Ricardo requested the insert/cover for this split (sorry for the delay!). But I couldn’t just post the insert and not the music! So here’s the total package.
Two songs by both bands. Easily one of my all-time favorite records. Reach Out continues right where their 7″ left off. Two vocalists, one shriller than the other, both punctuating a shared story. The guitars practically sing with them. The songs are progressively structured, not stuck in verse/chorus repetition. Both songs blend together (with lovely feedback), but I split them up. I thought about keeping them together, since they are practically one song.
Honeywell completely blew my mind on this split. I bought this for the Reach Out, but I stayed for the Honeywell. Just kidding – but you know what I mean. If… brings to mind a beast, breathing inside a cave, fumes and steam broiling out with each breath. And then it emerges and the whole world erupts. I obviously can’t write anything that will do this justice… so I’ll just say that the things I like about these songs are: super fast blasted drumming, with a steady bassdrum beat that’s half the time of the snare, absolutely devastating vocals that seem on the brink of falling into smoldering ruin, guitars that feedback, crunch, and speak sorrow all at the same time. If… is about uncertainty, complacency, etc. Five Minutes Only is about our cheap religions. Heaven is only an infinite treadmill away!
This came in 1993. I think it was on Anomaly Records. right?

Here’s my post with the Reach Out 7“. Here’s my post with the In Memory of Jason compilation, which features both bands. Here’s Hardcore for Nerds’ post with the Honeywell discography.
edit: In case you aren’t reading the comments –
here is Pukeko’s post with the (mostly) live on the radio Honeywell cassette!
Ricardo shared the Honeywell demo
and a live set by Reach Out from the Gilman
skywardeyes shared two early cassette tape recordings from Reach Out

And I added an early live recording from Honeywell, from a cassette – (this isn’t the 1993 KSPC set Pukeko linked to; this one has a handful of songs that I haven’t found elsewhere. It’s from 1992, and they definitely emo out on us more than usual here… )
Comments
anyone still have those reach out tapes? the mediafire links are dead
Ben - Yes! See above. I edited the post with the links.
Hey, did anyone download that column in HeartattaCk #44 featuring Sleeping Body? Please send it to me since the link Ricardo posted is dead. They’re my favorite hardcore band and I’d be really interested in seeing it.
If someone wants to send it to me, my email is megab1012000@gmail.com
Hi there. For the past two weeks, I’ve been searching everywhere for those Reach Out cassette recordings. I love the classics on the split 7” with Honeywell and the Reach Out 7” tracks but otherwise I’ve only been able to listen to their song on the In Memory Of Jason compilation and one song on YouTube from their Gilman St. cassette but I’ve been dying to hear the full set. For anyone reading in 2015 who’s willing to help, I need the downloads for: both of the Reach Out practice tapes and their Gilman St. and Tiffany’s live tapes. Any help is appreciated because MediaFire doesn’t have these available anymore. Please help. Sincerely, The Stoned Redneck
Heya. I have them, and I’ll upload them for you. It might be a day or two, though.

Here is Honeywell’s disc. I found it here, http://noisecorporation.blogspot.com/
Sorry for the delay,here is the column:
HeartattaCk #44 - Columns
http://www.mediafire.com/?21cyzoiy55e
Ricardo, what issue # is that article in?
Thanks for the Sleeping Body 7”.I have a HearattaCk with a short column about underrated bands like With Intent and Sleeping Body. I will scan and upload the column.
thanks. i didnt think to check discogs for some reason.
sounds like you’re describing this: http://www.discogs.com/release/1176122
i can provide pictures of the aforementioned record as well if need be…
i was able to snag a copy of this split on ebay years ago, but mine has altogether different packaging/art. the quality is much more d.i.y. punk rock… the sleeve is fashioned from a paper grocery bag with art stamped or screenprinted in brown and yellow. the front depicts what looks to be a shot from a show (as well as each of the bands’ names in cursive), while the back is printed with the anomaly records logo. the insert is about the size of a record sleeve and is printed with lyrics and a few photos.
does anybody know anything about pressing information on this release? i was under the impression that my copy was an original. alongside my indian summer/oordination of aaron split, its the favorite piece of my 7” collection.
yep. btw, a similar band from around that time was Sleeping Body, who had a 7” on Vermin Scum, which can be downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/?jdhldmkmmzj
Yeah Threepennie,his videos are amazing,thanks.
Somebody that knew the band uploaded everything by them on punktorrents last year, so that’s where i got those mp3s from. Same person also uploaded a video of them, which if you haven’t seen can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=REACHOUT+threepennie

This is the best post ever.The Manumission post is really awesome.
Both honeywell tapes are official releases, I think.
The reach out practice from 1993 is so ridiculously good, it should have been released as an lp or something!
Sweet!! thanks both of you. I can’t wait to listen to these. New songs, plus live and early demo recordings (I’m a sucker for junky recordings)!
Ricardo, here is the Honeywell cassette. Live On KSPC, 1992_10_24 Cassette.zip. Ryan H. told me he wasn’t that fond of these songs nor this recording, but I think they’re great. I’d say it’s some of my favorite stuff of theirs. Sorry band, fans win!
Hey Ryan, I was wondering if you could send me the links to both the Reach Out practice tapes and the Gilman St. and Tiffany’s live tapes because the links on here are dead. You’d be my hero. ;)
here are the two Reach out recordings Ricardo mentioned: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=05ce4e1550fa4942ab1eab3e9fa335cabf805ae4bc6cc20e
it’s repress on Kurt & Jason
I love soo much this record!!!! The Reach Out’s song “Message To…” is great,the vocals and the guitars are really awesome for me.Thanks Ryan,thanks. My english is sooo bad,this is the reason for my short comments.
Here is others links that I found:
Honeywell - Demo http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XSTB6ZNH
Reach Out - Live @ Gilman http://www.mediafire.com/?spcmkj7hs76
I know that Reach Out have two cassettes for a Sapila’s comment that I read. I really appreciate if anybody can upload.
Ryan in the future post that Honeywell cassette.
Best wishes!!
Excellent! Sapila sent me that download, but not the post. Thanks.
I also have a live cassette recording of theirs from KSPC from 1992 (yours is from 1993), with a bunch of different songs.
Here is my post of a (mostly) live on the radio Honeywell cassette:
