New Age Catch Up: Dear Furious

Day 3 of my New Age Records 'catch up', and today's 7" is the debut (and to date the only) release by Dear Furious. The band is made up of two members of the band Amendment 18 (Mike Hartsfield & Isaac Golub) whose last LP was titled 'Dear Furious', so no prizes for guessing where they got their name. The band also features dudes from other Californian bands Throwdown, Adamantium and Mean Season. Sound-wise, this band sounds pretty similar to the last A18 LP, which is not a bad thing, not least because A18 was one of those bands who actually got better with each release.

This 7" actually came out a long time ago now in hardcore terms, way back in 2017. Yet somehow there are still copies of the 77 pressing available in the label's webstore as I type this. I guess not many people care, which is kinda sad.

And, as with the other NA releases, there was also a test press available for a great price.

What was particularly satisfying about this one was that I had watched and been outbid one one of these on eBay, but it had no cover with it, and it sold for more than this one cost. So a double win.
