GET THE MOST “TOGETHER” PRE-ORDERS
2009 was a great year for Get The Most with a European tour, an insane set at Sound & Fury, and the recording of their first full length “Together”. From their demo to their two EPs, this band has inspired others to grow and to strive for more, and their full length is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated hardcore records of this year. Now the wait is over, and I’m excited to announce that pre-orders for the Get The Most “Together” LP start on Monday February 22nd. This 10-song LP delivers the same power and energy that GTM is know for, with socially conscious and motivating lyrics that show that hardcore is more than music. Two new songs MATTER OF CHOICE and TRUE POTENTIAL are have been posted to our myspace page so check them out!!
The pressing is limited to 200 on CLEAR, 400 on BLUE, and 900 on BLACK and each copy will include a digital download and all the other good stuff you can expect from us. We’ll also have a few new merch designs and package deals that will include our two other new releases so make sure to stay on point for Monday February 22nd. Until then make sure to check out their new songs and also stop by their myspace page and show support for this incredible band:

PRAISE “GROWING.CHANGING.HEALING” PRE-ORDERS
Praise was started by Andy Norton as a way of sharing his ideas, facing his struggles, and coping with the loss of a loved one. As the songs developed it was clear that something truly special was coming together, and what was initially intended as a project became a full band with the addition of Mike, Chris, Colby, and Dan who all helped bring the songs to life. In January 2010 the band entered the studio and recorded the band’s début EP “Growing, Changing, Healing” and I’m honored to announce that pre-orders will begin on Monday February 22nd. Musically this incredible 4 song EP draws influence from Battery, Turning Point, Civ, Gorilla Biscuits, and 7 Seconds, yet maintains a character all of it’s own. Lyrically Andy focuses on reflection and personal growth, as well as encouraging people to recognize their own ability to create change in our world. Art duties for this EP were handled by Kevin Seconds and the new song HEALING has been posted to the REACT! myspace so stop by and take a listen.
The pressing is limited to 200 on ORANGE, 300 on GREEN, and 400 on BLACK and each copy will include a digital download and all the other good stuff you can expect from us. We’ll also have a few new merch designs and package deals that will include our two other new releases so make sure to stay on point for Monday February 22nd. Until then make sure to check out their new song and also stop by their blog:

DAMAGES JOIN THE REACT! CREW AND PRE-ORDERS
Damages was started by Andrew, Hieg, Carl, and Andy (later replaced by Motor) who wanted to start a band that captured the sound and spirit of ‘90s post-hardcore, drawing from the legacy of Dischord, Ebullition and Touch & Go/Am-Rep. Drawing influence from bands like Shotmaker, Policy of 3 and Four Hundred Years, the initial line-up released their début EP “Scars” on Clue #2 records and set out to remind people that great music played with heart, creativity, and conviction always has a place in the Hardcore community. I’ve known these guys for years having loved their previous and current bands (Blue Monday, Keep It Clear, All Through a Life, Deadsure) and having both Andrew and Motor had done time filling in for Champion. To me Damages is the perfect balance of powerful song-writing, gripping lyrics, and an intense live show so I’m happy to announce that REACT! will be releasing their new EP “Unrequited” this spring, and the new track POST DATE is now up on our myspace so make sure to check it out!
Pre-orders will start on Monday February 22nd along with the GTM and Praise records, and the pressing is limited to 200 on GREY, 300 on CLEAR, and 400 on BLACK and each copy will include a digital download and all the other good stuff you can expect from us. We’ll also have a few new merch designs and package deals that will include our two other new releases so make sure to remain emotive for Monday February 22nd.

COMMON CAUSE JOINS THE REACT! CREW
Common Cause started in late 2005 when long time friends Daniel and Jon set out with the goal of creating a 80’s styled hardcore band that drew influences from Youth of Today, Straight Ahead, and The Abused, while reflecting the goals and ideals of people who believe in change. After recruiting Hans, P.O. (later replaced by Espen), and Truls to round out the line-up, band recorded their 5-song demo in March of 2006, and later that year Common Cause returned with their 7” EP “Statement Of Purpose” which was released on Powered Records. In the following years CC hit the road with bands like The First Step, Justice and ON, and in 2008 released their full-length “The Power to Change” also on Powered records.
I had met Daniel through his former band Damage Control, so when I heard that he had a new project I immediately checked it out and have been blown away by every release they’ve done. Their live shows are unbelievably powerful and when you see Common Cause you know you’re seeing a true representation of HARDCORE. So, I’m psyched to announce that in the spring of 2010 REACT! will be releasing the “Statement of Purpose” LP which combines their demo and EP in a full-length format, remastered, and pressed at 45 rpm. Pre-orders will start in March along with the Betrayed EP so until then check them out at their myspace:
