Drive-Thru Records Announces Vinyl Pressings • Page 3

if i can get my hands on TEN and TSL, I'll be happy. wouldn't mind snagging Movielife either.

 

Inevitability may be the most disappointing record I've ever heard from a band I loved. Hated it. Still did when I tried it recently.

 

Yeah it was a huge letdown to me as well. I adored writers reference

 

That's weird, Inevitability was pretty much a direct extension of the EP

 

Really? I don’t think they sound all that similar.

 

Same - I wanted to like it but it was (and is) just not my thing. I like AWR a lot but was really into their first record "Start Back at Start" which was all but wiped from the internet - maybe half the songs were on youtube - until I found this:

 

Yeah I still have this cd actually haha. Their first two releases are great

 

I remember I saw them just as AWR came out and someone yelled "Call all your reserves!" and Mike was like, nah you're never hearing that shit again.

 

There were a lot of bands of that period and ilk that tried to pivot from their sound and produced albums that really alienated a lot of their fans with the change. Along with Halifax, A Static Lullaby and Finch immediately come to mind - though personally I really liked Say Hello to Sunshine.
Maybe a strange comparison, but White Lies by lovehatehero feels like the superior version of Inevitability... Both turned down their emo leanings in favour of more technical guitar playing and straight-forward rock(?) sound, but White Lies was so much more fun and memorable (to me).

 

But SHTS and Faso Latido were both great! I actually listen to the former pretty often still, though it's true it took some time to get used to it, I think I had even written a quite bad review about Faso Latido for a Polish website I used to work for, but I was like 16/17 back then hahh. Halifax on the other hand just felt uninspired to me, but maybe I should revisit. I loved the fact that Jeff Soto provided the artwork for their album (same as for SHTS as well), and he was my favorite painter back then.

 

I don't disagree - I loved SHTS, and liked Faso Latido (though more had it just been from a different band than the one that released And Don't Forget to Breathe), and generally just found Inevitability to be boring. All felt like pretty big departure follow-ups at the time though.

 

Has anyone heard anything, any sort of update, since this announcement was made. I _think_ I signed up for the newsletter correctly, but it's a terrible UI/UX design, IMO. It gives neither any feedback nor any acknowledgment/e-mail confirmation that you've successfully subscribed to their newsletter.

 

3 months later and nothing. Seems very strange/odd there have been no updates. Also not sure if it’s just me but does the website seem..off/shady I don’t know why but the website always seemed weird to me. Also I know many of the drive thru bands have had a weird relationship with the label but has any bands acknowledge this was happening? But also they could have been unaware I guess

 

This all is actually VERY on brand for DTR. lol
