Revelation Records has announced a special reissue of Bold's 1988 record, Speak Out, to be available on vinyl wiht a 40-page booklet and embossed gatefold package.
The straight edge hardcore classic has been remastered for vinyl and will also release on limited cassette.
Vocalist Matt Warnke reflects:
We quickly became part of a burgeoning scene whose message, values, ideas and vision for an improved version of society was starting to take hold within a significant segment of those we were connected through within the hardcore scene. We made the decision to change the name of the band to BOLD [originally Crippled Youth] for perception reasons and wanted the album which became Speak Out to represent the name change and our overall ambitions and view of things. Talk Is Cheap, Now Or Never, Always Try and Nailed To The X were all written in '86 and incorporated in our set. Clear, Accept The Blame and Intro/Change Within soon followed as did Wise Up, which was included on the Way It Is Comp. Still Strong and Search were written in the weeks just prior to beginning recording sessions.
The songs which comprise the album were recorded at Electric Reels Studio in Pleasant Valley, NY. The four of us spent a good deal of time recording the tracks which make up this record, and feel this version gives justice to the time that we all put into it.
Scene Point Blank reviewed the record at age 18 here. Order it here.
