SSD will follow up the reissue of their debut LP, The Kids Will Have Their Say, with a reissue of their sophomore release, Get It Away -- available July 19th via Trust Records. The release will feature deluxe packaging, remastered audio, and become available on digital platforms for the first time. Drummer Chris Foley comments on the album:
It was much more organized as far as the sessions went and we were more prepared. When I listen back, it sounds like the vinyl can barely hold all the sound. I think sometimes the arc of a band intersects with the arc of public taste and you have a moment. Whether it’s the cover art by Pushead (Metallica, Septic Death) or the pictures of us playing at CBGB on the back or maybe it’s just how unique we sounded in 1983. I think for some people it captured a moment in time.
Bassist Jaime Sciarappa adds:
When we were kids doing this stuff, I don’t remember thinking about future relevance. I’ve got to admit it’s pretty cool nowadays to hear how much the album meant to them and many have it in their top five hardcore albums of all-time, which is a nice compliment.
In addition to the deluxe reissue of Get It Away, Trust Records and Six Stair Productions are working together on a documentary of the band. You can check out Get It Away: The Story of SSD - Part 1 below:
