Hi and thanks for reading. Today I write with very limited time, so this will be short. First, you need this MECHT MENSCH reissue. Their original 7” Acceptance has become increasingly harder to find. Luckily, you can get those tracks now on this reissue, plus their entire recorded output! I will say the sound quality of those Acceptance tracks is excellent. I haven’t had time to compare the sound to the 7”, but when listening to the reissue it seemed like it actually sounded better than I remember the original sounding. Maybe my memory is absolutely wrong though. This reissue is kinda expensive, but it is really well done. The disc comes housed in a gatefold sleeve, and a massive poster is included alongside a nice-sized booklet. I know there were a few different color variants, but the black vinyl was pressed in the same quantities as the colors, so it’s really just as limited. I think black sounds better compared to those swirly color ones anyway, and it’s cheaper too. Get yours before it’s too late. I know the label is almost sold out!
So, last time I wrote I mentioned these new NO FUCKER 7”s. I think Daniel ended up publishing the newsletter after we got them in stock, so my writing probably didn’t make as much sense since I was writing about them before we had em in stock. We actually sold out of the first batch pretty quickly, and we are onto a restock now. I had no idea what these records would sound like since they weren’t streaming anywhere, but I knew I’d need both of ‘em cos NO FUCKER is so good live. It seems that Annihilate Your Desperation was recorded first, going by the catalogue number. I think this might be the last material they recorded with their drummer Luke before he sadly passed away earlier this year. The record is good, but it has a pretty “lo-fi” sound to it. Now the other 7”, Are You Really So Afraid, sounds worlds different. The sound is absolutely punishing. The guitar tone is perfect. It’s kinda funny cos this 7” is literally just DISCHARGE songs with new lyrics done by NO FUCKER, but holy shit it is still so good. On paper this sounds like a cheesy move, but NO FUCKER really pulled this one off. If you haven’t grabbed copies yet, I would suggest you grab both. Are You Really So Afraid really hit the spot for me. Alright, that’s all the time I have today. Thank you for reading and thanks for your support!
