new SOIA

Not a single record store in my area including BEST BUY have the cd. WTF?

morgan - 11-2-2011 at 10:52 PM

As much as I hate to suggest it, if you have a hot topic store locally you could try there. I had to search all over for the last SOIA album and thats the only place I could find it in my area.

clevohardcore - 11-3-2011 at 02:05 PM

I did and they douchbag working was like O ya sick of it all? Let me see. With a smirk. He comes back no we didn't get it. He then says "it was released last year". I walked out the fuck out. I wasn't about to argue with a fucking hipster with tight pants that were sagging. O, he also wore lime green shoes too. What a fag.

And whats with the smirk when addressing SOIA? What is he/it above that band? FUCK THESE ASSHOLES ANYMORE!

morgan - 11-3-2011 at 03:47 PM

/not a fan of the place but its one of my only options up here. I just go in, don't talk to anyone, see if they have what I'm after, and get the hell out.

Can't it just be ordered online? Postage is probably cheaper than gas anyway.

the music we listen to just isn't in mainstream stores any more. so many fewer people are actually buying music, stores are stocking way less and they gotta stock what they know they can sell. same hold true for hot topic. they know their customers buy and that's what they stock.

DaveMoral - 11-4-2011 at 06:38 PM

iTunes?

Newbury Comics has been slowly but surely leaving their punk/hardcore roots behind as more and more of their stores show up in malls and such. I get it, they're a business, they gotta do what they need to do. But it's still kinda sad. I prety much have to order everything from Interpunk or Amazon these days.

I'm thinking North Attleboro could use a good indie book/music store...

Jason the Magnificent - 11-5-2011 at 07:26 AM

I can see someone wanting the actual hard CD or record in their hand, I get that. But the thrill of record stores for me was going in and flipping through CD's or albums and browsing for hours.

Walking into a Best Buy or a Hot Topic to buy one CD is about as romantic as going through a McDonalds drive thru...I'd much rather order something direct from a band or label if I really want the hard product. At least the money is going right to the source, not to mention saving me the headache of dealing with shit head condescending employees, traffic, wasting time/gas etc.

I haven't had a music store worth seeing in a decade around here.
maybe there is something in Philly that I don't know about.
I also used to love going thru every bin searching for a treasure, but it's been ages...
i just get stuff online.
I'd buy everything online if it made sense. just because I hate shopping.
I like getting mail.
I get it in a week and it pleases me to find it there upon coming home from work.

I went to bestbuy to get something recently cuz I had a gift card and the cd section was teeny tiny now.
they did however have some fancy Ozzy Blizzard Of Ozz records for collectors or something.....not sure who'd be buying that nonsense

I find it's usually cheaper to order online than to go into some shitty chain store and buy it there, and that includes shipping to Canada.

clevohardcore - 11-5-2011 at 07:38 PM

Ya, I'm going to order it. I jsut found it today at a HMV or whatever in a mall over 30 miles away. THey had one copy for $18.99. Sorry, but I'm not paying that. The money doesn't go to the band. Thats some shitty markup.

Try cmdistro.com

Six66Mike - 11-6-2011 at 08:05 AM

RevHQ gets almost all my CD orders these days.

Jason the Magnificent - 11-6-2011 at 10:09 AM

I personally love the shipping prices @ Mediafire. :baddevil:

MikeFromInhuman - 11-6-2011 at 01:34 PM

Order the cd from Century Media, Amazon or REV.


ShawnRefuse - 11-7-2011 at 10:42 AM

I hope they have a few at the show we are playing with them November 27 in Providence. I like to buy direct from bands, then I know they at least see a little moola instantly.

panzerkreuzer - 11-15-2011 at 12:06 PM

if you want to buy it, try to get the cd/dvd version. the dvd contains the "the story so far" video the first time on dvd. definately worth it.

clevohardcore - 11-15-2011 at 07:48 PM

Just ordered through Century Media.

clevohardcore - 11-21-2011 at 01:28 PM

Ordered the cd through Century media and just got a notice that it will be shipped tomorrow and to allow 2-4wks. WTF? I ordered it on the 15th. It's fucked up, you can't buy it in stores because no one stocks it. Only way is itunes and I'd like to have the actual cd and not just a file of it. Besides I wanted the copy of the story so far. I don't know who to be mad at as I have no idea what the politics and shit is with running labels and distributing to stores, but its fucked up trying to get new music these days. Not like it used to be.

BDx13 - 11-21-2011 at 01:37 PM

is the album officially out or is this a preorder?
is it shipping from the US?

lifeisabitch - 11-21-2011 at 05:14 PM

I am pretty sure it's out, been hearing it on pandora for the last week or so... and it's not good... I don't like sick of it all sounding like mosh core

clevohardcore - 11-21-2011 at 07:54 PM

I came out 3 weeks ago.

Congratulations! :D

clevohardcore - 11-22-2011 at 01:04 AM

I am so not going to edit that either.

BDx13 - 11-22-2011 at 10:13 AM

HA!



that it's already out and you have to wait that long for delivery is odd. cm must be shipping from europe!

Jason the Magnificent - 11-22-2011 at 10:50 AM

Or...they're re-recording it again to get it to sound how it always should have!

::drum/eyeroll::

I'll be here all week. Try the veal, it's excellent.
