The Unwavering Spirit Of Sound and Fury

When I started writing this blog last year, it was almost entirely down to wanting to do something creative now and again and enjoying on an almost daily basis, the already established record blogs I was reading. As a great aside to this I've been able to have conversations with some truly awesome people who either just read my blog or write blogs themselves. Some of the guys who are part of this little community are some of the most outstanding dudes I've ever met (or chatted to via email and the like as the case may be here). Chris over at Unwavering Spirit (check out his blog if you haven't already) is one such dude. He emailed me not long ago saying he had something he thought I'd like and could he have my address. I obliged and a short time later these landed on my doormat.

6131 Records Sound & Fury 2011 Covers Set

Man, who doesn't love mystery mail? Chris had sent me through the 6131 records set of five releases with a special 2011 Sound & Fury fest cover. He was quite right of course, I do like these especially as I had all but one of the records with the standard cover so it's always nice to get a more limited version of any record you already have. So first in the set is the Minority Unit Demo.

 



All the records are numbered out of 50 and all of these are numbered 24 so I'm presuming they were sold as a set rather than individually? Also in the set is:

Swamp Thing - Self Titled

FocusedxMinds - Stay Focused

Hardside - Crucified

Cornered - Fuck Off

A great little collection that I'm more than happy to have in my collection. So thanks again Chris for the unexpected hook up!!

I really need to start taking photos with a digital camera rather than my phone, my pictures of these lovely slabs of wax have been weak for far too long. Next post maybe....honest!

Demo Corner

I like Cornered a lot, I have a couple of the bands other 7" releases and I've always been impressed by what I've heard. What seems like forever ago now I picked up a copy of the bands Demo 2009 release on Crucial Attack.

Cornered - Demo 2009

The stuff on show here is also first grade and I was soon banging my head and pointing my finger in my living room whilst listening to this - some times I must look like a proper idiot haha.

I did have some trouble with the pressing info for this one though. I can find info on the black pre-order version and the standard orange pressing but not the standard black pressing. Any ideas?

Fuck!

For The Sake Of Time...

...I'm gonna post up some recent 7" scores all at once. I've bought loads of stuff recently and I'm never gonna get through it unless I start grouping some stuff together. I mean I bought some Rev represses what seems like ages ago now and I still haven't posted anything up about them.

First up Sectarian Violence S/T

But no ordinary S/T release, this is the U.S Tour Version of the record

Limited to 100. I spotted this announced somewhere that the band had some left overs on their big cartel and struck fast as I was about to buy the regular version anyway. I like this band.

Next a related release as both bands feature Nicktape on vocals. Coke Bust - Live On WMVC. Released on Carry The Weight Records. This is the brown version limited to 150 copies.

Next up Cornered a band I first heard on their split with Cold Snap. Released by Carry The Weight also. This is the blue with white splatter version of 200.

I was impressed by Cornered so picked up their charmingly titled FUCK OFF! 7"on 6131 Records. This is good too, fast as hell, brutal, heavy ass hardcore.

Lastly whilst picking up the Cornered release and some other stuff I picked up Bracewar - Whatever It Takes Demo too. I'd had a download of this but not a physical copy so got the clear version limited to 300.

That's made a small dent in the stuff I still need to write about at least.
