Still working on the ETAE - discography LP. The band didn’t send in artwork and the masters yet but we are getting there. Thanks to Yoshi for the translation and help. For late summer (maybe September for Zoro fest) I hope to have a new HERÄTYS 7inch ready. They were so good at Punk Illegal and i am super happy they asked me to do a 7inch. Watch out for their last LP (on notenough.se) and for live shows, they are a damn riper. For later this year (~November) I work on a new LP and tour for my Japanese tomodatchi CRUDE and also this autumn/winter i am stoked to release a new VICTIMS album. It will not be called killer again but it definitely will be killer. Some more reissues and maybe some new releases are on my list too but step by step.
VICTIMS will cruise the streets of Europe with me again for 5 days in July around ObsceneExtreme fest. KYLESA will hit the road with CONVERGE, don’t miss out.
Check the dates for the shows and come by.

MARTYRDÖD - Sekt is available on vinyl now -> the LP is out!!! I didn’t knew if it would ever happen cause it seemed the curse was unbreakable but finally with a 9 month delay this bastard is out. As is the NAILS - S/t 7inch. A great debut of this Berlin based punkrock band of good friends of mine. There were some problems with the sound but it’s out as good as it was possible.
I updated the DATES section with some NAILS shows, VICTIMS festival appearances and the 2010 spring tour of KYLESA. Can’t wait to see em live again.
So only good news this time and I will lay back with a smile now.

Moi Moi
back from holidays i am. Already for 10 days and just really arrived back here and off i am again. Vacation was great, meeting my parents and my sister rocked and having my best friend Lisa on my side is always good. Sorry for taxing your patience so much by being so moody and thanks for staying with me.
Next days i am off to Suomi with Disfear to have my road and punk show fix and see my Mumin friends.
Martyrdöd LP is still in a complete new mastering process to hopefully get a satisfying result on vinyl. Everything we tried by now didn’t really convince us so now my soundmaster Frank “SAW” Bolz is sitting over it… stay tuned, it will come out one day!!!

WASTED TIME and GOVERNMENT WARNING EUROPE TOUR starts today, don’t miss them. The WASTED TIME 12inches i made for the tour are delayed. Fuck, several things piled up again and now it’s the classic last minute/delayed story and i hate it. Records are in press but another holiday and the weekend delay the delivery so the earliest the band will have their colored copies (gold and solid dark blue!) in Freiburg. Sorry, especially to the band. CRIMINAL DAMAGE are also on tour in Europe and i look forward finally seeing them live. DISFEAR make a short Denmark weekend trip and VICTIMS fly over the ocean to rock the US… Many great tours and shows are happening the next months so my couch will definitely miss me. MARTYRDÖD LP testpressings should arrive this week and if there is no mistake the record will be ready for the Be-Part.Festival VI, 11. - 14. June 2009. This weekend (22./23.Mai 2009) is the ALERTA ANTIFASCISTA FESTIVAL #8 in Hannover.
Hasta Luego y Rock On

Finally after several delays the KYLESA - Static Tensions LP European pressing is laying in front of me. Sorry to all waiting for it for so long, i did my best but bad luck and stupid shit didn’t help and my best was not enough. It turned out brilliant though. Quality and layout match perfect. Get your copies from www.punkdistro.de (there you also get a A2 poster and sticker with every mailordercopy). WASTED TIME - And So It Goes : The First 2 EP’s 12inch is in the pressing plant for the testpressing as is the WASTED TIME - Futility European Pressing 12inch. Also a little late but i do my best it’s ready for the tour. Hope my best is enough this time. Watch out, “Futility” is a damn riper!!! Both records come in thick cardboard and heavy vinyl and for their tour and for the punkdistro mailorder there will be a small quantity in color. Pre-orders are possible at www.punkdistro.de. MARTYRDOD - Sekt LP will go to the pressing plant next week for testpressings and should be out for the BePartFestival 11.-14. June.

I normally don’t like to announce releases before i have them in my hands but this ones seem to happen 100%.
I am stoked to make a European vinyl edition of the new KYLESA LP Static Tensions. Details when everything is in print and press.
I also will do a EPs 12inch of US hardcore ragers WASTED TIME their Euro Tour with Government Warning containing their two 7inches “S/t” and “No Shores” and I’ll do a European Pressing of their upcoming LP.
Still in the works is the MARTYRDÖD “Sekt” LP.
Some other great stuff is lined up too but i don’t wanna talk about it before i at least have the material here and know it will happen.

In December 2 great releases i cooperated in came out and you should not miss them.
The Lycanthro Punks from Wolfbrigade released their 4th and by now best full length and the Embryo Punks from Gewapend Beton released a new ass kicking 12inch.
Both releases are available through our main distributor info@punkdistro.de

WOLFBRIGADE - “Comalive” LP/CD (www.myspace.com/wolfbrigadeofficial)
Wolfbrigades 4th full length and their best one. They bring in good elements of the pre-WB times while still keeping the new achieved skills from records like “In Darkness…” Käng to the max. Packed in a nice silver printed classic Wolfbrigade style cover. - Coop with Farewell and US version on Deranged.
No sales to Amerika -> contact Deranged -
GEWAPEND BETON - “Empty Batteries EP” 12inch (www.myspace.com/embryopunx)
New 12inch of the embryo punks and as expected they exceed their previous releases with this kick ass hc/punk EP. Still a great mix between early UK and US Hardcore this time with even more blazing hardcore riffs. 6 songs of Pogo Punk with a driving hardcore dose and an intensity which proves that after all their batteries are fully charged. - A cooperation with CrucialAttack, NL.

Hospital took way longer. 13 instead the expected 4 days. They were able to do way more than just to remove the metal. 2 muscles were stuck together and were separated, some bones were planed, metal was removed and more. On the long run this will help my arm to get better, never 100% but maybe 90%. But for now the surgery worked me over way harder than i thought and i am pretty weak, physical and mental. Feels like a big throw back but i know it will all go better just needs time. Business: The distribution/mailorder project punkdistro.de is up and running and they distribute and trade all my releases. I have no time and energy for direct business anymore, sorry. 3-way Split is out as you know, Disfear - Misanthropic Generation LP reissue is in the pressing plant. La Famila Fest is set… My new website is up but for now only a temporary version: lafamiliareleases.com
