I started this blog as a music downloading source, but its evolving into a place for me to post downloads, review shows/records, and post about what I blow my cash on.mitchardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05798293982909832520noreply@blogger.comBlogger12125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815425277518812773.post-75616578220556605152011-01-25T10:28:00.001-08:002011-01-25T10:28:42.355-08:00SLACKERIt has been a full year since an update I guess. Haha. I could have sworn that I posted those videos over the summer or in the fall. I guess 2010 blew by.<br />

Well, the Vital Times one is, but I am sure Control will get up there soon too. Bummer. I have the cash thanks to some ebay auctions that did much better than expected, but I don't know if I can bring myself to spend over $200 on two records today. The way things are looking, it will be closer to $300 total more than likely. While I would love to finally finish my ON collection, those tests aren't worth that kind of cash to me right now. Even though half of it will be going to charity, I would rather donate that much without wasting the other half on records. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyways, to the real reason for posting today. I got in touch with a guy who had a ton of old 90's live sets, including a couple from Undertow, Brotherhood and Unbroken. I ended up trading him a copy of the '97 'tow reunion show and some random Mental set I had on my hard drive, but ended up with three Undertow shows, all of which I will be uploading onto youtube when I have a chance. I managed to get one of them up early this morning, and the other MIGHT go up sometime this week. I am still waiting on the guy for the third set, which is of one of their last shows in Cali before the break up.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This set is from a show they played in Jersey in the Summer '94 tour with Unbroken (I believe it was with Unbroken at least). Here is one of the videos, and my favorite from this set. Check out the link below it for the playlist containing all of the songs/videos.</span></span><br />

</div><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Seeing as this was posted online a week ago, this is a huge "late pass" in internet terms. However, I think a song finally hitting the open sea after almost 30 years is more of an injustice and crime than I am about to commit.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I saw this posted on theb9 last night, and felt like I needed to share it, even though most of the people who see this will have already heard the song via some hardcore board.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This song was recorded by an audience member at a show MT played on October 30th, 1982 at Woodlawn High School in Arlington, Virginia with Faith, Iron Cross, and DOA<span style="font-size: small;"></span>. The quality is pretty bad, but then again, half of the live videos you see on youtube today have fucking horrible sound.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The song, "You Betrayed Me By Growing Up", was never formally recorded. This is the only known recording. The first link I am posting is just the song itself in a flash player. The second link is a mediafire zip file with the entire set from that night. Keep in mind, the quality of the entire thing isn't too great.. but listen to it anyways. Here is the track list:<br />

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">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.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">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.<br />
<br />
Alert will be releasing a new 7" on Belgian-based Just Another Day Records sometime in early 2010 I believe.<br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The "Land of Greed... World of Need" 12" was released in 1994 by Watermark Records a new label called Trustkill. This 12" was TK0001, the first released out of 120 or so that the label has done to date (including acts such as Bleeding Through and Eighteen Visions). The release was done as a benefit to the homeless, and includes a list of contact phone numbers in each state for organizations aiming to aid the homeless.<br />
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Unlike most benefit comps, this entire album is a cover of the Embrace LP, each song by a different band. All in the same order they appear on the original release. Put into perspective, this album has more of an all-star cast than most. Undertow, Outspoken, Groundwork and Sparkmarker all make an appearance, followed up by some "bigger" names like Avail and another up and coming band, Rancid. I love Embrace, but a few of these covers put the originals to shame. Blasphemy? To most, probably. But truth? Indeed.<br />

I got four records I never thought I would ever be able to find, let alone together in one 13"x13", half crushed (thanks to good old USPS) box. Thankfully everything inside that box was fine, and here is why:<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Undertow - The Edge of Quarrel (7" Red/Pink /110)</b></span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO92VyRpRrl6bVWlnDQ_XOgOg-ZZlbZHe7MXj5P1ELO_VlGc1h7UoynlOG-XyI5opsXe46MTuOomZGoEw0qP4vknmJpxsFvaI13kvLHElaV31KkF2Y262zomZCnjFZ3ZGoLsob2ZK-WtE/s1600-h/100_7362.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO92VyRpRrl6bVWlnDQ_XOgOg-ZZlbZHe7MXj5P1ELO_VlGc1h7UoynlOG-XyI5opsXe46MTuOomZGoEw0qP4vknmJpxsFvaI13kvLHElaV31KkF2Y262zomZCnjFZ3ZGoLsob2ZK-WtE/s400/100_7362.jpg" /></a><br />
</div></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">This is Undertow's first release ever pressed onto vinyl. The "Edge of Quarrel", is a two song EP released in 1991 on Ron Brotherhood's Seattle based Overkill records. The tracks "My Enemy" and "All I Can Give" were exclusive to this release as far as I know, aside from the less than legitimate "Edge of Quarrel" CD released by our favorite German bootleggers at Lost & Found Records. Note the awesome stickers. I am still beyond stoked that I actually got a copy of this 7". I have been actively searching for a copy for about three years. Since there were only 110 pressed (and keep in mind this was about 20 years ago), many of them have probably been lost to edge breaks and growing up. In those three years, I have only been able to find a few people (outside of the band members) that own a copy, all of which declined to sell or trade their copy to me. About a week ago, I finally managed to track down a copy, thanks to one of the guys in Undertow. I have long considered this to the be the Holy Grail of 'tow stuff. Apparently, this 7" was to be the Undertow + Resolution split. There were mastering errors, and 110 copies were pressed on solid red/pink vinyl before the error was discovered, which I assume is the fact that Undertow is on both sides rather than one for 'tow, and the other for Resolution. The same error is present in the "Extinction of all that is Holy" 7", also released by Overkill. However, that 7" is on black vinyl, with a Slayer tribute cover. Why the error pressing was pressed twice on different colors is beyond me. But oh well. Just one more piece of vinyl in the collection.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Undertow - The Edge of Quarrel (7" Clear Red, TEST PRESS)</b></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH-sx37Oi1ts14sS8ReJ1FWCWkvs-bMOrvfDSg9FnKZMEQF5BsncMHGURW8_2G2wGZeBmC_pq7RLcI-8e_PpMniHl9DZmD1asvyzSQvSpXYk2sTewwEzdJX2X-SPJWYdpHegQ8bVa0Eu0/s1600-h/100_7359.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH-sx37Oi1ts14sS8ReJ1FWCWkvs-bMOrvfDSg9FnKZMEQF5BsncMHGURW8_2G2wGZeBmC_pq7RLcI-8e_PpMniHl9DZmD1asvyzSQvSpXYk2sTewwEzdJX2X-SPJWYdpHegQ8bVa0Eu0/s400/100_7359.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">So there isn't much I can say about this record that I haven't already. When I went into this deal, I originally was just amazed that I had found a normal copy of the 7". Then, out of the blue I get offered a test of it, plus some other stuff that I will discuss in a minute. I have no idea how many of these there are, but judging by how few of the normal pressing there are in circulation, there can't be more than a few of these. My best bet is that they went to the band and Overkill kept a few. But HOLY SHIT, test pressings on color vinyl are legit. Especially a color that wasn't included in the normal pressing.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Undertow - Conditioned/Split with Resolution (7" Black, TEST PRESS)</b></span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmFarb4dcBbyHnAPIAYCbPv9hn2kMjcOBXhAE5xTpu0U7vPl_MKZaX___DABpMFCuV4q01ZG7sg_38FEZPgVLogoJbdCKSHF1jIknZXhTmCn2BOGKT3b2UIg9eVwDLGoJohyphenhyphenfWnAno3_Y/s1600-h/100_7360.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmFarb4dcBbyHnAPIAYCbPv9hn2kMjcOBXhAE5xTpu0U7vPl_MKZaX___DABpMFCuV4q01ZG7sg_38FEZPgVLogoJbdCKSHF1jIknZXhTmCn2BOGKT3b2UIg9eVwDLGoJohyphenhyphenfWnAno3_Y/s400/100_7360.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Again, another record I never thought I would come across, a test pressing of that split with Resolution you have heard so much about. Only this time, it isn't some fucked up Undertow only mispress. This is the real deal. If you aren't familiar with Resolution, it was another project fronted by Ron from Brotherhood, post the B'hood days. They are best known for awesome Motorhead covers, which can be found a couple entries down. After listening to this I had to bust the Resolution 10" out. </span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Undertow - At Both Ends (12" Black, TEST PRESS)</b></span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgrHHeC_P078aifb0sjV68pNeEweu-WlVuL9YrKi1CKDNgKH3gHjZZQROooxrGCC5f3BroxRggrwdDEWaJDvDz9mhE0WcPNf9Kz-dc7f0oaXY3lw1DzxDjvJvUWPkLsqfPolU1ON4DDi4/s1600-h/100_7354.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgrHHeC_P078aifb0sjV68pNeEweu-WlVuL9YrKi1CKDNgKH3gHjZZQROooxrGCC5f3BroxRggrwdDEWaJDvDz9mhE0WcPNf9Kz-dc7f0oaXY3lw1DzxDjvJvUWPkLsqfPolU1ON4DDi4/s400/100_7354.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ok, now this is fucking mind blowing. The release scientifically known as EXC-009, but commonly referred to as the "At Both Ends" LP. ABE was the first and only full length record released by Undertow before their demise. In my opinion, this album the most important piece of hardcore ever recorded. Sure, this can and will be contested by everyone else (more than likely haha). This album and the songs within it opened the doors to hardcore for me. I guess it was the single album that let me hear the feeling behind the music and the words. I have never listened to any piece of music that was filled with such raw emotion. Fear, confusion, anger, hate and love all wrapped into 25 minutes of insanity. There should never be something that you define yourself with, but this album speaks the words and feelings I have felt through life like I wrote it myself. The progressions of the pains of life, and the process of defining yourself though the both the good and fucked up things that you see and deal with. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Oh yeah, no fucking God. Almost forgot.<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">In Conclusion:</span></b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I don't think I can top this pickups entry. Fuck. I think I am done collecting records. I'll still but new releases and stuff, but I feel like with these pickups, there is nothing I personally want anymore. Until next week at least.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I still owe a huge thanks to Ryan from Undertow, who hooked me up with all of this stuff. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I got this in the mail today from </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">good dude down in Chile</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">. Engine zine #1, straight from San Francisco circa 1992. You know its legit when there are ads for upcoming Fugazi and Jawbreaker shows.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Featuring interviews with Seth from Undertow, and a group interview with Still Life/Struggle. Classic political hardcore literature. Covering everything from veganism to homophobia, with some little things you can do to stick it to the assholes around you (See: Consumer Tip - 1)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Anyways, I zipped all of the original scanned images into a file, and I tried my hand at making all of them into a pdf file (Don't mind the watermark on the first page of the pdf file... I don't feel like stealing Adobe writer to make this haha).</span><br />

</span><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Instead of just doing audio uploads, I'll start adding other articles as well. I'll do some show/album reviews here and there. Maybe some awesome vinyl/clothing pick ups I make, if any occur. Once I get a new camera, I'll start taking pictures at shows again also.<br />

I was dealing with a dude in Italy trying to get another variant of the Undertow/Resolution split for my collection, and he made mention of having this record laying around.
