Drastic Actions started in 2005 with the idea to use the internet to spread some videos. Well, YouTube made this unnecessary as fuck, so Tassilo chose to focus on other things. The idea to start a label was there from the beginning, but not realised so far. The DA homepage was enhanced with a 2nd hand records sales list, and in december 2005 the first DA release saw the light of day. Hagen did also a 2nd hand distro this time (for sure the lousiest distro in the whole fucking world, man!) and due to the fact that they are friends they decided to sell their souls together.
Drastic Actions is connected to the DIY culture of Punk and Hardcore. That means, we want to sell records for fair prices, through communicaton instead of exaggerated marketing. We're doing this for fun and our own pleasure. We are collectors and music-lovers. We don't earn a cent through this because we don't want to. The money we get through DA will be used for the label only. We want to take a stand against violent and nonsensically music. So let's make punk a threat again.
