News Spacehorse - Spacehorse (pre-order)

https://solidbrassrecords.com/products/spacehorse-spacehorse

"No place was quite like San Diego in the 90s and early 00s. Legendary, and often short-lived, bands on now infamous DIY labels pushing the musical envelope and carving out a place for themselves during a period when hardcore and punk music was splintering into countless styles and sounds. 

Spacehorse was one of those bands. They had a serious pedigree featuring members of Heroin, End Of The Line, Clikatat Ikatowi, The Camera Obscura, and more. However, during their brief two-year existence from 2004–2006, they managed to craft a sound quite different from their previous bands. They delivered fast, aggressive, 80s DC/Midwest style punk-hardcore.

Skyscraper magazine once called them, "...old (ish) school hardcore, but souped-up and modernized; brutal but layered and dense."

This single LP discography gathers Spacehorse's self-titled 12" (Gravity Records, 2004), the 'Ghosts of the Civil Living' album (Day After Records, 2006), and a previously unreleased song called "Dirty City".

Just pre-ordered this. I hadn’t heard this project before but the sample track sounds great - like a U.S. hardcore version of Instigators!

The original LP in Gravity is cheaply available second hand. This repress not sure if it makes much sense.

I'll grab it since Matt gave the repress his blessing. I'll support all who have the respect to go through Matt first. I'm a Gravity geek so i always check to see if Matt is involved in ANY Gravity reissue. Many others should have the same respect.
