VA - Noize Vol. 1

Well this album is a bit of an anomaly. It's an official Tooth & Nail release, but you could never get it from the label. Instead it was an insert that came with This Prophecy magazine, but only to those who were new subscribers. Which you know means small print run. It has a few bands that later signed to the Nail, or bands/artists that the label was attempting to sign. Plus, a band (Wickedszend) drops the n-word on it! This is the only time a band has done such with the labels releases.

Tracklist:

1. Starflyer 59 - The Dungeon
2. Plankeye - Free Me (labelled as Plank Eye)
3. Joy Electric - The Girl From Rosewood Lane
4. Morella's Forest - Oceana
5. Chatterbox - Epignosis
6. The Blamed - Help Yourself
7. Wish For Eden - Ocean

Notes: This album is not actually called Silver. The actual name for it is Starflyer 59, same with the second release from them. It is just referred to as Silver because of the monochromatic grey colour of the album cover.

Focused - Bow

You all know this. It's the first ever hardcore release from Tooth & Nail Records. This is when the label was still located in California. There's not much I can say about this release that you don't already know. Other than maybe that Mark Salamon, the lead singer of Stavesacre, Native Son, Outer Circle and Neon Horse, had a hand in the artwork for this release. Speaking of which, I am not sure if that is supposed to be clouds in the background, or waves.

1. Bow

2. Forever

3. Walk Beside Me

4. Forward

5. Strain

6. Behold

7. Perfect Will

8. Falling Down

9. Open My Eyes

10. Blinded

11. Absence

Wish For Eden - Pet The Fish

Sorry for not posting in this earlier, but I forgot the email address I used to even set up this blog. Anyways, here is the very first ever Tooth & Nail release. I'm sure you who are interested in the label already know everything there is to know about this release. It's Grunge. That can either be a good or a bad thing. It depends on your musical tastes I guess.


Tracklist:

1		Questions
2		Ocean
3		Don't Know
4		U Could
5		Green
6		Fly
7		Me
8		Fade
9		Blood
10		Pet The Fish

You can get it here.


An interesting note: the artwork is an actual piece of artwork that you can buy. I forget who, but one day when I was watching MTV Cribs, someone had it hanging in their living room, minus the Wish For Eden and Pet The Fish writing on it.
