From the inbox: Panic Records is very excited to announce that our friends THE EFFORT have joined the Panic Records Family. It’s really no surprise that a band like THE EFFORT would catch the attention of a label like Panic. After label owner Timm McIntosh met up with The Effort in 2008 while on tour with WAIT IN VAIN, it was evident that The Effort was exactly what Timm had been missing about hardcore. Passion, intelligence, and urgency fueled by aggressive, energetic and pissed off hardcore. After becoming friends with the guys in The Effort, it was almost everyday that the band was hounded by Timm to do a record with Panic. The time has finally come and we are honored that The Effort will be releasing their next LP on Panic Records. – myspace.com/xeffortx
