Pin drop records was a record label ran by one of the guys from the band Holdstrong, Matt Myrdal. The First release on Pin Drop was, not surprisingly, a Holdstrong 7" titled "Gaining Ground". This comp, Together As One, was the second release from the label and surprisingly only had two Pin Drop records bands on it, Holdstrong and Cross Current. The other two bands that appear on this 7" are the infamous Brothers Keeper and Hatebreed. From what I have heard, this Hatebreed track, Mark My Words, May be the first thing Hatebreed ever recorded. There is still a super outdated Pin Drop Records website online from 2000. On that website I found this excerpt about this comp:
"Holdstrong, Brother's Keeper, Crosscurrent, and Hatebreed. Four crazy bands causing mass mayhem. This record just went out of print. As of now there are no plans to do another repress. We don't think there is a hardcore kid in the world that doesn't have this or have a taped copy of this compilation 7". If you are one of the unlucky ones that didn't get a copy we think a couple distros still might have one or two. Write to Very or Temperance."
Pressing info
-Black(blue or yellow cover)
-Translucent Yellow(Pink Cover)
Above is a scan of my copy, which happens to be in the translucent yellow pressing.
Inserts
As far as I know, The inserts are the the same on both pressings. Also, it is not a separate piece of paper, instead its printed on the inside of the 7" cover.
This release is a pretty common 7", but still something that is awesome to own and listen to. If you're interested in buying a physical copy, click here.
Sadly for this release, I do not have a Download link at the moment, BUT if you want to give it a listen, I have made a youtube playlist with all four songs. Check it out below.
