ALERT - Demo 7"/Tape '08

Massachusetts straight edge.


Alert has been one of my favorite bands of '09. I missed out on getting the demo tape when that was released, but was able to give the songs a listen when the band posted them all for free download on their blog.

Those songs got me hooked. I picked up a copy (or three) of the demo when it was pressed onto vinyl earlier this year by Life to Live Records. I managed to trade for the limited tour press they did for the 2009 summer tour (out of 20 copies on black vinyl with a black and white sleeve). I was also able to track down a copy of the test press for the release thanks to Mike, the vocalist of the band. Note the awesome Up Front ripoff they used for the preorder sleeve.
 
Alert will be releasing a new 7" on Belgian-based Just Another Day Records sometime in early 2010 I believe.

Clear and black vinyl is still available on the Life to Life webstore! If you are into the demo, pick up a copy. I would say grab a shirt too, but it looks like they only have youth large left.
