Out Comes the Wolves needs a little help with their summer tour. Not sure how they only have 3 dates booked for a two week tour, but that’s the case. Give them a hand.

OUT COME THE WOLVES
(Barcelona, Spain / Sell Our Souls Records)

Out Come The Wolves were formed during the summer of 2005. They released a demo in time for their first show, which was supporting Champion in Barcelona in October 2005. Then, they started to play shows all over the place with bands like Discarga, Cinder, The Defense etc. The band teamed up with Sell Our Souls Records to release their first 7″ in April 2006. The release show was amazing, together with Cinder, Dick Cheney, Justice and Underdog. After this, they started to play everywhere and last year they played a weekend tour around France. In 2007 they played a week-long tour together with Death Is Not Glamourous around Spain.

Their new 7″, titled “Oh no it’s OCTW again!”, will be released next 25th May. The song “420” was included on the first “European New Breed Compilation” released by the dutch label Pressure Release in time for Light The Fuse 2007. Just in time to support this new effort, they’re going out on their first European tour.

Out Come The Wolves are constantly displaying their raw and aggressive hardcore/punk, with and astouding and aggressive stage presence. If you like straight-up, honest and energetic hardcore, in the spirit of classics like DYS, Antidote and Negative Approach, you won’t be disappointed.

This week was an interesting one for shirts. Let’s get into it.

Unfortunately, I have heard whisperings that this one really isn’t OG. Most OG shirts were black with white ink. Maybe these people are wrong. Who knows?

How this one shot up to $91 is beyond me. Beyond me.

Two Bad Brains shirts. I was watching this lot when it somehow became a Buy It Now and was GONE. Yeap, gone. Someone won it right out from under my nose. Doh.

Last but not least …

Here’s a little DIY jacket. Yeap.

Sean is always doing it big in PA (and internationally). Check out what he has to say.

JUSTICE “ESCAPADES” LP OUT NOW
It’s been out for a few weeks now and the first press is going fast. Powerful, mid-paced hardcore with one of the best sounding recordings in years. Solid as hell.

POLICE & THIEVES ON YOUNGBLOOD
We’re proud to welcome Washington D.C.’s POLICE & THIEVES to the label! They will be hitting the studio in mere days to record their debut EP on Youngblood. Look for this 7″ EP to release this summer. We will be working with Higher Conscience Records to release a CD which compiles the 2006 demo, the 7″ on Higher Conscience and the upcoming 7″ on Youngblood.

YOUNGBLOOD WELCOMES MIND ERASER
This was announced at the Youngblood 10 Year Anniversary show but we it’s such cool news that we have to announce it again. We will be releasing a 7″ from MIND ERASER. It’s an honor to be working with a Straight Edge band once again!

LIFES HALT “WE SOLD OUR SOULS” 7″ REPRESS
We’ve been promising to do this for a long time now and it will finally see the light of day (once more) this summer. The DAT has been dusted off and it’s off to be mastered for a second time. The original plates are no good (and the plant that originally pressed it up blows anyway) so the new issue of “We Sold Our Souls” should sound even better than the original.

NEW SITE IN THE WORKS
It’s long overdue but a new site is underway. It will boast a new design plus the band pages and discography will be finally up-to-date. We’ve gotten about a million emails asking for discography information so it’ll be good to get all the discography info up to date and available for all to see. Our online store will be getting an upgrade as well.

STILL HOT:
(YB-27) Justice “Escapades” LP

RECENTLY REPRESSED:
(YB-23) Iron Age “Constant Struggle” LP 2nd press 300 on black vinyl
(YB-26) Fired Up “When The Lights Go Out” 7″ 2nd press 300 on red vinyl

SOON:
(YB-28) Police & Thieves 7″/CD
(YB-29) Mind Eraser 7″

KINDA SOON:
(YB-25) Set To Explode 7″

Plus 2-3 more mind-blowing releases that are a little too far off to mention yet…

UPCOMING REPRESSINGS:
(YB-4) Lifes Halt We Sold Our Souls For Hardcore 7″ repress

Go check out Sean and Youngblood Records now!

Let’s see what the Wild World Of Ebay has to offer us today. Some gems, I’m sure.

First Up: What Feeds The Fire – Set Me Free test press. Yeap, a genuine test press. Check that red foil. Hot. This album came with about 400 different sleeve variations, but this one is likely the coolest.

Next: A piece of Bridge9 Records history, the Tenfold / Sum Of All Fears split EP. That’s Bridge9 #001 for those keeping track. Dope. Back when Chris was mailordering out of his house in CT.

Finally: The Legendary Judge Chung King. This was up last week, but was pulled “for issues.” Now it’s back. Let’s see if it can outdistance Sammy’s Chung King. No idea who owns #77. Rev doesn’t list the owner.

And in case you were sleeping, here is how a few New York Hardcore Together Comps ended.

Stay tuned for next weeks. We can talk about crucial shirts.

Make Or Break, hailing from Florida, have decided to hang up their boots. It’s a shame really, as this band was pretty killer. They will definitely be missed.

But don’t worry TOO much. You still have 3 more chances to see them play.

Jun 29 2007 – 3:00P – @688 Skatepark | Make Or Break w/ Slapshot, 108, Killing Time & more – Clearwater, Florida

Jul 21 2007 – 6:00P – @Island Oasis | Make or Break w/ Have Heart, Sinking Ships, Soul Control & more – Winter Park, Florida

Aug 24 2007 – 5:00P – @End of Summer Jam | LAST MoB SHOW EVER – Orlando, Florida

And a lot of the dudes are moving on to new bands ( … Strike a Chord …).
