A sign of hope!

Every so often people get lucky and this month it was my go!
A while ago i sent SOH a message asking them if they had any spare copys of the demo 7" that wasnt pressed any more than the test press /8
The singer Paul (of hope) contacted me a few weeks ago saying he had asked the old guitarist Evan of the band to get in contact with me. later on i got a message over myspace from Evan saying he was willing to let the test go and asked what i had in return. so after a email saying i would pay him or trade about 2 weeks went by with no reply. finaly Evan replied saying i could just have it! no charge just pay for postage! after further investigation it turned out he had a spare demo tape left as well! a test press and a demo tape for $10 !
2 things i never thought i would get hold of for $10!!!
I still cant believe my luck

PRESSURE!


So it is my understanding that this band is pretty new and i suppose thats confirmed by there self release of this.
Pressure - DEMO '09 - Blue cover, 4/12
First off i gotta say thanks for the thankyou note, i personaly love it when a band takes the time to slip one of these in with an order! Its even better when the note is a sticker that will be going on my record box (will keep the backing still)

From what i can figure out (from pictures etc) there are atleast 3 differnt cover varients for this release. i have seen red, orange and the blue that i recieved, i have no idea what color is the rarest and im slightly curious. anyway i have number 4/12 and im rather fond of it.

The band them selves are a fantastic Euro Youthcrew band from Faro Portugal, fantastic sound! A Euro Champion, without as much melody! Fast to the point and slightly addictive!

More than enough reasons to get the 7" they have coming out later this year!
