Get Down - S/T 7" Inches

Its been a long time since I updated my blog. The reason for this was mainly because this is the 100th post and I was waiting for something good to come up. Also I'm lazy and have been out of town for shows a lot lately.

Get Down was a band that featured members of great hardcore acts such as American Nightmare, In My Eyes and Panic. Their first 7" came out on Painkiller Records in October of 2003. Their second 7" was to come out in 2006 on Mosh Camp. Now as far as I can tell this record was pressed and covers and someone is just sitting on most of the copies somewhere. Now I have deduced this from some people having this listed on their howsyouredge lists and a whole lot of people saying they have never recieved it. What sucks is the record is very good. Not the kinda record that should rot in someones closet. The first 7" is long out of print so I've uploaded them both. Get into this band.

Today In The Mail: You Cost What You're Worth

Today I woke up to at almost 2:00 PM somehow. My plan was to update my blog twice in a row and then spend the rest of the day with my Girlfriend (looking for a cat and taking a cute walk). But a third blog has popped into the equation. When I woke up I saw this package waiting for me and my Mom handed me an envelope. Inside of it was a check for $56.99 from a class action lawsuit against the Airbourne Corporation. Awesome because I have so many trips coming up (three to New York, two to Cleveland, one to Chicago) in the next two months. The package is one I've been waiting on for almost two months, my Glassjaw - Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence (Double LP) and a long out of print Painkiller Records release for a band called Wound Up (Ex Punch In The Face and Unit Pride). Today rules.

Today In The Mail: I Wouldn't Know Where To Begin

Today I woke to have two packages thrown on top of me. One (the Lp) was a from Interpunk, and all the 7"s were from a order I made at Painkiller Records. As the title says... plus I am very tired and don't feel like going depth why everyone should own "Something To Write Home About" or that Mentally Challenged 7". Enjoy the pretty pictures though.

Underdog - Live From Asbury Lanes (Self Released)

Today In The Mail: More Shirts Then Records

Today I woke up to find four packages for me, went to work for three hours, had a CD player put in my moms car and came home to find another package waiting for me. The first package I opened was my Backtrack - Demo 7" pre-order pack. (Aaron and I will be doing Backtrack's second Columbus show on January 2nd, 2009 (look for a flyer for this soon)). The package was one record short though because with the pre-order I ordered a Rhythm To The Madness 7" (super bummer I was excited to hear it). Second was a package was from Canadian Holy Terrorists Withdrawl. It was two shirts (And three huge vinyl stickers) they sent me to fill the void until the long sleeve I ordered comes in (its been 2 months since I ordered it). I am super excited about these shirts though (even though one has boobs on it). Then I started opening up two small packages that were rubber banded together. They contained three cassette tapes (each of them demos) by Some Kind Of Hate, S.O.S. and Breathing Fire (I've been trying to get a copy of this tape forever). The last package was a copy of the Ray And Porcell 7" that I have never heard. And in the end this haul was so big I had to take two pictures to do it justice.


Some Kind Of Hate - Demo
S.O.S. - Demo (Lockin Out Records)
Breathing Fire - Demo (Painkiller Records)
Backtrack - Demo (Pre-Order) (Clear Orange) (Out Of 90) (Flatspot Records)

Today In The Mail: There's Only So Much Time

A package and an envelope today both brought me great joy. The package was A Kind Of Like Spitting 7" I won on ebay the other day for a very fare price. And the envelope was the No Tolerance demo tape. This tape was just a random buy when I saw it on the Painkiller Records webstore, and boy am I happy I bought it. The demo has a very SSD, Last Rights and DYS feel (so it makes a lot of sense they are from boston). Probably one of the best demos I have heard all year. If you get the chance to buy the tape, do it.
