Today is my boy Naidoo’s birthday, so here are some items he would approve of.
This is the As We Look To The Future comp EP on Stonkie Records. It features Capgun, Driven, The Rolemodels and Bane. I never knew much about the other bands, but apparently one of the dudes in Rolemodels would later play in Marked Men. And a dude from Driven would go to play with Killswitch Engage. Who knew?
This EP came in a few different flavors, lots of mixing. There is black vinyl with white sleeves, black vinyl with light blue sleeves, blue vinyl with white sleeves (and maybe blue sleeves too) and black vinyl with white sleeves with a stonkie stamp numbered out of 20. There is also a bunch of mix up sleeves.
It seems like it was a bit of philosophical issue. Some sleeves came with the “As I Look To the Future.” Where others (presumably later), came with the sleeve “As WE Look To The Future.” Certainly, WE makes more sense considering it is a compilation of 4 bands.
Happy birthday to Naidoo. Buy these for him.

driven was great live. played the ebar a ton. eventually changed their name to veiled. then howard ended up in blood has been shed, who are infinitely better than killswitch.
Lol @ Killswitch.
Also, the Line of Fire/ Cap gun split rules.
Not saying I’m a Killswitch fan (my orthodontist had an assistant who LOVED killswitch), just found it odd that dude has that heritage.
I don’t have this but will be bidding thanks again Murphy and Vnoize.
i have this on blue with the first cover.
