Lexicon Mist
One of the releases I was really looking forward to this year was the new Red Hare 7". I really enjoyed the 12" they released in 2013. The songs are good, but there are only two new ones on this 7", plus a Lungfish cover. Bit of a bummer.

Catching Up with Dischord
My Dischord collection boarders on embarrassing. Maybe it is even beyond the border of embarrassing, but I caught up with Dischord's catalogue at least a little bit.
Artifical Peace were around for only a short time in 1981/82 and apart from the three songs on the Flex Your Head sampler and one split 7", they had never really officially released anything as far as I know. It was definitely a good thing that Dischord finally decided a few years back to release the material recorded in November 1981. I got a copy on black. don't know if there's any colour vinyl available. Don't really care either. Very good early 80s hardcore. If you liked the songs on Flex Your Head, you should definitely pick this up. If you don't know the band, pick it up anyway.
The second record I picked up from the Dischord catalogue is Red Hare's debut Nites Of Midnite. The sticker on the shrinkwrap advertised this as a band featuring members of Swiz and Dag Nasty among others and you can definitely hear the influences. This is really, really good. I've been hearing many people say a lot of good things about this record but unfortunately I managed to get this one only a few days ago. This is the second pressing on blue vinyl with matching blue cover art. Sounds good, looks good. I hope there's going to be more material by this band in the nearby future.
