Episode 4 - 02-10-2008

Hey fans,

Another episode and another bunch of tapes flipped.

This week F.T.T looked at the phenominal new thursday/Envy split EP, a surprise shock release for 2008 that really has blown away all expectations.   Both bands have delivered stand-out tracks and the EP itself can be arguably viewed as one of the best post-hardcore releases for 2008.

It will be out on CD/VINYL (together, you can't pick it up seperately) on November 4, but some webstores out there are selling pre-order special edition copies which are well worth snapping up.

This baby's probably going to be on my forthcoming top 10 releases of the year,  I highly recommend it.

looking forward into the programming, flip.the.tape will be joined by several guests in the coming weeks both international and local.  Stay tuned to this blog for more information.

Next week will see an interview with Tim Melville of Bear.HIDE! Tapes, a DIY label/distro based in melbourne.   Tim Will be in to talk about Bear.HIDE!'s second release as well as their launch party at the Espy on the 10th of October (there may even be tickets to win!),

see you next week,

Adam
