From GORILLA BISCUITS, YOUTH OF TODAY and CIV, to QUICKSAND, WALKING CONCERT and RIVAL SCHOOLS, if you grew up on hardcore or alternative music in the last few decades it’s safe to say one of Walter Schreifels’ bands has made an impact on you. Run For Cover Records announced today that they are teaming up with Schreifels to re-issue his 2010 solo LP An Open Letter to the Scene on August 18, 2016. The LP will be accompanied by a 7″ featuring two brand new songs by Schreifels, “Overjoyed b/w Lover’s Theme”. Stereogum mag premiered the new track “Overjoyed” and it can be streamed right here!
