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.
