HARDCORE ON DONAHUE

B9 TO RE-ISSUE VICTIM IN PAIN

From Bridge 9:

Agnostic Front and Bridge Nine Records have teamed up to re-release the legendary albums, Victim In Pain & United Blood , nationwide on November 17th. To help Agnostic Front commemorate their 25th year since the original release of their debut album, "Victim In Pain", we've put together a proper re-issue, along side their first EP, 1983's "United Blood".

Victim In Pain has been given extra special treatment, with a gatefold LP cover, complete with a dirty gold metallic ink & embossed logo & title. The gatefold opens up to the original handwritten layout of the first pressing, and later censored original cover is printed full size on the front and back of the dust sleeve.

United Blood has a similar metallic ink & embossed logo front cover, and also has the original cover design printed in black and white on the enclosed dust jacket.

Gold vinyl is the limited color, and comes first come, first serve with each package deal. Packages include a 12"x18" poster & a limited edition Agnostic Front - Victim In Pain t-shirt. Both are also available to the first few people who elect to grab the "all 3" or "all 6" vinyl package deals. Orders will ship prior to street date, which is November 17th. Pre-orders are available today, so get your copy NOW!

NEWS: BANKROBBER

"So we had a bit of a hectic month so far. Putting out this record has proved to be a bit of a challenge as well as scheduling shows around the unpredictability of our guys. So here is the happenings as of 10/20/2009. The records have been approved and should be getting pressed and sent to us within the next week or two. After some last minute changes with the artwork, Jef Kopp delivered, as promised, one sick piece of album art. The art has been scanned and will be landing in the hands of Andrew, our new label guy by thursday. Andrew has Runner Up records to his credit with some rad releases and is starting a more Hardcore focused label with our 7" being his first release. This has taken a ton of stress off of this record for us. I believe he settled on Hydrogen Man Records, hydrogenman.tumblr.com/ And is also releasing a split with Swallowed Up and Black Kites. Andrew has been nothing but supportive and helpful through out this process.

As for shows, we had to bail on the Death Before Dishonor, Steel Nation show on the 26th of this month due to scheduling conflicts and are very bummed to have done so. I want to apologize and thank Memphis from DBD for his efforts getting us on this. Also, a big thanks to Rebel Force for swapping shows with us so we could play with Rise and Fall, and Creatures on the 21st. You dudes saved our asses this month. And another big thank you to Mark from C-Ways for letting this foolishness take place, I swear the bands on that flier changed at least 5 times. So the plan right now is to have our record release show on November 6th with Nothing To Nothing and some great locals who are still TBA. We will be giving out records during this show only so do yourselves a favor and be there.

That's all I can think of.
Jesus isn't real."

xxx ALL AGES xxx TRAILER

From the director:

This is the latest promo clip for the film that I am currently directing, which carries the working title is "XXX All Ages XXX" (Where Boston Hardcore Began). Unlike some of the other films that have been released regarding this particular era that center on the guys in the bands, this one focuses on the social aspect of the scene from 1981-1984. Some of the subjects that the film concentrates on are: Community, Communication, The DIY ethic of the time and of course Straight Edge.

HAPPY EDGE DAY

The medium of the holiday is the attendance of local shows done by (mainly hardcore) bands who also identify themselves with being straight edge. It will be entering its 10th year in 2009. The first annual National Edge Day was celebrated on October 17, 1999 at the final Ten Yard Fight concert at the nightclub Karma in Boston, Massachusetts. The concert also featured the bands Bane, In My Eyes, Reach the Sky and Floorpunch.

This show marked the end of the 1990s youth crew revival, but arguably starting a new chapter in straight edge by creating an observable holiday in the community. Since then, every year there has been a local show in the Boston area that has been the celebrated Edge Day show. If the 17th doesn't fall on a weekend, the Edge Day show usually falls on the Saturday before or after the 17th.

ALL OUT WAR 7" - REPRESS' 2ND PRESSING

This is the long awaited repress of the out of print 7" originally released on S.U.R. Records. These 2 songs from NY's All Out War were originally intended for an Astor Records NYHC compilation that never saw the light of day. All Out War is a punishing display of the aggression of hardcore crossed with the brutality of metal while avoiding the shortcomings of both genres. To get a taste of All Out War's musical style, envision Carcass colliding head on with "Age of Quarrel" era Cro- Mags. Two styles as different as they come but All Out War combines the two to form an attack unmatched by today's standards.

All Out War's "Hymns of the Apocalypse" 7" has entered its second press and well there's a ton of different colors and a limited cover (only 35 made). They are now up in the webstore.
