Posted by aubin on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 at 12:49 PM (EST)

Rivalry Records has signed The First Step. The band, which formed in 2001, recorded their debut full length, What We Know with producer Walter Schreifels (Gorilla Biscuits) and plans to release the album in April 2006.

The label describes the band as "the urgency and intensity of Youth of Today, the positive delivery of Insted, and a strongly rooted foundation in old D.C. and Orange County hardcore." They previously released an EP on Livewire Records.

These guys are one of best old-school hardcore acts out there right now.. I'm very excited for this release.

These guys are ridicously overhyped. The record is great and all that, but seriously, what's the deal with all the hype in newer old school hardcore?

They're overhyped because everyone i know who're into this kind of stuff still talks about them 24/7, yeah, 10 times more than righteous jams, who the tfs jockers call overrated. Yeah, they are a good band, but it just seems really random to pick them out of the crowd since all the other bands they listen to have equally catchy, equally fast and sound equally great live.

rivalry is the brightest shining star in hardcore right now. I'm glad they're getting bigger and garnering more attention. The dudes that run that label deserve everything that comes their way.

tfs are horribly generic, and suck pretty bad, i hope they break up and stop flooding the scene with white hooded sweatshirts.
