Dare O.C.S.E.

I didn't pay any attention to the band Dare until REV released their Against All Odds LP in 2021. I was excited for that album and started to look back to check out what they had released with Reaper a few years earlier. I still haven't fucked with the OC Straight Edge record though, and I'm sorry but I just haven't found the strength to even listen to the songs for something that was only released as a flexi... the self-titled Dare 7 inch though, yeah that was something that I could get down with.
So as REV was set to release the LP, I figured that I could swoop in and pick up the Dare 7 inch somewhere. I had no luck. Reaper was sold out of it, and surprisingly only did the one pressing... and I couldn't even find one available on Discogs. The market was dry and as time went on I kind of forgot about it. It had been a few years since I'd even thought to listen to those songs, but then as I was picking up a Despair 7 inch recently, I saw the seller had the Dare record available as well. Easy decision to drop it into the cart too.
I guess I'm not the only one that forgot about this band because this was relatively cheap to pick up.

300 pressed on the yellow and blue split.
