bridge9: ramallah, dead swans

ramallah - but a whimper 2x7"
since i really enjoyed their second effort "kill a celebrity" i was bound and determined to get their other stuff. a little research discovered that their was only one other release, "but a whimper" namely. i tried to order it through per koro at one point but it turned out to be not available for the mailorder anymore. so i placed an order directly at the label's e-store.
musically you hear the progress they made with "kill a celebrity" but it's still a refreshing approach to hardcore music anyway.
great looking marbled opaque orange vinyl. the first 7" slightly different to the second colour-wise. 1st cut at 33rpm, the 2nd cut at 45rpm. 1000 made.

dead swans - sleepwalkers
i stumbled across this band from the uk by looking through the bridge9 roaster. they play very passionate hardcore which reminds me of bands like carpathian, have heart or the carrier. very lovely tunes! i didn't give it much spins as yet. but i have the feeling it will grow on me even more. i'm looking foreward to angle their repressed split 7" with architects out of my mail box to which i was pointed to by s.f.r. ;-)

i've got a copy of the 2nd press. clear yellow with red splatter vinyl + gatefold cover + digital download. sadly there was no pressing info for this press on the bridge9 site.
