THIS IS A PRE-ORDER! YOUR ORDER WILL SHIP ON/OR LATE MAY, THANKS! One Step Closer has always believed that hardcore is limitless. On All You Embrace, the band puts that theory into practice. Every release from the Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania band has seen them exploring the sonic overlaps of hardcore, emo, and ‘90s alternative rock without an iota of self-consciousness, or pretension, creeping into the mix. All You Embrace is a collection of 11 songs that show One Step Closer reaching for something deeply honest and, as always, authentic. “I wanted to showcase One Step Closer in its fullest state,” says vocalist Ryan Savitski. “Every single part of the band, I wanted it to be there. I wanted us to be 100% ourselves and be as authentic to our band as we could possibly be.” For fans of their first EP From Me To You, there are songs like “Blur My Memory,” which show the passionate melodic hardcore the band built its name on is still part of the program. But it’s immediately followed by “The Gate,” a song that taps into the expansive reaches the band hinted at on This Place You Know and put on full display with the powerful follow-up EP, Songs For The Willow. Every element of One Step Closer is on display throughout the record, as they expound upon every idea until each one has achieved its full potential. The result is a record that’s bigger, catchier, and moodier than anything they’ve done before, while still feeling exactly like OSC. Taken in full, All You Embrace is the sound of One Step Closer honoring their past while building a future that looks more open, more creative, and more expansive. It’s a place where records like Start Today, Diary, and Floral Green are all in conversation with one another. Even the album’s cover art marks a new direction for the band – the dizzying, frigid blur of blues & blacks colliding is a painting of guitarist Ross Thompson spinning in place, evoking how it feels to listen to these eleven tracks about change, grief, anger and the growing up. One Step Closer feels like the next in a line of revered bands coming from the crescent-shaped depression of Wilkes-Barre – and All You Embrace is the perfect introduction to the most exciting version of the band to date.

Influential Swedish hardcore band Refused were formed in 1991 by vocalist Dennis Lyxzén, guitarists Jon Brännström and Kristofer Steen, bassist Magnus Höggren, and drummer David Sandström. Debuting in 1993 with the EP This Is the New Deal, the group issued the full-length This Just Might Be…the Truth later that same year. The Everlasting EP followed in 1994, and in 1995 Refused returned with another EP, Refused Loves Randy. After 1996’s Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent, they issued the EP Rather Be Dead; in the wake of completing 1998’s classic The Shape of Punk to Come, Refused disbanded, unable to reconcile their anarchist leanings with a career in music.

THIS ITEM IS A PRE-ORDER! YOUR ORDER WILL SHIP ON/OR AROUND APRIL, THANKS! Straight edge is a powerful subculture of a subculture. Punk rockers that don’t smoke, don’t drink, and don’t do drugs are the outcasts of the outcasts. Following the timeline from 1982 towards 2024 the two straight edge authors Marc Hanou and Jean-Paul Frijns tell and show the narrative of the European straight edge through the oral history of the people that made it happen. The development of the European straight edge is described by Dutch bands. The straight edge scene in Europe developed from Lärm’s Do-It-Yourself punk ethics towards the socialist activism of ManLiftingBanner. Mainstrike and Reaching Forward put the emphasis on straight edge and ‘clean living’, followed by a strong emphasis on veganism as Eye of Judgement shows. Capturing the immense energy of a vibrant and vivid scene, “We Could Not Do Any Better” contains not just Dutch stories but tales from all over Europe. From Sweden to Spain, from Portugal to Poland. With the straight edge capitols from Europe: Amersfoort and the Geleen-fests in the Netherlands, Kortrijk and the Ieper-fests in Belgium, Warsaw in Poland, the Ruhrpott and Schleiz in Germany, and last but certainly not least Umeå in Sweden. Also Spain with Barcelona, Portugal with Lisboa and both Durham and Leeds from the UK are covered. Almost 100 people that played in more than 50 bands, operated labels, wrote fanzines or booked shows, are interviewed. From the individual strands of their stories a history of European Straight Edge is weaved. A document for anyone interested in underground music, punk, hardcore or straight edge. But most of all for everyone that went to see a straight edge band at a show, that bought a t-shirt, a demo tape, a record or a fanzine, that fed a band or gave them a place to sleep. You are our scene. We could not do any better. Covering bands from all over Europe such as Lärm, Profound, Colt Turkey, ManLiftingBanner, Mainstrike, Crivits, Betray, A Step Apart, Eye Of Judgement, Birds Of A Feather, Vitamin X, Refused, Rise Above, Nations On Fire, Congress, Spirit of Youth, Solid, Wheel of Progress, Blindfold, Shortsight, Feeding The Fire, Point Of No Return, Healing, Sunrise, Ironside, Eyeball, Spawn, Common Cause, Damage Control, Onward, For Pete’s Sake, Contention, Sportswear, Reaching Forward, Echoes, Steadfast, Gnezl Drei, Mine, Ferguson, Know Your Enemy and Liar. Chapter one deals with the reaction of left wing punks on the party behavior and self-destruction of the early punk in 1977-1981. Dutch punk band De Rondo’s illustrates the downfall of the punk scene. The second chapter evolves heavily around the groundbreaking work of Lärm; how they introduced straight edge in Europe. And how seeds of straight edge were planted in the UK, Germany and Belgium, all through Lärm. Someone called this chapter ‘a book within the book’. In the third chapter the start of Profound directly from the break-up of Lärm and the emerging scene around that with bands like Rise Above, Betray, Point Of No Return gets discussed. Also the development from Profound into ManLiftingBanner is described. The start of Crucial Response Records and how the combination of that label and the latter band influenced a new breed of straight edge in Europe. Emerging bands like Mainstrike, Onward and Spawn, the scenes in Holland, Belgium, Norway and Sweden are covered in the fourth chapter. The development into Sportswear and Eyeball, the early days of Refused and Reaching Forward, and important festivals like Ieper and Geleen is described. Also the rise of straight edge in Poland with bands like Cymeon X and Sunrise as well as the start of Refuse Records. Labels like Marching Through Records and Commitment records get mentioned. Attention is paid to important fanzines like Value Of Strength and Simba. The fifth chapter deals with the period in the early 21st century after Mainstrike, Sportswear and Eyeball had split up. When after A Step Apart stopped and new band Eye of Judgement carried forward the torch of inspiration. In the final chapter the two authors reflect on their time in Birds Of A Feather, and what happened in Europe after that band. Of course, the book is 700 pages long. This super short overview is way toooooo short. It does not even scratch the surface. Get the book and read the elaborate story of the European straight edge. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Marc Hanou (1967) discovered punk in 1981 at age 13 and saw Lärm play at age 15. He became straight edge in 1985, vegetarian in 1986 and on and off vegan since 1991 (“on” since 2015). He played in BTD, Betray, Dance Cleopatra, Longshot, Blackheads and in Twin Cities outfit In Defence. Later bands were Nixnieuwz, Birds Of A Feather, Echoes and Oprecht. He had a straight edge radio show between 1988 and 1994 on radio Patapoe, Amsterdam, did Revelation Records Europe from 1990 to 1995, booked dozens of shows at the Dirk, the Maloe Melo and the OCCII, all in Amsterdam, and booked shows in Europe for dozens of bands as well, from Green Day to Born Against. Jean-Paul Frijns (1973) heard punk for the first time on the b-sideof a new-wave compilation tape that a friend gave him during the mid ‘80s. Skateboarding and magazines like Thrasher and Maximum RocknRoll got him more involved in punk and hardcore. It introduced him to straight edge and inspired him to start his own zine Value Of Strength. He organized the ‘Geleen Festival’ during the 90’s and booked shows in the southern part of the Netherlands. Worked as a graphic designer for Victory records and lived in Chicago where he picked up the bass guitar. He played bass for Birds Of A Feather and Echoes and booked the occasional show at the Maloe Melo or the OCCII in Amsterdam.

Although some define hardcore as a specific sound, most believe it's more than that; a set of varying ideas, ethics, principles, attitudes and, yes, music, that converge to form a community. "Burning Fight: The Nineties Hardcore Revolution In Ethics, Politics, Spirit, And Sound" by Brian Peterson provides some answers, but also brings up a whole new set of questions for those who've been drawn to the scene's political, social, ethical and spiritual ideas amidst the screamed vocals and abrasive chords. "Burning Fight" features commentary from approximately 150 people involved in the nineties hardcore scene as well as oral history articles about straight edge, politics, vegetarianism and interviews with a variety of influential bands such as Avail, Burn, Earth Crisis, Inside Out, Integrity, Los Crudos, Spitboy, Strife, Texas Is The Reason, Unbroken and more. 503 pages.

The Italians of Two Words have come a long way. With roots in the hardcore scene of the early 90s, the band members have always remained true to themselves and their social and political principles. So it's almost natural that after a first 7", the band teamed up with Crucial Response Records to release their debut album. On "Rejoining The Forces", Two Words bang out twelve Youth Crew anthems with plenty of singalongs and mosh parts. There is also a reworked version of "Disillusion", a song by Think Twice, the old band of Two Words guitarist Freddy and drummer Gonzo, as well as a Chain of Strength cover. The LP is available in three colorways blue, red and white with an elaborately designed cover and a large lyric insert. Label: Crucial Response Records

Just a Minor Threat is a book of Glen E. Friedman’s most outstanding photographs of the Washington, DC, band Minor Threat, one of the most influential hardcore punk bands in music history. While the book offers Friedman’s best-known photographs of the band, most of the pictures in this volume, shot in 1982 and ’83, have never been seen before. The book has writing by Jello Biafra, Alec MacKaye, Guy Picciotto, Zack de la Rocha, Jamie Shanahan, and Ian F. Svenonius. Friedman’s own introduction explains how he initially met the band, and the lifelong friendships that grew from there. The first time Friedman made pictures of Minor Threat was in Southern California early in the summer of 1982, then later on their home turf of Washington, DC. At the end of that same year, he shot them at an “explosive and uncontrollable” performance at CBGB in New York City. In addition to these, Just a Minor Threat also comprises very rare candid and posed photos of the band, including many from the same roll as the now classic “Salad Days” image on the front steps of their “Dischord House.” Review "Punk photographer Glen E. Friedman has compiled a wealth of previously unseen images for the aptly named new book Just a Minor Threat: The Minor Threat Photographs of Glen E. Friedman. Due Oct. 3 from Akashic Books, it also boasts essays from Washington D.C. underground stalwarts Guy Picciotto, Alec MacKaye and Ian Svenonius, as well as Rage Against the Machine's Zack de la Rocha." —Spin “Friedman’s new book, Just a Minor Threat: The Minor Threat Photographs of Glen E. Friedman, represents a near-emptying of his archive of photographs of the influential group, which featured Friedman’s now close friend Ian MacKaye on vocals . . . What it means for the music fan is an almost Kinetoscope-like document of Minor Threat shows in California, New York, and DC as well as more than a dozen photos from the shoot that produced the famous cover photo for the group’s posthumous ‘Salad Days’ EP, on the front porch of the Arlington house where MacKaye and Minor Threat drummer Jeff Nelson lived and ran the Dischord label. There are essays from fans like Rage Against the Machine singer Zack de la Rocha and Guy Picciotto, who would later join MacKaye in Fugazi . . . The book includes some terrific portraits of Minor Threat.” —Washingtonian Publisher : Akashic Books (October 3, 2023) Language : English Hardcover : 138 pages ISBN-10 : 1636141366 ISBN-13 : 978-1636141367 Item Weight : 1 kg Dimensions : 27 cm x 2 cm x 23 cm

The world of hardcore is renowned for the preservation of its own history. The history has been well-documented in records that have all been reissued, websites devoted to its preservation, an oral history that has been passed down through generations of show-goers, and now, through books that explore even the most minute and obscure details of underground hardcore culture. This book documents an incredibly important aspect of hardcore's culture that has, until now, not been documented in any print format: hardcore band t-shirts through the diligent collecting and cataloging of hardcore enthusiast Orhun Oner. The 200 pages of "Life.Love.Shirts.: A Collection Of Hardcore Clothing" features the colorful t-shirts that were bought and sold in the sweaty clubs of the '80s and '90s, many of which are extremely rare and fetch astronomical sums on the collector's market. Many of the shirt photos are accompanied by stories from the bands, labels, and those who had a hand in the production and distribution, a glimpse of the rich tradition of hardcore band t-shirt production that continues on to this day.

"All Ages: Reflections on Straight Edge" takes an in-depth look at the second wave of American Hardcore -- the music that borrowed from the likes of Minor Threat, Black Flag and SSD -- bands like Youth of Today, Slapshot, Bold, Underdog, Side by Side, Gorilla Biscuits, Judge, Inside Out, Chain of Strength, No for an Answer and Supertouch. Most of these bands were awesome and unique and have yet to be documented accurately outside of their own recordings until now. The personalities and opinions expressed in this book are as varied as the music these people have since created. So many of the people who at one time held similar beliefs have since then explored virtually every direction in life imaginable and they candidly discuss their experiences in "All Ages." If you care one iota about not just straight edge, but American Hardcore in general, "All Ages" is a must. And if you can deal with some honesty and some fallen angels and even some humor, then buy it. And don't just look at it, read it. And then put it in that spot you have reserved for things that become part of your permanent collection.
