hope one of these reissues is Less Talk More Rock or Todays Empires 

In reference to this specific series the Silver Anniversary (25th Anniversary) of Less Talk is next year. Today's Empires you're going to have to wait until 2026.

Defund Graves. 

Fixed.

Picked up a raid box and hoping for a test from either Polar Bear Club, Strike Anywhere, H2O, Crime In Stereo. You know bands in that vein...

Didn't Graves have a website called ConservativePunk? He's always been a loser. 

 

Never hated his voice but his stage presence was so annoying - he moved like a poorly made knockoff muppet. 

I don't know if he owned it but he regularly contributed. What a shithead.

All those Insta copies are popping up in Europe which was shipped by Evil Greed. But these should be going out soon. Keep an eye out for Punknews today as well.

unpopular opinion

 

There's no cure, will be no cure, if there's a vaccine its months/years away. May as well just get it at this point and let nature do what nature does. 100% of the population will be infected at one point or another. Lets fucking get it over with

I wonder why that's an unpopular opinion.

How’s everyone holding up so far? 
 

Without getting into too much detail...not yet at least...I’m ready to blow my brains out. I despise my family & working from home surrounded by them 24/7...I’ve had enough. 

Sorry to hear man. Looking at the COVID stats from Florida, you're better off inside or on some crabgrass far away from people.

It's been much better in NYC. Infection rates are still low, but as things slowly open back up, they'll definitely spike. My neighborhood still only wears masks for half of the time, so its meh.

I'm working summer school from home. Working summer school has always been fun, but its weird doing live Zoom meetings everyday. Not looking forward to being sent back in the fall, as rates will definitely spike and people will for sure get sick. Gotta get my hazmat suit ready. At least give me hazard pay. And also it'd be nice if Washington would step up more and fund small businesses and people out of work...

Was just thinking about this too. Thanks for the update.

I went to my neighborhood protest, and me and my wife are fine. The meeting spot was socially distanced, and everyone wore masks. All my friends who went to protests wore masks as well. No one has I know tested positive who attended.

This is sadly accurate

I've been into the angry shit recently so sure.

Now that COVID is making a re-emergence, how are people doing in states with large spikes? TX, FL, AZ, CA etc?

We've entered Phase 2 of 4 here in NYC and the surrounding suburbs are in Phase 3 of 4. I expect a spike but not nearly as bad as the states I mentioned before...

Yeah I got my shipping notification yesterday and copies are already posted on Instagram.

Fat says they are starting today with NUFAN, but didn’t they just do Face To Face - Big Choice a month ago for a 25th anniversary pressing? 

I guess that was technically a warm up since they didn't originally release it. So there will only probably be a few of these then. So we could bank on Good Riddance, Lagwagon, and probably the NOFX live album.

They've slowly doing stuff like this for years. First presses and earlier presses of their stuff don't usually lose much value and they pump some money into the label. I don't understand why people have a problem with that.

Based off their patterns, I'd at least expect this 25 Anniversary Series to include:

Good Riddance - For God And Country

Lagwagon - Hoss

and maybe

NOFX - I Heard They Suck Live

They could do Tilt and Wizo, but I don't think that would be cost beneficial.

Also wouldn't be surprised if another band they picked up later put out an album in '95 that they could release as a "25th Anniversary" press.

Anyway definitely picking this up and wish they'd come around to pressing Making Friends on color, or give me a Good Riddance - Operation Phoenix repress.

Nice. Can't wait!

Didnt see yours! Sorry about that, buddy.

I mean I didn’t create it but no bigs. Two better than zero.

We have two threads. Looks like this one was first.

Mods @jhulud or @Shitty Rambo could we get a merge of this and this other thread?

How many times did they sell out a headlining show when they were active?

 

Rarely did they even headline a show

 

note: I’m saying this as a fan. 

They didn't tour enough. I would have seen them in '06 onward if they came around.  They've kind of quietly grew a (small) fanbase but didn't tour really much at all.
