Embraced and absorbed by the booming NYC Hardcore scene, BOLD quickly found themselves alongside the likes of Straight Ahead, Underdog, Warzone, Supertouch, Side By Side, Gorilla Biscuits, Sick Of It All, and of course, Youth Of Today, by the time 1987 rolled around. Not only were they growing up physically, BOLD's sound was evolving with a harder, denser, and even more convincing mix of straight edge hardcore tracks that would end up comprising the "Speak Out" twelve inch LP. Recorded throughout 1987 at upstate NY's Electric Reels Studios (the home of the Underdog EP and YOT's "Break Down The Walls," which Drew played drums on), Speak Out was a work in progress that took never-ending weekend trips by the band to complete. Though originally slated for a late 1987 release on Orange County, California's Wishingwell Records, dissatisfaction with the OC label's continuous delays and prioritizing led to a shift in plans. The growing surge of then-Connecticut based Revelation Records along with some sweet talk from owners Jordan Cooper and Ray Cappo resulted in the decision to make "Speak Out" Revelation release number nine.
