about About ABOUT!!!

This blog is mainly about what I do, did and like within the realms of Hardcore, Punk, Rock 'n' Roll or whatever you want to call it.

Also I'll be spicing it up with whatever I think is of interest and might be nice for my (and maybe your) life in that world outside of collecting records and going to shows.

ENDEAVORS!
PAST & PRESENT

xSTEPDOWNx SHOWS

I started putting up shows in 2005 with a friend who slowly dropped out of it and was most active doing so until the end of 2007 with a total of 23 shows in those 3 years. In 2008 and 2009 I promoted one show each but none in 2010. And then came the day that another friend of mine talked me into helping him with putting up shows. So we had our first go at it in Nov. 2011 which was wildly successful. As a result of that Stepdown is back on the map. We would like to do more than our busy schedules allow us but if you still want us to keep you posted follow this blog or like us on Facebook where you can also check out our past show-flyers

FUCK YOU -

NON-PROFIT MAILORDER

I started up that distro in the mid 90's. I really can't remember exact dates. But I know that the first records I had on sale were a bunch of dead wood I got from Edward - Good Life. It was great for getting things started but at the same time it was hard getting rid of those.

After a while a friend of mine joined in and started taking over the whole opperation as he was much more active than me and I was more into politics than music at the time. So I quit FxU and took all the 'zines, books and political brochures with me to start something new.

This beast underwent a few namechanges but never took off due to the lack of interest by the general hc-kid. So I gave everything to people who hadn't been as jaded and disillusioned as I was at that time and stepped out of that arena.

VINYL-OD DISTRO

Back to the year 2005 again. After having spent some time away from "the hc-scene" (not the music, let alone philosophy) and slowly growing back into it. Pushed by a good start with xSTEPDOWNx I joined forces with another friend and started dealing Vinyl again. Now this got as messy as it can get so that I am now left with loads of records that nobody wants anymore. Trying to sell those off, dropping the name Vinyl-OD changing the agenda and merging this section with the label you can read about next.

SANDBLASTER

RECORDS & DISTRO

Totally boosted by all the great bands that were around I came up with the idea to put out a compilation LP in 2006. Joining forces with yet another friend to tackle that project led to the release of 3LP's and a split released MCD. Unfortunately the last LP we put out was by a band that decided to call it quits shortly after the 12" came out. Leaving us with about 400 of the 500 pressed records and most of our money tied up in those.

The lack of money and time (as our daily schedules got more and more busy) made us go on hiatus until mid 2011. Which is when the Get It Done! demo tape was released.

This was followed by the Telegraph Road demo tape and that's that for Sandblaster Records. For several reasons we decided to fold it but you can still check out all the release info and details about the records we did. One of the reasons is

GOOD INTENTIONS HC

which yet another friend and I started. It's an online store for merch and music. And though it's way legit now everything is still run 100% DIY.

With SBR I tried to specialize in distributing classic records be they old and used or current reissues / bootlegs and this is what we continue doing with GIHC next to making merch from US bands available right here in europe so you can save a few bucks on postage. We also do XcatalystX europe and of course we release records/ tapes too. From now on you will even be able to listen to those. Including each of the SBR releases. All hail the future!!

EXCUSE

Was my 1st ever Band. I think we started out in '97 but don't quote me on it. We did release a demo called "eleminate the opposition" and one of the members later played in Settle The Score RIP. I tried to play the guitar but sucked at it and stopped when that band due to ongoing member changes became...

NIRDEZNEB

Which I never really felt like being a part of. So in 2000 I split for good. They went on to release a CD and do a euro-tour with Creation Is Crucifixion. After that they kinda faded.

NO EASY RUN

Late 2000 early 2001 saw me picking up the pen to channel my thoughts and with it rose the desire to shout those into peoples faces. After a lot of trial and errors No Easy Run finally fell into place sometime during 2006 and I had a blast. Unfortunately in 01/09 it came to an end and ever since it's been trial and error all the way again. But I keep my PMA.

You can still check out what we were about on the old NER myspace site. Or just listen to our demo.

WANNA DO A BAND???
