Back in May, I ended up taking a trip to Chicago to see some friends... none of whom I'd met in real life before. A friend of ours was getting married and the group of us made quick last minute plans to make the flight, book an Airbnb, and spend a couple of days together before going to the wedding celebration. As awkward as that sounds like it could be, it was a great time to see and hangout with people that I've only ever talked to online.
I first picked up the Wild Side 7 inch when I saw them play at the Triple B's America's Hardcore fest back in 2019. At the time I was under the impression that it was only pressed on black vinyl, and was okay with the one that I'd bought. I was quickly corrected and informed that there was a mint green colored vinyl version of the 7 inch and I knew that I needed it. Five years later, I was stoked to find one in the... ahem... wild. I've been listening to Wild Side quite a bit since picking up this 7 inch and the band still holds up. So good.
100 pressed on green.
The first day there, we planned on spending the day in Chicago and visiting various book and record stores. I had high hopes in finding some cool shit, but unfortunately I didn't see a lot of used stuff for sale... but as we were getting ready to leave Bucket O Blood, I noticed a small rack of 7 inches hidden away in the back corner. Thankfully they had one record that I could pick up as a souvenier of my trip.
