We Object

Possibly the strangest record I picked up in Wanna Hear It Records was a compilation 7" which I believe was put out for sale as part of the store's 5 year anniversary celebrations. There were a few in a box on the counter, and I couldn't resist adding one to my pile, largely out of curiosity.

The record was made as a wedding souvenir for Joey (owner of the shop and label 6131 Records) and his wife Nicole (sister of DFJ from Boston hardcore), which took place on February 13th 2013. The record is a compilation featuring four very different artists, and th songs are all wedding themed in some way. The songs are:

1. Rotting Out 'Life Of My Own' - a CroMags cover.

2. Ivy League 'I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You' - this is kinda cool pop punk song, and a cover of a song by 'Black Kids' (whoever they are!)

3. Brendon Urie 'First Day Of My Life' (Bright Eyes cover) - a solo artist doing what almost sounds like a typical wedding song to me.

4. The Rival Mob 'We Object' - the highlight of the record and the main reason I bought it. This song is absolutely fantastic, and is not a typical Rival Mob song. It sounds almost like a metal song. I don't think it is possible to hear this song anywhere else other than this record though, which is a shame... although more for you than me.

According to discogs there were 200 copies on blue and 50 on yellow. I think (but could be wrong) that these were made and just given to wedding guests as gifts. There were probably a few left which have been sat around for twelve years and he decided to sell them. So other than get one from the shop wilst the last remaining copies are for sale, this will probably be a really difficult record to get hold of.
