Stop And Think

b. murphy / 08/28/2010

Stop And Think is one of those bands that I will always love. They were a Straight Edge torch bearer in the early 2ks. When everyone else was growing out their hair, selling out and dropping out, Stop And Think was there. With in your face straight edge anthems, they meant business. Not only that, but they’ve stood the test of time. These demos dropped nearly 10 years ago, and the message and music is still relevant. And it still makes you want to mosh. I’m waiting for Mental to release another album so that we can all see another Stop And Think gig.

Courtesy of btwostep and copiousamounts, you have your choice of presses. You can go with the first press, Straight Ahead style lp, or the 2nd press. Split release on Lockin Out and Painkiller Records. You can’t go wrong either way.

Wasn’t this a split between Collapse Records and Painkiller, not Lockin Out? I could be wrong, it’s from top of my head.

I’m thinking about the first Mind Eraser record, Cave.

It was going to be a split release on painkiller / collapse records (and there were mini-flyers made advertising that) but it obviously made way more sense to come out on lockin out and pkr… so that’s that. and mind eraser cave was a pkr/collapse split release, yes.

It’s definitely the stamp from the demo cassettes. Not sure about the other part. Cooch?

Those stamped 7″ sleeves were from the A-Team “Clusterfuck” 7″ on painkiller… someone must have stuck it in with their S&T lp to make the LP more complete or something?
