ALL ABOUT FRIENDS KICKSTARTER LAUNCHED FOR COMPILATION RE-RELEASE WITH BONUS MATERIAL
Featuring Tracks from Trial, Coalesce, Botch, Indecision, Harvest, When Tigers Fight, Heiress, Steve Brodsky, & Many More…

Back in 1997, a girl named Carrie Whitney released a compilation, titled All About Friends, as a sub-release of her photo ‘zine, “Hardcore Maniacs”. Times were much simpler then - handmade, photocopied ‘zines circulated around the hardcore scene, DIY ethics were at their highest, and unity within the punk/hardcore community was rampant. Carrie wanted to release a comp featuring her friends and their bands - as a way to give thanks to all of them, and a way for her to make new friends in the process. All About Friends was born and featured some of hardcore’s finest bands from that time: Coalesce, Botch, Threadbare, Indecision, Trial, and more. This compilation was a highly sought-after release and was pressed on CD, distributed in North America and Europe, but eventually went out of print. Carrie had gotten busy with work, art and relationships but had kept thoughts of a re-release on the backburner, just waiting for the right time and place to come along.

Now, in 2012, Carrie is still celebrating hardcore and the relationships it can build. Hardcore Maniacs (Carrie Whitney’s Zine) in association with 1000 Knives Productions (NYC-based talent booker Rich Hall, who is responsible for some of the best hardcore shows in NYC, formerly of CBGB) are excited to announce a re-release of this once legendary compilation, now called All About Friends Forever! AAFF features the original 11 tracks from the comp’s first pressing, remastered, with two more bonus songs from Harvest and I Wish I. Also included will be a separate, new LP with some of the best current bands in the hardcore/punk scene today: When Tigers Fight, Torchbearer, Heiress, Helms Alee, Olde Ghost, The Goddamn Rattlesnake, Steve Brodsky, and many more. A full track listing can be found below, and this special double-LP is slated for a release in May of 2012.

To fund the re-release of this important compilation, a 30-day-long Kickstarter fund has been started to raise the money for a deluxe double-LP vinyl-only release of All About Friends Forever. There will be various package deals with bonus material as well as the double-LP, including but not limited to: photo prints, hand screen-printed covers, 12-page booklet inserts, t-shirts, limited edition screen-printed posters, limited colored vinyl, and so much more. Carrie Whitney commented, “We decided to do a Kickstarter because we’ve had friends who had successful campaigns in the past, and it’s service is a nice, easy to absorb, reliable method to get the word out and raise money. If we were funding this ourselves, it would take years to raise enough money to properly release the comp. It’s also a good way of showing how much others believe in you enough to put up some dough to help your ideas.” She continued, “It’s the music that brought amazing people together, it’s the friendships made that will last forever!”

Please take a moment to check out AAFF’s Kickstarter page here. With the success of this project, Hardcore Maniacs & 1000 Knives Productions are hoping to continue promoting friendship, music, and art in the future.

We traveled out to New Jersey to catch Torchbearer to shoot more pics for the ALL ABOUT FRIENDS FOREVER comp and few other bands.Due to a mis management of time, hunger pains ,and a long explanation on why lucky dollar bills are turned upside down on walls. We only managed to really see Tiger Flowers and Argonauts. Argonauts was debuting their new singer Alfie from EAST OF THE WALL.. he was furious and took control of the vocals like he was a wolverine looking for food. Great job Alfie!!

Here’s some pics of the band crushing the Warren VFW hall.

Bio:

Formed shortly after the untimely demise of Undertow, Nineironspitfire was the culmination of five very different people’s anger, inspiration, and angst. It was a time of ever changing hardcore in the great Northwest and the bands of that era stood as examples to that truth. The new sound of Seattle; noise, chaos, and unbridled anger were leaps away from the posi bands of yesteryear like Brotherhood and Refuse. Nineironspitfire were one of the front runners and helped lead the way into this new dawn.

One of the main problems that always plagued the band was the continually rotating door of band members. Original guitarist Chad Peterson who had been a recent transplant to the area from Southern California (where he had quit and later re-joined Strife) was the first main band departure. This opened the door however for former Undertow alumni, Mark Holcomb, to join the band. After recording their demo, Mark left the band and moved to New York to play in Shift. Welcome Ryan Frederickson. The next to go was Ryan Kraft who left the band right after the recording of their 7”. Morgan Hendersn joined soon after but the line up didn’t last all that long. Vocalist John Pettibone quit within the year. Down to a four-piece, Demain took over on vocals as well as guitar and this is the line up that toured the U.S. in ‘97 as well as recorded their final songs which was released on a split 7” with then newcomers, Botch.

They broke up not to long after that tour.
