Can't Kill The Tribe Dream

I wasn't too familiar with Our Side, but when I saw they were playing at the Violence To Fade record release show, I figured that I better dust off their 7 inch that I'd picked up a few years ago. According to my blog post at the time, I had really enjoyed it...I just hadn't listened to it since then, and I'd forgotten all about it. Digging it out, and giving it a spin again, reminded me of how great this record was, and I was really looking forward to checking them out live.

As I walked into the show, I noticed that there was a merch table set up, and someone was selling the Our Side 7 inch with a special sleeve that was made just for this show. Damn right...I was buying one.

Labelled as the Show Of The Century Edition, with a special lyric sheet that was thrown together for this release, and hand numbered out of 50.

When Our Side kicked off their set with the intro to Detroit Rock City, I couldn't have had a bigger smile on my face. They played a fun set, and had I been more familiar with their songs, I would have been right in the mix, singing along and getting pushed around.

Our Side Of Demolition

I think that I recieved the latest Triple B pre-orders back in August, so it looks like I'm still about two months behind on posts. Fuck.

Bands can be hit or miss with me for Triple B. Some are great, and some I just have no interest in. I had confidence in Our Side, and it does not disappoint! Straight ahead, no frills Hardcore.

I've been hearing the name Our Side for a couple years, and there was a bit of hype for their first vinyl release...so in my excitement, I bought two copies.

100 pressed on clear, and 400 on black vinyl.

In trying to break the habit of buying every pressing for every record that I'm interested in, I only went with one copy of the Demolition 7 inch. I didn't know anything about the band, so I made an attempt to calm the fuck down.

Surprisingly, this record is really good. They have a great New York Hardcore sound that feels like it came from that scene in the mid-80's. I'm loving this record.

100 pressed on orange vinyl.
