No Tolerance - No Remorse. No Tolerance




I've been waiting for a new NT record forever now and once YB announced the pre-orders I waited by my computer clicking refresh till these went up. I grabbed them on Gold and Red. One of the better straight edge bands around now. The last song on the 7" also features Carms from Waste Management. If for some reason you have not heard them go out and pick up this 7" from Youngblood Records.

Gold/187


Red/330

Slint - Spiderland

I downloaded this record a couple years ago now. I liked it but never got super into it at first. Then a couple weeks ago I was looking for something to listen to and saw it in my itunes and put it on. It hit me how great this record was. The raw energy of it just struck a chord with me. The next day I was at a record store and had to pick it up finally. The cover picture of spiderland is great I have always liked it. other then that there is not much to the layout. Its good to own it on vinyl finally.


Give the alternate covers


A couple months ago I noticed Give posted all 3 of the new 7"s up on there webstore before the labels posted about them. Also in the store they had alternate covers for each of the 3 new 7"s coming out. As you know each 7" has a live picture of a member of Give but they have had friends fill in live every once and a while. So as a thank you to them they made up 50 - 100 covers up for each fill in members and one is even a full time member now.


Flowerhead "Dean Rocha" Cover /50 - Youngblood


They all have this little white block on the back cover under the labels logo. I am only going to take a picture of this record but all the back covers are the same to the actual covers. Maybe they where going to hand number them and decided against it?

I am Love "Austin" Cover /50 - Triple B
Petal Pushing "Doug Free" Cover /100 - Painkiller



With there respective covers:

Bad Brains - Rock For Light

Picked this up the other day at the record store here in town. Someone brought in a collection the other day. So I got up and went down out of about 400 lps this was the only thing that really caught my eye. This is a 80's German Press on Line Records. I don't really know to much about it. I knew I did not have a single copy of Rock for Light in my collection so I got my self one of white now!

United Youth - Somthing 2 Prove

Back in November United Youth, Stick Together and Beware came up to Welland, ON to play a gig we left Toronto later then expected and got there to see United Youth's last 3 songs of the set. I was looking forward to seeing them that night. I was able to pick up there 7" on clear limited to 200 copies thou. After the show our car headed to Niagara Falls because it was on the way home. We drove by the falls the lights where on and we just needed to find parking we turn around and just decide lets just jump out and take a couple quick pictures and leave by the time we got back the lights got turned off. Just a night of a little to late.

Waste Management - Power Abuse - Record Release

WASTE MANAGEMENT - Power Abuse - Record Release - Painkiller Records

I picked this 7" up back in September when I saw WM play a gig in Brooklyn w/ Boston Strangler and Hoax. I was talking with Craig before hand and asked him to bring me a copy cuz the Record Release was a couple weeks earlier and they still had a couple copies left over.

In my opinion this was the best 7" that came out last year it has everything I like about hardcore on it. They pressed up 100 copies on "gold" with a poster like cover art and are all stamped with record release stamps and painkiller stamps on the back.


Chain Of Strength / Slipknot

CHAIN OF STRENGTH - TRUE TILL DEATH -First Press - Green Vinyl / 2000 - Revelation Records

Both of these came in the mail this week. The Chain record has always been on the tops of my want list. I had some extra cash kicking it in my paypal account from selling some shirts on ebay and just started to look around on Discogs a couple weeks before I saw this on there for cheaper then what its been going for on eBay so I snapped it up. I'm pretty happy adding this into my collection.


SLIPKNOT - EP - First Press / 3500 - Revelation Records

Also picked the slipknot 7" on discogs also when I bought it the listing was for a Red Vinyl copy of it so when it showed up and it was on black I was kind of mad. I emailed the seller and told him it was listed wrong and the only reason I bought it was because it was on red. He gave me a $5 refund so the record only ended up costing me $3. Another rev release to add on the shelf.



12.1.12

MAD MEN - Suspiria / The Italian Flag b/w The Myth - Slasher Records

Nothing new on my shelf this time just a picture of the Mad Men 7" cool thing with this one is there is a picture that I took used in the second press insert!

In the picture

First Press - Glossy sleeve folded Small Hole

Second Press - Glued sleeve w/ Insert and Punch Out center hole

Painkiller Pre - Orders.

Preorders for the new OMEGAS and GIVE singles went up about a month ago. I was sitting at the computer at work refreshing the page to make sure I was one of the first to get a order in.
this is the newest OMEGAS ny terminator 7" on white. I am not to sure of the pressing info just yet but I assume there is maybe 150-300 on white. The GIVE single is the same. This is one of the 3 new singles from GIVE another 2 great songs. Again they are matching the color of the cover with the vinyl. This band can do no wrong right now.


I am not sure if alot of the copies have this but there is a little brown streak in the copy I got.

INSTED - Instead We’ll Be Remembered - Demos 7” - Bootleg

I have had my eye on getting this 7” for a while now just always have been putting it off because it is a bootleg and I’m not that keen on bootleg’s. I saw it going to relatively cheap and had some extra cash at the time so I thought what better time then now to get this. It took almost 2 months for the seller to send it to me but it finally showed up.

I am happy to ad this to my Insted collection. Now I gotta look for the original demo tape!

SUPERCHUNK - Learned To Surf b/w Sunny Brixton 7” /500 - One Four Seven / Merge

I actually heard about this record on Twitter. Superchunk retweeted someone getting it in the mail. So I did a quick google search and found out that a Label out of the UK called One Four Seven released a Ltd Learned To Surf 7” out of 500 with an exclusive B-side and a cover of Neon Chirst’s Bad Influence. Being a huge Superchunk fan and being that there where only 500 of these I ordered one asap. I do after all have the covers Image tattooed on my leg.

They still have copies to order on the website here: http://onefoursevenrecords.bigcartel.com/product/superchunk-learned-to-surf-sunny-brixton-pre-order
