Still Hope

Some people are creative. I'm not really one of those people. Doug and Marcus are, and together they released a hell of a record. Doug and his band, Hope Defeated, recorded six songs last year, and he sent them to Marcus and I to check out. We both were digging it, but Marcus took it one step further and offered to do a vinyl release for them on his Endless Quest record label. They took four of the songs and released this 7 inch.

Being fellow bloggers, the Hope Defeated 7 inch was released with a special "Blog Nerds" pressing. The limited Chain sleeve is a nice touch, and very well done.

Marcus made the first announcement of this release on his blog, to insure that readers of his and Doug's blog would get first dibs on the limited "Blog Nerds" pressing. Unbelievably, it looks like there are still some available. I suggest you get in on this while you still can. If you like Hardcore, you won't be disappointed.

The "Blog Nerds" pressing is on red vinyl with stamps for The Endless Quest and We Will Bury You on the A and B side labels. Limited to 60.

95 on white vinyl.

150 on black vinyl.

I consider myself lucky to be one of the chosen few that owns a test pressing for this great record. I'm proud of both Doug and Marcus for the effort they put into this, and it is an honor to have this test pressing in my collection.

Number 11 of 15.
