A short-lived side project between Damian Abraham of Fucked Up, Matt Delong of No Warning, and Ben Cook of both bands. This demo was originally released as a tape and then came out on a single-sided 7” with a seemingly infinite number of variants. I remember talking to Damian about this one and him telling me that even he doesn’t have all the variants of the record. Apparently the regular version of the record is on clear vinyl, with a black silkscreened B-side. The black vinyl version was supposed to have a blank B-side, but a small number of the copies had different colored silkscreening on the B-side. I’ve got the pink one, which may have been the preorder version, and the one on white. I’m pretty sure 7 copies exist of a white and pink screened B-side. I think there’s also another shade of pink, green, and blue screened B-side variants out there. There were also 30 copies of a Pink Eye Club edition, 20 copies with alternate art done by Damian when they ran out of covers, 10 copies of a family pressing which features hand-drawn art by Damian on the blank B-side label, and a test press with alternate art that I know about. Oh and the record itself? It totally rules. Total barebones, heavy-hittin’ hardcore that sounds like the perfect ground between Fucked Up and No Warning. Get into it.
