maskedvigilante Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 If someone makes a "WTB: Knuckle Puck - The Weight That You Buried on Ultra Clear" thread today I'm going to shit a brick, for lack of a better saying.

dickcritter Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Glad I was able to snag a clear. I was refreshing the page in class until it went up. 2014 is going to be a good year for these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm hoping I'll see this in a FS thread in the future. I was in a meeting when this went up, and did not expect the clear with splatter to sell out so fast. I thought it would be around when I got out. While the second presses are nice, I don't like the screen printed b-side on an opaque record. Fingers crossed that I can get my hands on a clear first press eventually. Props to these guys though. I'm glad to see they are well-liked. They deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelo_cona Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Super bummed about not getting the ultra clear variant, hoping to get it in the future. At least I got the splatter variant. That being said, if anyone is willing to sell their copy of the clear variant, I'm willing to pay more because I actually really wanted the clear variant more than the splatter and would love to have both!

KJL95 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Poor guy. And we all reassured him it wouldn't sell that quick. Haha, yea I feel bad but even one of the label guys was telling him how unlikely it was! At least he will still get a copy at the same time as everyone else (assuming they don't blow through that "2nd press" before he gets out of class). Just got home from my exam a few minutes ago. I totally called this haha. It's all good. If anyone has an extra splatter, hit me up. That's awesome these guys sold them so fast. They deserve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefallenhero Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I don't get how it's a second press. It went up immediately after the first one sold out and is ready to be shipped. Why not call it all a first press? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not call it all a first press? Because then everyone who bought the /400 splatter would be ~super pissed~ that these 2 variants are now more ~rare~.

travis Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Surprised at how quick that first press sold out. Pretty cool for the band/label though. Picked up the tri-color second press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy plays bass Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Maybe it's because I'm from the same area as these guys, but I was not surprised at all that these went so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not call it all a first press? They weren't expecting to have the first press sell out this quickly. They thought that they wouldn't have to use the second press until like a month from now. I guess they figured that putting the second press up now rather than later would be a good idea since it's so in demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas_Nassiff Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 For anyone interested in how these were able to sell out so quickly (namely the /100 variant), Nick Mango who owns the Limited Run webstore platform wrote up this blog - http://alternate1985.com/post/83651185348/only-fans-buy-vinyl-between-refreshes-on-limited-run It's a short, quick read about how that works out, why some of you never saw the /100 variant ever appear to be in stock, and kinda why LimRun is the best webstore platform around. I couldn't recommend it more if you ever need an online store. swinx and Brevity38 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised this release wasn't both EP's together. Like what ND did with Rain In July/A History of Bad Decisions. IMO it's nicer to have things separately though, like you plan to do. Each release is a picture of a band from a different time and should be treated as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like what ND did with Rain In July/A History of Bad Decisions.Totally unrelated but I'm really surprised how unpopular KP is in comparison to Neck Deep. A quick Facebook like check puts ND at almost a 100k. KP is only at 13k. I really don't understand how pop punk fans decide what is going to popular and what is not. The smaller but better bands like KP, Light Years, Stickup Kid get overshadowed way too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of Light Years at all, but I definitely know what you mean. Add Firestarter, Lost Years, and Traditions to that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller but better bands like KP, Light Years, Stickup Kid get overshadowed way too much. Neck Deep spawned a lot of early comparisons to TSSF(personally I don't hear this). That'll do some things for you. And now they're on a roster with TBS/TWY/The Used. As for Knuckle Puck, I think their rise is happening slower and more organically. Facebook likes don't say much about quality of music. Their tour with Neck Deep and this quick-selling vinyl release will move them closer to the forefront.
