DRA order: Alcatraz, Strength Approach, Bleed Into One

alcatraz - smile now cry later
first time i heard of them was in a mailing list e-mail of demons run amok entertainment as the label advertised this release + i know the two songs of their split 7" with berlin's final prayer. there was one new song on the label's soundcloud site and i decided to buy it eventually. very energetic hardcore like death before dishonor, terror and the like. very good presentation and as an extra you get the demo from 2005 included on the lp!
white vinyl. 150 made. download code.

strength approach - with or without you
straight up italian hardcore.
i was pretty pissed as i missed them on this year's rebellion tour with madball, H2O and first blood in hamburg. they started playing at 18.30 and my girlfriend and me were stuck in traffic jam :(
anyway, the record is pretty good and i just have to catch them live at another time.
it's pressed on awesome marbled neon orange vinyl (100 made). just like with the alcatraz record, i love the idea of making the lyrics insert and the dust sleeve for the record one thing. + download code


strength approach - stand your ground 7"
i don't really like SA first full length "all the plans we made are going to fail" but this 7" is pretty much in the vein of their newest album. great artwork by dave quiggle.
clear red with black smoke vinyl.

bleed into one - words can't save us now
german oldschool hardcore similar to agnostic front or madball. it was on sale and so i thought i give it a shot. the pic suggests that the sleeve is a gatefold cover but it's just a double printed fold out paper of thick quality. that's cool though :)

all records out on demons run amok entertainment
