Legal Daughters - mirror of innocence

I'm having some time off. Finally after a very busy month I was able to spend some quality time with my wife again. Today she's back at work but I don't have to work until the day after tomorrow so I rode my bike downtown for some vinyl business. Actually I wanted to save some money for our trip to NYC so I could go record hunting on some new turf (so btw if you know of any place to score some nice vinyl - preferably on the cheap - It would be very welcomed if you'd let me know about it) But somehow today I couldn't hold back. Maybe it was the sun. Well, who knows? And who cares? So here's what I got:


Sons & Daughters - mirrorrorrim LP


This is the new output by this 4-piece from Scotland. I discovered this Band while working at an "Eins Live" open air festival. "Eins Live" is a local Radio Station that plays annoying charts music all the time so of all places in the world this festival was the last one I'd expect to be getting to know a good Band at. I was going about my business backstage when they went on and while not paying attention at all they somehow managed to make me listen and check them out. Well, not much later I bought their 1st full length "The repulsion box" and loved it. Great mix of male / female vocals over driving indie music with a punch and rough edges. Usually the word indie makes me cringe but this is so good I also bought their 2nd longplayer "The Gift" and again it was no mistake to do so although I was a little afraid at first. A lot of Bands become boring quite fast trying to stick to the same old formula that did already work. Not the S&D. It's so different from the 1st while still being S&D without a doubt. And the one I bought today is no exception from the rule. It sounds so damn fresh it's really amazing. I urge all of you with the least bit of interest in good music to go check this Band out. 

Legal Weapon - death of innocence LP

This is the official 1991 reissue on Triple X Records of a totally underrated Gem that was originally released in 1982 on Arsenal Records with a different cover and a lyricsheet. If anyone of you knows wether the reissue came with a lyricsheet or not please let me know. I couldn't find any info concerning that matter online. Mine doesn't have one as you might have guessed.

I really don't know why this Band has never gotten big. It certainly has all the right ingredients. Throughout the record I do hear parts that could very well be on an Avengers or X release. At times I even find myself thinking Blondie. And as if those aren't enough reasons to check them out they do have Steve Soto & Frank Agnew of The Adolescents on Bass & Guitar. So if you're into early West-Coast Punk/ Hardcore do yourself a favor and check them out 

New release coming up on Sandblaster Records!!!

TELEGRAPH ROAD.

5 guys make up this promising new Band from Mönchengladbach, Germany. These days every new release is the best you've ever heard and you definitely can't live without it. Well. At least I am sick of one superlative surpassing the other. All I have to say is that this is a solid Band that we at SBR dig so go check them out for yourself and if you like what you hear you might wanna save up a few euros to buy their Demo-Tape from us. Or maybe the cdr from the Band. They have a release show coming up in August and we're trying to have the Tape ready for that Date too. So cross your fingers  and as I already mentioned go check them out.

My friend J. convinced me to join him in booking shows at good old AK 47 in Düsseldorf, Germany. And now we do have a great and diverse line-up for our first team-effort. Check it out. Mark it down.

Cobretti record release show.

Cobretti record release show. Tonight. AZ Kalk. Köln. Be there.

PUNCH!!!

Punch. Tonight. AZ Kalk. Köln. Be there. I'll try to swing by after work.

The Distro is up and running!!!

Finally! After "only" 6 weeks the Distro section is up. These past weeks have been very busy over here. A lot of work is behind me. Blah blah  whatevers.
Hit the Link and check out the goods.
We also have some Get It Done! Tapes left. Pick 'em up.

On top of that there will be some more news coming up in the next days.
Keep your eyes peeled.

I'm in the process of...

Updating the distro section of this blog which takes quite some time. A lot of records for sale have piled up here and making a list with the most important info on each of those is pretty grueling so this will take a while.
Being very busy with making a living does not help it either.
So you'll have to hang in there a little longer until the distro section is completed and I can finally give you all the info you are actually waiting for concerning the Get It Done! Demo Tape. Yes there are a few left but it will probably take another 2 weeks before I get 'round to finish the distro list and let you order away. Meanwhile you can check out the updated Sandblaster Records Pressing Info.

Get It Done! xxx Got it done!

The Tapes are done!!!

On May 3rd Get It Done! will be playing "Stone im Rathingerhof" in Düsseldorf, Germany w/ H2O and Look My Way which will be the release show for this Demo-Tape.
No more fancy shit though.
No special release show edition.
Only a regular and a friends edition of this tape was made.
That's it!
Don't worry if you can't make it to the show.
We will definitely have some copies for you to order online. More info on that in the days after the show. Whenever I get to it.
Although I strongly suggest you get there and support each of the bands. They are all well worth it.
See you on Tuesday and enjoy the pictures for now

50 copies # in silver on the back

 

13 friends edition copies # in gold on the back.

Oh and then there is this beauty!

So there are a total of 64 Tapes!
And here's some info for the über-nerdy collectors like me:
Two Tapes of the "friends edition" do have the same case as the regular-edition.
13/13 which stayed with me
9/13 which went to my SBR partner in crime.

Big time thanks go out to Get It Done! for letting us do this
and Joe Nice of KTH fame for the blank tapes.

i like MORRISSEY

Well. Who would've thought...
Anyways...
Here's a nice little competition so they can gather some more customer profiles.
Yes! They got mine too. I'm a collector i.e. nerd
