Buyer Beware

I've been having no luck with Back To Back Records. I missed the limited preorder vinyl for both Not Afraid and United Youth. They did a second pressing of the first Stick Together 7 inch, which sold out before I even realized that it existed. Then, most recently, I missed the colored vinyl for the new Beware record. The label is putting out records from today's best Straight Edge bands, but it is still a surprise at how fast this shit is selling out.

Beware released their demo last year on cassette. Because I can't be bothered with the cassette format, I only downloaded it. I listened to it a few times, but didn't really spend much time with it. That was obviously a big mistake, because their new 7 inch is good enough to possibly make my Top 5 list for the year. I'm getting some serious In My Eyes vibes from this record. If you haven't heard it, do yourself a favor and grab the download here.

While my luck with Back To Back has been pretty poor, I've fared much better with Control Records. This is another label that can't seem to do any wrong. Killer bands and quality records. The extra stickers from Control are a nice touch.

Control handled the Euro pressing of the Beware 7 inch, with red vinyl limited to 100.
