YEAR: 2004
PRESSING INFO: 127 pressed on banana colored vinyl. Unknown pressed on black vinyl. Some of black vinyl copies came with a silk screen cover that was available through the band. Also a few test pressings that made it out.
GENRE: Thrashcore / Hardcore / Punk

I first got into this band when I purchased this 7" at Double Decker Records. At the time I was trying to complete the 625 Thrashcore discography (I have since given up on it. There were a few releases which I thought sucked). It was probably only a buck or 2.

What I love about this release, it sounds like it could be straight out of the 80's hardcore and thrash scene. It's cleaner than most, but that's what makes in great. I can hear some melody in there was well. And there is singing, not growling or screaming. They also have a few demo tapes, some EP's, some splits and 1 LP under their belt. Too bad they aren't around anymore.

I believe I have picked up every version of this release. If there is a version you know of that I am missing here, please get at me. I want it!

1. If You Feel Free You Are Free
2. Skateboarding With Baggy Socks
3. Arm For Peace
4. Make The Connection (Heresy cover)

Hey, not seeing an e-mail address to get in contact so hopefully you see this.
Do you take requests? I've been hoping to hear a band called Excite Bike that existed in the DC/MD region around 2000. I have not been able to find any recordings.
They used to play shows with Crestfallen, if that helps at all.

I do take requests, and I have heard of that band. However I do not have any releases by them. Sorry
