For Record Store Day 2013, Irish Voodoo Records will be selling a limited version of the Forced Down - Rise 7". I'm a pretty big fan of this idea, as I feel Forced Down has been too overlooked over the years. if all goes well, hopefully a remixed/remastered discography will see the light of day.
Back when I was a teen, Forced Down was one of my favorite hardcore
bands from the late 80′s to early 90′s. Seeing them live was amazing,
and I would drive over a hour to San Diego to see them. Forced Down
didn’t sound like any other band at that time, and when I think of San
Diego hardcore I think of Forced Down. Fast forward to 2013, who
thought I would even be doing a label, let alone meeting Mike Down years
ago and doing this little project. It might not be a big deal to
others, but it’s a big deal to me. This is not a special repress on
some crazy colored vinyl, or remixed and mastered, this is the original
record with original labels from over 20 years ago. I'm going to do 4
different covers, with the same pic, but different words from each song on the
cover/poster/insert.
The 7" will be for sale on the Irish Voodoo website on Record Store Day - 4/20.
