Stockholm var jävla fantastisk
The Stockholm trip, the 2 shows (Sonic Ritual and the Victims, Mob 47 show) were brilliant, the nights at Bröderna Olssons with great Metal DJing and the rock’n'roll night at Debaser too and having Lisa and Mikisch with me and meeting so many good friends was the best. Breakfast in Nyköping was a perfect ending. Tack för allt!!!
I am back home trying to solve some controversial and also get ready for a short trip in the sun. More soon.
Upcoming releases: Kylesa, Wasted Time, Martyrdöd…
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.
Latest Releases: WOLFBRIGADE LP & GEWAPEND BETON 12inch
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.
Back i am and over it is
The FU Tour was a blast and a worthy farewell to touring Europe. I had good times with the kick ass Canadians and the days with my comrades Victims in Suomi were brilliant like always too. Thanks to the Canadians and Swedes and Fins for great days and nights. Also the tour(s) gave me the affirmations i expected. I still could tour and can have good times on tour but i don’t need and don’t want it anymore. I for sure will be seen on the road here and there at weekends with good friends but the tourbiz is done for me for now. Back home is great. A lot of rehab aftercare like muscle training, physiotherapy and doctor appointments and checks but also a lot of walks, meeting with friends… By the way: HARDSKIN + Flo ruled OiOiOi
FUCKED UP + VICTIMS = Goodbye touring
I will jump in a van again for a short time. I know, i know i said i will not tour again but it’s the last tour with my van (i’ll sell it to Niko from Hannover after the tour -> info(at)pain-of-mind.com) and i wanna have some good times with my loved Canadians of FU and go up to my Swedish family in Stockholm and do the traditional Suomi trip with Victims. Check the DATES section.
DISFEAR - “Misanthropic Generation” LP
It’s done, after quite some time this fine release is available on vinyl again. Misanthropic Generation is Disfears 4th album and the first one with their current lineup (missing Uffe) and the one which made them step out/further from their old style. Still D-Beat but more rock, still brutal but more groove = just fucking brilliant. 13 songs (one vinyl only song) of crushing d-beat with rocking melodies. The record comes in a nice heavy cardboard gatefold. 500 on dark olivgreen/black marbled vinyl! The Cd is available from Relapse and the vinyl was originally done by Feralward and I licensed it from Relapse.
Oh, for the ‘name droppers’: featuring Henrik Frykman and Björn Pettersson from Anti-Bofors and Marcus Andersson from Oxelösund!!!
LA FAMILIA FEST is over = time to take a break
LA FAMILIA FEST was an amazing blast. All 3 shows were sold out and burst from the energy from the crowd and the bands. Thanks to all the promoters and venues for their effort. Thanks to all the bands and the DJ for coming, play and kick ass live. Thanks to all my friends who came by and made the evenings so great and thanks to all visitors to provide such energy and fun. Sorry to all the people who couldn’t get in and especially sorry to the organizers who had to make sure that no more people get in and got a lot of bullshit for that.
Now i take a break from the activist front. I will still release records and take part in some releases but all communication concerning tours, shows, records, business and so on has to go through info@punkdistro. I need time to focus on my health and future.
LA FAMILIA FEST starts today
Today starts the little fest tour. Please come by in Potsdam, Hamburg, Mülheim and have good times at fun shows. I’ll be in Hamburg and Mülheim and would be super happy to see many familiar faces!!!
Disfear + Doomriders are hitting the road after that weekend check the dates section and go to see them. Good guys, killer bands and great live entertainment!
LaFamiliaFest, Disfear MG LP, Punkdistro
Some lines to keep the people who really read what i write updated. LaFamilaFest is coming closer and nearly all is set. NOW DENIAL backed out of the Mülheim show cause they are insecure about their live quality with their new guitar player for now. We have a brilliant stand in. SICK MORMONS another embryo punks band which kicks ass. Classic SoCal Punk.
I will miss the Potsdam show cause i am in ambulatory rehab again. Good for my condition but sucks i miss out finally seein Insuiciety again and crowdsurf in Potsdam. I will also not make it to the Disfear shows in Karlsruhe and Munich and can’t spend the weekend i wanted in Munich. Damn i really wanted a Bretzl Tattoo from Jani, eat Bretzl and more with Flo at Michls Kopfeck… Anyway, the shows will rock.
Disfear MG Lp is in the pressing plant but we’re running late cause the testpress is not confirmed yet and some artwork things are not fixed… Hope they’ll have it in Potsdam already.
Punkdistro started pretty good, so if you wanna order my releases or have tour, backline, van, merch… questions, write them and they might be able to help.
