These pre-order vinyl versions are already sold out. I see this more and more. If you want the vinyl, you either have to keep hoping they will press future variants or continually follow your favorite labels. I missed out. D'oh.
If you don't know Ship Thieves, check out their 2016 release, "No Anchor" on No Idea Records. A great record. Give it a listen here:
Ship Thieves is instantly familiar with Chris Wollard's (Hot Water Music) distinctly dusty, dry and borderline hoarse vocal style. So far the band has given the world a sneak preview of what the new LP "Irruption" has in store with the track "He Lost His Head". Listen here:
I will be anxiously awaiting a future vinyl variant (fingers crossed) and March 12, when "Irruption" is released!
Cheers,

Wolves Attack!! Rest in Piss
💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀
WOLVES ATTACK!!
"Rest in Piss"
Horror Pain Gore Death Productions
Released: January 29, 2021
Wolves Attack!! are from Philly. I love Philly. I miss going to live shows in Philly.
My post pandemic bucket list includes seeing Wolves Attack!! live.
"Rest in Piss" includes six blasts that sounds like a Ringworm fronted Municipal Waste mashup. All songs are driving, intense and impassioned, fueled with the objective of going full force, releasing, cleansing and exhausting the demons. That's some good fun!! The fact that Wolves Attack!! captured this feeling on these recordings only makes me want to witness the live show more!!
Brilliant cover of Misfits "We Bite".
Give this a listen. So good. Listened to this over and over and over!!
Consider this a formal request that someone release this on piss colored vinyl. I would buy that.

Battalion Zoska Nobody's Scared
💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀
BATTALION ZOSKA
"Nobody's Scared" (Demo)
Released: February 2, 2021
There are not many people who know more about punk than Pat Society. I am lucky enough to have known him for a very long time. Back when people traded tapes, I'll never forget the EATER tape he made and mailed me. I ended up finding all of that EATER on vinyl over the years.
My point, I don't know many punks in bands who would even know to cover "Nobody's Scared" by Subway Sect, never mind know the song or the band. Pat knows.
Pat says, “Hey a little taste of paying homage to one of the original punk bands. Its free if you want it... respects to Vic Godard for his permission.” Side note, I can confirm that Jim the Roadie (guitarist) is another who knows more about punk than I.
Philly's Battalion Zoska do a spot on version, capturing the brooding sound and delivery.
Check it out. It is free.
And if you don't know the original, check that out too! Lyrics from 1978 still haunt.
EVERYONE IS A PROSTITUTE SINGING A SONG IN PRISON.
MORAL STANDARDS THE WALLPAPER. THE WALL IS A BAD RELIGION.
MEDIA TEACH ME WHAT TO SPEAK. TAKE MY DECISIONS.
IT'S HOW TO FIND YOUR INNER-SELF TIME ON THE TELEVISION.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE FOR. NO ONE EVEN CARES.
WE SHOUT PUBLICITY HAND-OUTS. NOBODY'S SCARED.
THE LANGUAGE WE USE, IS IT WHAT WE WANT?
DOES IT NOT PROJECT THE FALSE?
SUBJECT TO OBJECTS JOURNEYS MEAN THAT A WORD LOSES COURSE.
WE'RE TALKING IN CLICHES. BETRAY YOURSELF FOR MONEY.
HAVING IS MORE THAN BEING NOW. NOBODY'S SORRY.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE FOR. NO ONE EVEN CARES.
WE SHOUT PUBLICITY HAND-OUTS. NOBODY'S SCARED.
Pat Society: Vocals
Arik Victor: Guitar
Jim The Roadie: Guitar
Jonas Image: Bass
Steve: Drums
