Kind words!

Andrew Jacobs, who writes for the very awesome 'Stuck In The Past' webzine/blog, took the time to write down a few of his thoughts on the new JC Acoustic LP! Many thanks go to Andrew, and you can check out the SITP blog right here.

"This year marks my 20th anniversary as a Gameface fan, so I've been listening to their records basically since the band's inception in 1990.  One of the highlights for me of seeing my brother's Orange County Hardcore Scenester documentary on the '90s hardcore scene in OC was all of the early '90s live footage of Gameface which I hadn't seen in probably a good 15 years (some of which I filmed to boot).  Needless to say, it made me regret even more the fact that I didn't go see Gameface live after 1994.  But I digress.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Gameface's Always On album, Gameface frontman Jeff Caudill decided to take what little free time he has these days (what with a family, full time job, mortgage, car payments and not one but TWO active bands) and record an all acoustic version of Always On for release on vinyl.  Having recently listened to both versions, I can honestly say that not only did I enjoy the acoustic version more than the original but I also believe that the acoustic version greatly improves upon the original as well.  Then again, I am an almost 41 year old fully domesticated suburbanite, so needless to say, my hard rockin' days are WAY behind me.

This special edition vinyl release is available from Unless You Try Records in your choice of 3 different colors: black, blue and clear.  You can also purchase all 3 colors at a 15% discount.  Additionally, all orders come with a FREE copy of Jeff's Every Last Song album on a vinyl effect CD."

 

UYT mixtape is live!

Howdy friends! We have put together this little mixtape on our 'About' page to give y'all a sample of the label's wares. You'll notice that the first two Jeff Caudill tracks are exclusives off the yet-to-be-released 'Always On: Acoustic'!

So take a listen & let us know what you do/don't like - If you like it enough, you can pick up all our limited edition releases in the store section here for Samiam and Jeff Caudill, or here for our older releases

Jeff's 'Every Last Song' compilation album (featuring unreleased songs, demo versions and tracks inspired by some of Jeff's favourite artists) will be bundled FOR FREE with every copy of the new album!

TRY-006: Jeff Caudill - "Always On: 10th Anniversary"

Samiam - "Orphan Works" 2xLP (TRY-005)

Coming real soon....

 

Great St. Louis – “In Your Own Time” LP (TRY-004)

Finally we have the vinyl pressing of the latest album from the Great St. Louis, entitled 'In Your Own Time'. For those of you unfamiliar with these Bolton, Lancs boys they crank out a tight, melodic style of UK punk that garners comparison to Leatherface-meets-Social Distortion with a sprinkling of Against Me! This absolutely superb follow-up to their debut effort will definitely appeal to fans of Nothington as well as labels like No Idea & Kiss of Death Recs.

This vinyl version includes two bonus tracks which are not available on the CD version!

A co-release with two other UK labels, Boss Tuneage & JSNTGM, the pressing is /500 copies & we are able to offer both colours of wax. CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS.
