First Post Of July

I had every intention of bringing these posts to you on a more regular basis but a promotion at work has eaten in to my time in July, so let's just get some recent LP pick ups out of the way all at once.

Break Away - Face Aggression

Loved the 7" releases this band put out but I was rather slow on the up take of their full length debut. It's good stuff though - aggressive and heavy. Black vinyl of 500.

Rotting Out - Reckoning

Rotting Out's recent EP offering is a glorious looking slab of wax. This photo does it no justice but the blue with black splatter and white half vinyl is a sexy looking thing. The etched B-side is nice too. This might be the first Rotting Out release that doesn't see them sporting their own Merch too - Hazaah!!!

Violent Reaction - Marching On

You couldn't have written it any better for me. Revelations first ever release of a UK band is a band from Leeds and their record is called Marching On (together) come on, it's brilliant!! As is this record! 

Billingsgate - No Apologies

I picked up this slightly beat up copy of Billingsgates No Apologies record from eBay mainly out of curiosity as much as anything. I wonder why this was on Nemesis and not Victory like their first release.

108 - A New Beat From A Dead Heart

The first of two 108 releases I got recently. After listening to the 18.61 release quite a bit I had it in my mind to pick up some more and these both came along cheap without any real effort. This came out in 2007 and is I believe the yellow and gold mix of 400.

108 - Holyname

I also found a copy of the bands '93 debut on Equal Vision. As far as I know there isn't a colour version of this record just black. I always find it funny when I buy a record off eBay and the seller only has one record of this ilk - how does that happen? I'm sure all the other stuff they were selling was barely even rock music much less hardcore or punk and right in the middle sitting there like an ugly step child is this 108 record. Odd. 

Still Down

Just a load of random records ive picked up over the last month or so.

Vision Of Disorder - Still

Truth be told I don't know why I felt the need to buy this record. I mean I know it like the back of my hand and have like three versions of the 7" release. But when I realised this was being released on 12" for the first time for the 20th anniversary I couldn't help myself. Love V.O.D!!

200 copies of this ridiculously described Grey Vinyl with Aqua Blue, Halloween Orange, and Black Splatter.

Rotting Out - The Wrong Way

Loved the bands Street Prowl effort from a couple of years ago but it took me an age to get round to nabbing a copy of this record. Think this is supposed to be 'hot pink' vinyl but it just looks red to me. 800 on this colour anyway.

I see from the back cover the band are still rocking their own merch...these guys just don't give a fuck!

Into Another - Ignaurus

Carry on there's nothing to see here, didn't have this record on wax so picked up the reissue from a while ago.

108 - 18.61

It takes a brave band/label to use the much overlooked bile colour vinyl. They've tried to throw us off the scent if you will by calling it 'Opaque Green' but who are they kidding? 700 pressed

I like this record though, so it's good to have it join the record collection.

Integrity - Those Who Fear Tommorow

My Integrity record collection is pretty poor even in the LP section without even delving into the bands 7" output. I dunno, just another band that I had their releases on previous formats and haven't gotten round to replacing yet.

This dark blue press is of 225 and is from the third pressing of the record.

Praise - Lights Went Out

It took me ages to pick this record up and when I finally did only black remained . Ah well, cracking record though.

Hounds of Hate - S/T

Same could be said for this one. Another record that I just didn't get round to buying for so long. Another great record too, maybe in a year or so I'll get round to getting the release after this one too.

The First Step - What We Know

This is an absolute classic. I think this is a first press on solid blue of 850.

I hadn't listened to this for a good few years till I picked this copy up. Had almost forgotten how good it is.

Know The Score - All Or Nothing

I don't know where I first heard this band or how I came to have a CD version of this record back in like 2007 or so. But I liked it back then and still like it now. All or Nothing compiles all the bands released material. I still know nothing about them.

What's not to like layout wise?? Hardcore - more hot chicks please
