RENEGADES

Quick update. WOLF X DOWN had some news to share. Their new 7" on Start A Fire Records is up for pre-order now. Here's a teaser to that new slab of vinyl

and here is a new song. It's the title track of their new ep called "Renegades"

More of the Boys from the blackstuff

Man did I not pay attention to this band in the beginning. Unfortunately that is! But ever since I saw them live at Ninja Fest in I think 2007, or was it 2008? I don't remember. And who cares? They are awesome no matter when they blew me away for the first time. I can't get enough of the DOWN AND OUTS. Sadly I never saw them live again but gladly managed to get my hands on a vinyl copy of "boys from the blackstuff" and their split 7" with Death Is Not Glamorous. For some reason their records are pretty hard to track down although I still have some copies of "friday nights, monday mornings" for sale that nobody seems to want. Escapes me! What you ask? Both! That nobody wants to buy those records from me and that at the same time I can't find their earlier output. Well.... one reason for that might be that I didn't even know about their first 7" "forever punk" from 2006. Just like I didn't know about the 2007 follow up 7" called "Minneapolis" and the split 7" w/ Offshore Radio and the 4 way split LP from 2005. Only today I had the pleasure to read about those releases on the bands facebook page when they shared some news. But now that I know about those platters I will definitely be on look out for them. The fact that today I found the split 7" that was still missing in my collection should underline that statement ;) I love it. I read about something I want to have and think I'll probably have a hard time finding it but then only a few hours later I can cross it off my list again. Let's cross our fingers the other ones will be about as easy to come by.
But hey... you might say. What about those news you mentioned? Well... they have a bandcamp. Is that news? I don't know. Maybe it's new maybe not but what's new for sure is that they are putting all the old stuff on there for everyone to download. For free? Not really but it's hella cheap. So check that out. There's info on pressings and recordings and other tidbits that sweetened the day of an old hardcore kid like me.
Now you might call that pretty lame news because you already downloaded all that stuff illegally from the web or already have all those records. Then here's something for you. Of course I saved the best part for last. The new album is finished!!! To me that's like the cherry on top of the cream on a cupcake. Good news on an already good day. Can't wait to hear the tunes and see that vinyl spin on my record player. I'm on holidays so I'll leave it at that and call it a day. Nighty night and sleep tight world.

SSD... RSD Glue

Yes it's a while back already but some of you might not have seen the pictures and videos of the SNIFFING GLUE show at one of the best Recordstores aka Hitsville Records in Düsseldorf, Germany.
In celebration of Record Store Day Hitsville and Search For Fame Records put out a SNIFFING GLUE LP that features 13 cover songs and is ltd. to 222 copies with hand silkscreened covers on very heavy cardboard. Deluxe shit as always.

The Future is now

I'm having a bit of time on my hands lately to enjoy life aka nerding around on the internet. So I found the following posts on a blog that never ceases to amaze me: designlaunches.com. If any of the titles and attached photos of their posts catches your interest hit the pic to get to the source of and learn more about it. Here we go starting things of with a post that doesn't really fit the title I gave my post but is still something I like and in a way minimalistic living is quite futuristic. Even if it's only a holiday retreat and not really something you would want to live in or do you?

Another new Tranzmitors record

Most of you are probably in the know about the Transmitorz new 7" on React! Records which is available right here.

But do you also know that these fellows already have another one in the pipeline?

While anticipating their new release on React! I was pretty much caught off guard by these news and therefore even the more excited.

La-Ti-Da Records who already put out one of their earlier singles (Some Girls b/w Dancing in the frontrow) are taking care of the latest recordings these stylesterz churned out. The regular black vinyl out of 350  is available for pre-order in the sidebar on this site here and a ltd. to 150 copies color vinyl edition is available in a bundle that pairs it with 5 more La-Ti-Da 7"es
