We have moved forward into 2011 and have a facebook page now: https://www.facebook.com/wettherope/

Our new album is out on cassette as well as vinyl/digital. You can get in it here: https://adagio830-records.bandcamp.com/album/the-sum-of-our-scars or cheaper in the US from me. Review from strictly no capital letters: punk n hardcore veterans here churn out a fresh and exciting emotional hardcore record. features scott from amber inn / sinker. it's a bit of an update on amber inn, perhaps taking on board more influences from sarah kirsch. big riffs and lots of energy. exciting record, sits nicely with that red hare album that came out the other year.

This is out on cassette now as well. Available from the bandcamp page. You can get these from me. (I won't have the cassette for a week or so, but I have everything else now.) LP - $15ppd (I've got a couple red ones left) Cass - $7ppd LP/shirt - $25ppd Cass/shirt - $17ppd all three - $30ppd

This is out now. Members of Pitchfork (pre-RFTC), Amber Inn, Sinker, Filibuster, Bureau of the Glorious, and about 100 other bands. Sounds like an angrier version of those bands.

Haha. Being a bigot is funny, isn't it?

Nice work VC.

If you think this is what makes releases "special" you should find something else to spend your money on.

Best band. Good to see these back in print.

No. Just, no. What they did in school may or may not have anything to do with they are doing for work.

Speak for yourself. I'm very happy with my career at a non-profit. Sure, I could be making $250k/yr with my graduate degree, but I like to feel good when I go home.

Except this was done w/o the band's ok, so you aren't really supporting the band.

Great every time I saw them. I never got into their post-Ruination recordings, though.

Hey, fuck you.

Of course. I also keep a list of every show I have been to, although pre-1992 is missing a few details. Always fun to pick through and pull out specific bands. 08.19.88 Lazy Cowgirls / Creamers / Operation Ivy / Dwarves / Bhang Revival Gilman Berkeley CA 09.25.88 Operation Ivy CW Saloon San Francisco CA 12.04.88 All / Operation Ivy / Vagrants / Tally Hoe Gilman Berkeley CA 12.23.88 Operation Ivy / Sharkbait / Unit Pride / Breakaway Gilman Berkeley CA 12.26.88 7Seconds / Operation Ivy / Inner Strength Danceteria Sacramento CA ??.??.89 Dead Milkmen / Operation Ivy Berkeley Square Berkeley CA 03.22.89 Operation Ivy / Samiam Berkeley Square Berkeley CA 04.15.89 Gwar / Operation Ivy / Yeastie Girls / Popstitutes / Econochrist Gilman Berkeley CA 05.28.89 Operation Ivy / Lookouts / Green Day / Surrogate Brains / Crimpshrine Gilman Berkeley CA

I saw them play about 10 times, including the "last" show at Gilman. Bought the LP the night it came out (David Hayes had them at a show in Davis, CA) before anyone at Gilman had a copy. Went back to a friend's house and rocked it multiple times at 2:00AM.

That song is pretty good (other than Lint's comical accent.) But please no Op Ivy reunion. Let's leave the good memories of that band as they are.

Shaun Lopez is easy to find and he did not know about this until last week. Shitty way to do business.

Ahh, didn't realize there was another Hum thread.

Should I have read the previous 19 pages? I thought that statement from Talbott was new.

From the band:
