Damn, missed out on the Bannon. You turn your head away for one minute ...

Nice. No disrespect to the classics, but Unorthodox is one of my all-time favorite hardcore records to come out of NYC. I probably still know the words to most of the songs.

In case one of you is still looking for that Spy 7": https://deadtankrecords.com/collections/7inch/products/spy-service-weapon-7

The Chisel - Retaliation repress has been up for a day or two, blue /200 still available: https://lavidaesunmus.bandcamp.com/album/retaliation

Hourglass discography up: https://immigrantsunrecords.merchnow.com/

$15 for a 7"? That's the antithesis of punk rock. Damn.

I'd be happy to settle for Fused Together (although that's on Robotic, but why not) and Clients. I used to see those guys live a bunch around the time those two records came out and then kinda lost interest. I should actually revisit the other two.

I really can't wait to see Age of Apocalypse live, I can only imagine how crushing they sound on stage. Great mix of Only Living Witness and Life of Agony with a little extra 90s crossover sauce mixed in.

The Red Chord is confirmed for this June's Metal & Beer Fest. Perhaps we'll finally see a release of their discography on vinyl on the occasion!

They are pressing a LOT of units of this release, around 10k it looks like. Pretty astonishing for a supergroup side project, despite the relative popularity of Amenra and Neurosis. I applaud the optimism (and I like the preview track, I bought it instantly), but so far only the tri-color merge /237 has sold out.

Looks like the DW Red/ Black mix /300 is also available (again?). Will definitely be at the Brooklyn show. And I wouldn't be surprised if they add a second if the first one sells fast.

I just got my copy of H&G with the numbered Paul Romano wrap from Revolver and it looks really fucking good in person, especially the silver ink. Glad I went for it. It's still available if anyone's on the fence: https://shop.revolvermag.com/products/mastodon-hushed-and-grim-2lp?_pos=16&_sid=efec4f250&_ss=r

Sorry, still new here. Last time I posted a link someone insinuated that I was making it too easy for bots haha.

Isle of Wisdom preorders are live from the band's webshop (black only) and Napalm Records (purple and marble w slipmat). Really looking forward to this! Conundrum was one of my surprise discoveries of 2020 and the first single from the new album sounds like a continuation of the sound.

I'm gonna take a wild, wild stab at this ... could it be that vinyl production is delayed? Relax.

Hmm, I can't find the old Blue Collar site anymore. There's a printer called Blue Collar based in Lawrence, KS, perhaps that's what became of BCI? (Wasn't it run by Sean Ingram? At least that's what I always assumed.) Oxbow has a merchtable store, but no vinyl left.

Yeah can't imagine it would look better than the tri-color, even if it's matching colors.

Rarewaves order refunded due to inventory error haha. Womp womp. Repress in 8-10 weeks though.

Good one, ordered. Now I just need to find a copy of Thin Black Duke ...

True, Sing My Loves was a great addition to the set list.

Antenna is an interesting turning point in Cave In's discography. At the time it came out, it turned off a lot of old fans because the record was trying very hard to appeal to a wider audience. Because that's what you're supposed to do when you are on a major label. It was supposed to be Cave In's Glow On--they did a late show appearance, they played festivals, they released singles. But then when record sales didn't meet the label's expectations, they got dropped like a hot potato. (At that time, selling 100K units was considered a failure I guess. I remember that number being bandied about.) And it seemed like the band went through a phase of real disillusionment and took a while to recover artistically. Long story short, it was a disappointment. But here's the thing--Antenna really *is* a great record. Sure, there's a lot of streamlined verse-chorus-verse songwriting by old Cave In standards, but it also has a lot of great hooks. Joy Opposites and Youth Overrided alone make it worthwhile digging into this thing. I don't think that all of Cave In's discography is equally worth celebrating. Naturally there've been some relative duds. There are some songs on Antenna that I feel pretty lukewarm about. But I've definitely come around big time to Antenna as a whole and it's cool to see that this is very much a shared sentiment these days.

Just saw this on Reddit: https://www.vinyltap.co.uk/wb0075678644436-glow-on Looks like they also have Time & Space and Nonstop Feeling in stock.

I could never get into White Silence. Tbh when I first listened to it I thought there was something wrong with my copy haha. They also don't seem to play those songs live. But I'll have to give it another listen later.

Edit: Nevermind, I just got one. https://www.rarewaves.com/products/0075678644436-glow-on
