Sirens from the Ruhrpott area
are one of the most active and well known Hardcore bands in Germany. Since their debut "Calling" (Cobra Rec./Poisonfree) SIRENS are constantly playing/touring and they got much more than a solid feedback. We are also fans since day one so it was no question for us to put the new album out together when COBRA RECORDS asked us!
You already liked their debut EP "calling" and don't expect any big steps forward? Moose your head, fool!!! The LP contains 10 brand new songs pressed on limited colored vinyl with a beautiful gatefold winterjacket. On that bonus 7'' there are 2 older partly re-arranged songs, re-recorded with that great IN CIRCLES-production. It will be only available at the DA and CXR headquaters and at our main man XsentientX. The CD-version comes with a sick digipack on cobra x records / clarity records. SIRENS combine a similar formula of melodic hardcore riffs, catchy rock rhythms and highheels vocals. It's no secret that these guys love early 90's hardcore, all the Conversion and early Rev. stuff! They will hit the road (UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany) to promote the new record in march 08. So lean back, take some snacks, order your copies and listen to the sweet tunes of the SIRENS!

Due to
the fact that GOODBYE SWEET HALO are even more lazy than we are we have to fill this with more information later! ;) Meanwhile listen to their stuff here or at MySpace.
With the "Cows Are Cool" 7" GSH gave us the gift of 5 outstanding catchy and melodic punkrock/hardcore songs that left us with our eyes and mouths wide open from the first time we've listened to it. All the songs have outstanding lyrics deserving more than just reading and sing along to them! Featuring members of RITUAL and THE HERTBREAK MOTEL.
We released the 7" in cooperation with CHAMBERS RECORDS. Check them out too!

The debut release „Epilogues“ is out on a one-sides 12“ and on CD done by CLARITY RECORDS. These fine Ibbenbüren-based youngsters play melodic, rough and snotty Punkrock in the vein of KID DYNAMITE, early LIFETIME and 80’s cali-punk. Expect catchy punk rock songs and an energetic liveshow!

Sprung from, and deeply engaged in the independent music community as well as the anarchist and animal liberation-movement of Gothenburg, here's Sweden's new hope; ANCHOR! Rising from the ruins of sadly missed bands such as DAMAGE CONTROL and SET MY PATH.
Formed, not only to entertain but also to provoke critical thought and inspire action ANCHOR threw themselves into the fray on a 16 day parade through northern europe with Germany's finest, RITUAL only two months after the bands birth.
The music we make can be seen as a natural extension of how all of us are activists in one sense or the other. Be it through playing music, doing fanzines, promoting shows or getting active in local political groups.
ANCHOR's first release, a 7" entitled "Captivity songs" manifests a band with an alarming need, to not only be creative and scream and shout but more importantly also to reach out and communicate ideas and feelings in an adequate way. We feel that very few bands care to do this.
All of this together makes ANCHOR a band to be reckoned with for a long time in the future. Reinstate your hearts!
ANCHOR will release their debut full-length in 2008 through CATALYST RECORDS and REFUSE RECORDS. Get it!
