WE ARE DONE TAKING WILL CALL TICKETS BUT YOU’LL BE ABLE TO GET IN AT THE DOOR. PLENTY OF TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR…See you there.

Check out the following tracks from our upcoming releases:

Sacred Love’s “Dividing Lines” has been in the works for a long time. This EP was recorded and mastered late Summer 2010 and we rushed to make a limited pressing for the Youngblood Records 2010 Showcase in October.

Since then it has (mostly) laid dormant for the last seven months which is a damn shame because this EP is nothing short of incredible. No matter because it is finally seeing the light of day once and for all on June 21st.

Still a new band, Sacred Love continue to take giant steps forward with every recording. This 5-song, one-sided 12″ EP showcases their ever-growing ability and massive potential. We are very proud to bring you this release!

We have begun taking pre-orders for this record. Everyone who pre-orders will be emailed a code to instantly download a digital copy of the EP. Click here to preview all 5 tracks.

Track Listing for “Dividing Lines” 12″/Digital:
01. What’s Left Of This World?
02. Riot Dogs (Molon Labe)
03. WH II
04. Dividing Lines
05. Mirage

“Dividing Lines” kicks off a slew records and is the first of our Summer 2011 releases. A New Era.

We have some exciting plans and a lot of releases slated for 2011 so it’s time to get moving and welcome a new band to the label…

Detroit’s Own Face Reality formed in early 2008. After recording a demo and their 2009 debut 7″ entitled “Positive Change” (Dead End Records) they buckled down for most of 2010 to write and record a six-song EP of incredible Straight Edge hardcore.

Face Reality cite Warzone, Turning Point, Youth Of Today and Mouthpiece as influences and they’ve been steadily working towards becoming the powerhouse that they are now. We are very honored to welcome another great band to the Youngblood roster.

Spring 2011 will see the release of Face Reality’s eponymous 7″ EP on Youngblood Records. Click here to listen to “Seeker” from the EP.

“We’ll stick together through the hard times.”
- Face Reality, Detroit Straight Edge

SACRED LOVE “S/T” PRE-ORDERS NOW
We’ve had this 7″ in the works all Summer and we’re happy to finally offer it up for pre-order. Limited to 500 copies, this 7″ is their demo mastered and cut at 45 RPM. 200 copies were pressed on purple vinyl and 300 were pressed on black. Grab one now or regret it in a few short months once everyone has realized what a powerhouse this band is. This is your heads up.

Baltimore’s Sacred Love, featuring members of Mindset, Brick and Praise, formed in November of 2009 and quickly recorded an incredible demo in February. They cite the Bad Brains, Cro-Mags and the early Dischord roster as influences and we also hear a bit of Burn and Beyond in their music. Sacred Love continue to write at a lightning fast pace and we will be announcing details regarding their follow up to the “S/T” 7″ next week. Stay tuned.

POLICE & THIEVES “BLIZZARD SESSIONS ’10″ CASSETTE PRE-ORDERS HAPPENING NOW
Police & Thieves had been demo-ing throughout the year in an effort to get the new material absolutely dialed before entering the legendary Inner Ear Studios to record their 12″ EP due out soon on Youngblood. One such session took place during the Blizzard Of 2010 and we liked the resulting recording so much that we decided to release it. We’re proud to bring you this session released on the proper format for all demos: the cassette.

The Police & Thieves “Blizzard Sessions ’10″ demo has been pressed up on pro-printed chrome audio cassettes and is strictly limited to 100 copies. Our once-abandoned imprint, Youngblood Vaults, has been resurrected to release this and possibly more upcoming demo cassettes.

“Blizzard Sessions ‘10” is a preview of what’s to come with Police & Thieves new 12” EP. Which, by the way, has been recorded and is currently in the mixing process!

FIRED UP “WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT” FINAL PRESSING
In addition to the Sacred Love and Police & Thieves stuff, we are also taking orders for the final pressing of the Fired Up “When The Lights Go Out” 7″. This version is on purple vinyl with a limited cover and is numbered out of 110 copies.
