Hope we get a new record this year. Phenomenal band.

 

Best heavy band period.

 

Now I have the intro to "Trespasses" stuck in my head.

 

All We Love We Leave Behind is amazing.

 

They are up to something on instagram

 

Oh man I hope its preparing to announce a new record.

 

Oh yeah, thats definitely some album art

 

this year looks amazing.

 

It's You Fail Me related.

 

I've only listened to Jane Doe and All We Love We Leave Behind, but goddamn if they aren't both incredible albums.

 

Okay. So I remember giving these guys a shot when I was younger and super into polished post-hardcore. Unfortunately, I couldn't seem to get into them at the time and it's been years since I've tried. What would you good people recommend as a starting point?

 

It's a You Fail Me Anniversary vinyl pressing.

 

yeah, pretty much

 

All We Love We Leave Behind and then Axe To Fall. Honestly I'd just go in reverse release order.

 

Which is weird cuz they did a re release in 2010 and 2016 is the 12th anniversary. But I love the album. I just hope some kind of touring comes soon.

 

Yeah I thought that was weird to but w/e would still love to own

 

copped the kings road black/transparent red. stoked to hear it!

 

having a really hard time convincing myself that i dont need multiple variants of this, a shirt, and the pin...........

 

it's totally remixed and remastered too so
gonna be a different sounding record

 

Honestly I just want the pin haha.

 

Is the vinyl already sold out?

 

Looks like it is on kingsroad but there's some left on Deathwish.

 

Went with the red w/ black splatter.

 

Still haven't really listened to You Fail Me, so now is a good time to finally get into it. I love Jane Doe, Axe to Fall, and All We Love, but I still need to listen to You Fail Me and No Heroes.

 

You Fail Me is arguably their best album. It's between that and Jane Doe. Although No Heroes is right up there, also.
