The Bled’s ‘Pass the Flask’: new vinyl pressing, t-shirt, skateboard & more

The Bled‘s debut album Pass the Flask turned 21 last year, and they’re keeping the celebration going with a new vinyl pressing. Our exclusive black variant is housed in a matte jacket with Spot UV gloss and includes an 11″x22″ lyric sheet. Pick yours up here.

There’s also a new limited edition skateboard, a t-shirt, and a Pass the Flask stress toy. Get all of those in the BV shop.

As we wrote when the album turned 20 in 2023, “Pass the Flask was produced by Saosin guitarist Beau Burchell and it came out on Florida’s Fiddler Records (which had previously helped launched the careers of Florida bands Dashboard Confessional and New Found Glory) after the band had stirred up some buzz locally for their first two EPs. Its success would lead to The Bled signing to Vagrant, who would reissue Pass the Flask and put out the band’s next two records. If you’ve never heard this one or haven’t dusted it off in a while, it holds up as a classic document of the early 2000s post-hardcore and metalcore boom, and you can hear its influence on a lot of today’s bands as well.” Stream it below.
