With Every Passing Moment

My 6th consecutive post about semi recent Indecision Records releases is a 12" EP by a straight edge band from Denver, Colorado called Time X Heist. I've started to notice a bit of a buzz around this band this year so I was keen to finally check out this record that came out last year, 'With Every Passing Moment', although my tardiness meant that the most limited colour of vinyl was already sold out.

It feels like a while since I picked up a record by a straight edge band, and this is like diving in at the deep end. The opening song starts slowly and the kicks into action with a yell of 'STRAIGHT EDGE!'... and then we're off on a 7 song ride, and whilst this isn't exactly covering new ground, Time X Heist do it really well. And let's be honest, there aren't too many bands doing this style these days, so somehow it sounds kinda fresh.

This gold vinyl version is the more common colour of the first pressing and is limited to 250 copies. I'm generally not a fan of this modern 'gold' vinyl, but this one gets a pass as it goes nicely with the cover art.

I also picked up a 7" by the same band, although I am slightly cheating by posting it here as it isn't on Indecision Records. Released by Heroes & Martyrs Records (which is the name of the ressurected label Martyr Records), 'The Unforgiving Minute' 3 song 7" came out earlier this year.

There are about 4 different colours of this 7", but this purple vinyl version (limited to 100 copies) is exclusive to Indecision.

Whilst Time X Heist may not be the most original band I've listened to this year, but I'm really enjoying both of these records. Sometimes good old fashioned straight edge hardcore is just what the doctor ordered.
