truexbeliever Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'm not sure if this was posted on here yet, but the ON and GBNF pre-orders start tomorrow. REACT! RECORDS NEWS 06/09 - ON AND GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN PRE-ORDERS START JUNE 19th - CARRY ON “IT’S ALL OUR BLOOD” UPDATE - MINDSET “R E A L P O W E R” 2nd PRESS NOW AVAILABLE - BREAKTHROUGH EP UPDATE - REACT! WEBSITE LAUNCHED JUNE 19th ON AND GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN PRE-ORDERS START JUNE 19th Pre-orders for the ON “Double Vision” LP and Gone But Not Forgotten “Seattle Crew” EP start on Friday June 19th. Beyond the vinyl there will be new merch designs for both bands and package deals for each release which will include an extremely crucial HARDCORE LIVES package. This package will be limited to 100 and will include all the available pre-order colors of both releases and a shirt from each band. Clearly it’s going to be quite an affair. Here’s some details on these fine core releases: ON- DOUBLE VISION (RXR-005/RR-27) In 2008 some of my favorite people came together to form one of the most exciting bands of the past few years: ON. Pushing the boundaries ON deliver music which runs the gambit of straight forward hardcore to groove based jams, and offer powerful vocals with insightful and inspirational lyrics. With the self-release of their two incredible EPs and intense work ethic ON has managed move beyond the “ex members of” tag and define themselves as one of the most creative and hard working bands in hardcore. With both ON EPs now being out of print, Reaper Records and REACT! have joined forces to release “Double Vision” which compiles both the “Vital Times” and “Control” EPs in LP format. The art duties were handled by Ace and Beej, who put together a package that has a classic vibe that avoids being generic, and you can check out both the cover art and the song “GENERATIONS” which are posted on our myspace page. This vinyl-only release will include a free digital download drop card and both REACT! and Reaper will each have their own limited color available for pre-order which you’ll only be able to get directly from that label with 250 copies on WHITE VINYL (REACT!), 250 copies on CLEAR VINYL (REAPER) and 350 copies on BLACK VINYL. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN- SEATTLE CREW EP (RXR-006) 2008 long time friends Face (Get the Most), Paul DC (Sinking Ships), and Jamie King (giant dude) decided to start a new bad that focused on writing fast HARDcore in the vein of Floorpunch, No For An Answer, and Brotherhood. Rounding out the line-up with Kyle (Get the Most) and Garret (The Answer, Vanguard) GBNF entered the studio to record the 8-song “Seattle Crew” demo and then set themselves to blowing people’s minds up and down the West Coast with unrelenting jams and intense live shows. The demo, released by REACT! in tape format and limited to 300 copies, sold out in two weeks, and due to the serious bad-ass-ness of those jams we decided to release these tracks on vinyl. This release, which will include a free digital download card, is limited to a one-time-only vinyl pressing with 200 copies on WHITE VINYL, 300 on BLUE VINYL, and 400 copies on BLACK VINYL. Each copy will also include hand-screened cover which features art by Jamie King and you can check out both the cover art and the song “UNFORGIVEN” which are posted on our myspace page. With so much watered down “hardcore” out there it’s a real privilege to be able to work with a band that stands for something and has the music and outlook that back it up, so many thanks to GBNF for their efforts and for not only talking the talk, but also walking the walk. PLEASE TAKE NOTE: Due to our summer/fall release schedule we’re having to take these orders pretty far in advance from when the records are actually going to be ready to ship. We haven’t received the test presses yet, and although we’re hoping for the best there’s often some kind of bump in the road that delays things. The expected ship date for these releases is July 24th so if you don’t like waiting then hold back on your order, but keep in mind that all copies are first-come first-serve and we wont be holding copies for later orders. www.myspace.com/onhc www.myspace.com/gonebutnotforgottenhc www.reaper-records.com CARRY ON “IT’S ALL OUR BLOOD” UPDATE Together with Youngblood Records REACT! will begin taking pre-orders for the Carry On “It’s All Our Blood” LP collection in July. Yup, even though the CXO release is RXR-004 we’ll be starting the orders after both the ON and GBNF orders. Why? Well because Youngblood and REACT! both have agreed to pour everything we can into making this release special so it’ll take just a bit longer to be finished. Hang in there and for now check out the cover art and the track “ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES” which are now posted on our Myspace page. Also take some time to drop by Youngblood and check out one of the best labels around www.myspace.com/carryonhxc www.youngblood-records.com MINDSET “R E A L P O W E R” 2nd PRESS NOW AVAILABLE The 2nd press of Mindset’s “R E A L P O W E R” EP is now available in our webstore, so if you have yet to lay your hands on a copy then get on it! Lyrically this unbelievable four song EP focuses on topics of self-motivation and compassion, and encourages self-empowerment as a means to creating change. Musically Mindset draw from classic bands like Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, and Warzone while still managing to have a personality and style all of their own. The cover art, which was designed by Evan Mindset in collaboration with the McMahon family, as well the new song “BE THE SPARK” have been posted on the REACT! page so please check them out. www.myspace.com/mindsetsxe REACT!
