Here it finally is, out now on Not Just Words records and ready to order: STRIP THE THREADS – Won’t Hold Back 8 song 7″. Limited to 300 copies (100 on colored vinyl and hand numbered, 200 on black vinyl). Visit our online store to order directly.

Drawing influences from MOUTHPIECE, CHAIN OF STRENGTH, HANDS TIED and TURNING POINT, STRIP THE THREADS from the Netherlands set the quality standard for European youthcrew hardcore at the beginning of the Y2K decade. Bandmembers were and went in numerous bands, such as REACHING FORWARD, ABUSIVE ACTION, PRODUCT X, ONE DAY CLOSER and KNOW YOUR ENEMY. They obviously knew how to bring fast and catchy classic straight edge hardcore, including the necessary drumrolls, pickslides, youthcrew-vocals and midtempo dramaparts. Not Just Words records begged to release their demo as a 7″ for many years, but in the end the band came with something better: all demo songs were re-recorded at the famous Bunt Studio, adding new accents to the songs and even leaving us with two brand new songs.
