#tapetuesday #WarriorSoul “The Space Age Playboys” 1994/95 Fierce Records US #cassette #tape pressing #stillsealed Warrior Soul were such an interesting case study- signed to Geffen when everyone was looking for the next ….Jane’s Addiction and Pixies and put out several killer records. But they were eclipsed by label mates Nirvana and the rest was history. (at Mad River Valley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmHp7oIOMNM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#tapetuesday #FatesWarning “Awaken The Guardian” @metalbladerecords 1986/1993 #cassette #tape pressing #stillsealed our store and FW go way way back, to the early 80s… and many a Waterbury Saturday John Arch would stop in to visit and hang out (anonymously) and we’d also see @jdibiase812 quite a bit too! Then some time in the early-mid 90s the band played a pair of shows at the Sports Palace and somehow I ended up driving them around to and from the hotel and our in-store, etc. My memory of that was a) the shows were amazing and b) it was very very cold out! Anyhow, just thought these #metal pioneers worth mentioning today. For my money they were way better than Queensryche to whom they were often compared.
