America's Hardcore Glory

For someone that doesn't really chase multiple copies of records anymore, I've really strayed from my path this month. What can I say? That focus and resolve has shown a few cracks lately, and picking up different pressings for some cool records has given me a bit of charge.

The Glory 12 inch was one of my favorite Hardcore records last year. Along with a couple other newer Triple B releases, it really pushed me into an obsession with newer Hardcore bands. I've even toyed with the idea of buying multiple copies of this record, just because of how good it is. I haven't made a move on that impulse, generally because dipshit sellers on Discogs insist on listing the limited pressings for $50. Fuck that. I'll wait until 2028 if I have to, and scoop them for a decent price when the record collecting community had chilled the fuck out.

This special cover was printed up for the American Hardcore shows that took place in Boston last December. I seldom leave the comfort of my old man cave these days, so I just bought this one from Triple B when they put some extra copies in their webstore.

The b-side of this record is blank, so I guess it completes the theme with the back cover being empty as well.

Power And The Glory

While I was in the Triple B store picking up the Paramount album from Fury, I figured that I'd check what other cool Hardcore bands I'd missed out on recently. I was in an adventurous mood, so lets roll the dice.

Following Triple B on Facebook, I'd seen the Glory name thrown around here and there...probably from local Boston shows and the last American Hardcore fest last December. Meh...I wasn't too interested in check out what they were about at the time, but while I was here in the Triple B store, I figured that I'd take the opportunity to check out what else the label had to offer.

Holy shit. This record rips. Eight songs on one side, clocking in at nine minutes. Great stuff, reminiscent of Straight Ahead. This thing rules.
