Swingin' Utters, the long-running San Francisco punk band who has released the bulk of its catalog on Fat Wreck Chords, has announced a special vinyl edition of More Scared: The House of Faith Years, in honor of the album's 25th anniversary. This special 16-song collection will release in limited supply via SideOneDummy Records, complete with new art and a full remaster by Jack Shirley.
