little antsy seeing everyone else getting their copies.

Bought the merge w/ livestream ticket, I'm actually excited to see them perform at that location. Should be great and I'm happy to support these guys.

I ordered the silver/white corona version from Nuclear Blast. These are German imports so that's why we in the States haven't received them yet. The only photos of these variants I have seen on IG are from collectors in Europe.  - if that is what you were going to inquire about.

Ah, okay, figured as much.  Thank you!

I received it 2 weeks ago, but I'm in Italy

How did it turn out?

Anyone else order Reluctant Hero from Nuclear Blast? The "SILVER/WHITE CORONA" variant, specifically. I see they have another variant in stock currently but was wondering if anyone ordered the pressing that was first announced.

the new black wing album fucking owns 

Sure does. Took everything I liked about ...Is Doomed and made it better, as well as mixing in some newer sounds that were pretty much all slam dunks.

REDUX OF FEELS LIKE YOU AND DISTRESSOR

 

NOW NOW NOW

Nice, glad I was randomly on and spotted this bump. Grabbed both without hesitation.

Where are these mockups?

Someone that I believe is well-connected posted them on a FB group. He requested that they not be shared because “if images get spread too much [he] won’t be able to post previews like this in the future”.

But I recommend joining the New Vinyl Releases FB group.

Hey yall, if you missed out on these last week...

Keep your eyes open lets say. 🤓

Not sure if the mockups I saw are legit, but if they are, they look better than the last group of pressings.

Oh shit

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Except for me it would be FPU > Ex Lives > Low Teens > the rest in descending date order. 

Low Teens took a bit longer to grow on me than those other two, but eventually it claimed the top spot.

First time I saw them was in 2003 opening for Poison the Well along with This Day Forward

Damn, Poison the Well wsg ETID? Sounds amazing. Wish I had caught PTW at some point.

The one thing this forum does a great job of reminding me of, on a regular basis, is that I have awful taste in music haha.

I feel like anytime there is a 'rank their albums' type thing I love everyone else's least favorite.

 

So for this installment of the saga, I will just say that I think New Junk Aesthetic is their best album.  Maybe followed closely by Low Teens.

☠️🙈

Lots of bands say their latest release is their best, which makes sense in theory, but the people who are consuming them usually have differing opinions.

ETID might be the best example of a band for me that actually follows that pattern. I think almost every record they’ve released is better than their last, which is what makes them one of my favorite artists. The only exception would be Hot Damn! > Gutter Phenomenon, imo.

Box is pretty nice, snug fit for all four. Numbering/signature is not on the actual box but on a little slip that goes around it. Will possibly be spinning all four today to hear how they sound.

Repressed and currently only $15:
