On with the record that holds the silver medal for best new full length released in 2'14
Praise - lights went out LP - 2014 React! Records RXR040
While most certainly having been my most anticipated 2'14 release back in 2'13 it only came in second at the end of the year. But it was a close one.
What more can I say about this band/ record? Maybe that it's beyond me why there are not more people in Germany stoked on Praise and Give for that matter. We did shows with both bands and while at first I thought that any of those would sell out because of how great those bands are and the attention they seem to get I had to learn that people around here seem to be living under a huge fuckin' rock when it comes to real hardcore that puts heart, MIND and soul over style and fun. Hopefully that will change again as this was what drew me towards hardcore in the 90s in the first place and because I think that's what it should be like.
I got my regular black copy out of 425 at one of the usual distros I order from. Apart from the test press there are 4 more variants out there. A release show version out of 75 which probably reduces the regular black vinyl variant to 350. The green vinyl out of 150 and most likely only 300 LPs on blue wax with a regular cover because they used 50 blue records for a ltd. euro tour version which sold out during the show we did which I believe was like the 3rd or 4th one on the tour. Sorry folks.
