Bayside “S/T” CD  (LIMITED AUTOGRAPHED COPY)

We just got in some copies of a very limited edition CD autographed by all members of the band including drummer John “Beatz” Holohan who died tragically in October 2005. There were a handful found at the Victory offices and we are now passing onto you a very special item that will never be available again. Act fast if you are a fan of Bayside.

Only Crime “Virulence” CD

With just over two years passing since the release of their debut album To The Nines, ONLY CRIME unveils their latest creation, Virulence. The time has enabled the young band to grow as a unit, further honing the skill of interfusing melody amidst their signature dissonant sound. In case you don’t already know, ONLY CRIME is; Russ Rankin on vocals (Good Riddance), Bill Stevenson on drums (Descendents, All, Black Flag), Aaron Dalbec on guitar (Bane, Converge, Velocity Engine), Zach Blair on the other guitar (Hagfish, Gwar), and Donivan Blair (Hagfish, Armstrong) on bass. This mix of musicians doesn’t make perfect sense, but it all comes into focus when you hear the first track “Take Me”. This is a band built on deep friendships, a group of people whose common interests brought them together after years of developing themselves in other bands. 2007 will find ONLY CRIME taking their music to the masses, as they embark on tours throughout the US and beyond. Be sure not to miss them when they pull into your town!

REEL BIG FISH / ZOLOF THE ROCK & ROLL DESTROYER “Duet All Night Long” CD

Reel Big Fish and Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer becamefriends when the two bands toured together during the summerof 2005. The idea of doing a split CD together came up andunlike most split CD propositions, this one it happened. Theband decided to do something a little dierent with thisrecording deciding to make every track a duet. Aaron Barrett ofReel Big Fish and Rachel Minton of Zolof both contribute vocalsto every song. Zolof perform half of the songs while Reel BigFish perform the other half which makes for a very interestingfeel for this split.
To sum up this release, two of the best pop-rock bands in thecountry come together to bring you the best duets this side ofPaul McCartney and Stevie Wonder. Guaranteed to make youwish it was 1985. Features six exclusive tracks.

FREE Mix CD Club CD by Cody from Love Me Destroyer

FREE Mix CD Club CD by Scooter from Love Me Destroyer

FREE Mix CD Club CD by Taylor from Love Me Destroyer

This is a first, when we asked Love Me Destroyer to make a mix CD, we actually got 3 of them. 3 members from LMD took the time to submit a mix CD and they all have some very rocking stuff on them. Remember only 1 with each order, but I highly recommend collecting them all. Getting each one will give you a pretty good idea of what they sound like and the kind of stuff they love. While you are at it, you should pick up their new album which is fucking amazing!

Thanks guys for taking the time to make these mixes.
