TRUE TILL DEATH

Josh / 09/02/2010

recordology has a bunch of hi-end records up including some test presses. A nice collection for sure.

I already mentioned that (like most hardcore fans in the north east) I was at the Gallery East Reunion show last Sunday. When it was first announced I was SUPER psyched, but then I saw the rehearsal footage of DYS and I was really worried that they were gonna suck. I got there really early and saw their sound check and I was convinced they were gonna suck. It was a really long day but there was enough cool stuff that even if DYS sucked it would have been a good day. Springa did ‘Boiling Point’ with Refuse Resist. Slapshot played an almost flawless set. GangGreen was awesome and Jerry’s Kids was unreal!! But even with all that while DYS was setting up I was hoping they wouldn’t suck and even though I know they were not the same DYS from 1982, they were good! The songs from Brotherhood sounded good and a few of the ones from the 2nd record were okay too. I got sucked into buying some merch and I actually stage dove during Wolfpack…. it was a good day.

I saw a guy walking around with a copy of this record that he had signed by Jonathan Anastas, Dave Smalley and Dicky Barret which I thought was pretty cool! I still don’t own this LP, but someday I hope to have all of the XClaim releases…. and this is my favorite.

Is this the infamous trade for an ill fitting Lonsdale jacket (2xl or something)?
