I saw Solace when they played under the name Response downstairs at the Middle East Cafe. I called this Massachusetts band to inquire about their recording plans. They informed me they had test presses of a 7" they were to self release, but they ran out of money. That is where I came in. I made some mistakes on this one. Most notably I used a local printed who butchered the covers, the "Solace" on the cover appears to be in a separate box pasted on the cover (you have to see it). Plus, I used blue ink on white center circles, very ugly. I liked this record, but to be honest this band's best release was their "Dead Man Walking" demo which came out after this record. Great Quicksand influenced hardcore. I would have liked that demo to see vinyl but a line-up change after it was recorded prevented that from happening..

Pressing Info: 500 1st press all black vinyl, 2nd press 300 black vinyl. There are two cover stocks, the 2nd set of covers looking much much nicer. Not sure how many of each. The band told me they hand drew on the center circles of their copies of the 7", never saw one, nor do I know how many were done.
