Hiding In Plain Sight

Without a doubt the 7" record format is much less popular these days, and the number of 7"s pressed and purchased is definitely on the decline. But thankfully there are still some great 7"s being pressed and helping to keep the format alive. This new Precious 7" is a great example. Titled 'Hiding In Plain Sight', it was released at the end of 2022 by Indecision Records.

I'm really stoked that thsi record came out. The band released a full length back in 2018, and they have been quiet ever since, to the point where I had assumed that the band was done. It's great that they are still going, and hopefully there will be more at some point in the not too distant future.

The band features the vocalist and bass player from Threadbare and some dude from Adamantium. It doesn't sound particularly 90s really, but I would assume that anyone who likes 90s hardcore would enjoy it. I say that because it is one of those records that sits between genres. If you like your music to sit clearly in pre-defined categories, this band probably isn't for you.

There were 100 copies on this pink vinyl, and 400 on black vinyl. Both colours are still available as I type this. There are only two songs on here, but it's well worth the money and you'll be doing your bit to keep the format alive.

I still like those short blasts of Hardcore Punk that a 7 inch delivers!
