SANTORO - s/t (People Like You) LP 5,- €
SCARLET LETTER THE „Pure, Unadultered Adultery“ (assault)
7“ 1,- €
Nine passionate tracks from New Jersey's The Scarlet Letter. The music
is po-werful and recalls the fury of '70s hardcore, while having some
definite newer in-fluences as well. Addding emotional and melodic parts
to the mix of fast-paced, powerful and slightly psychotic punk rock,
they've created their own blend of screamo hardcore that is highly original.
What makes the Scarlet Letter stick out is their ability to successfully
mix different styles. Ultra fast parts with melodic breaks, accentuated
by different singers, and back to something else entirely. Somehow,
they make this work again and again in songs that take barely a minute.
Their musical complexity is matched by intelligently political lyrics
that address serious issues. The 10-page booklet does not contain only
the lyrics but explanations for every song, making it abundantly clear
that these guys do not just play music-they have important things to
say and want to be heard.

SEEIN RED / MK ULTRA „network of friends part 3“ (coalition
records) split LP 6,- €
This must be one of our best relaeses so far. Seein Red are back with
15 blasting political tracks. Partly sung in Dutch but always with an
English explanation. This is hardcore like it was played by bands like
Siege, Lärm, Deep Wound and several other eighties hardcore legeneds.
MK Ultra are speeding up on the other side with also 15 tracks of violent
hardcore in the vein of Charles Bronson, Drop Dead or Los Crudos. Lyrics

idea. Destroyer are from germany and provide well played old school
hardcore reminiscent of DYS, FU’s, jerry’s kids and more.
SEVENTY EIGHT DAYS „Revolution through anonymity“(trustkill
recs.) MCD 5,- €
This fucking rules! Just think of a noisy version of Chokehold, but
a lot better. And that's not a complete dis to Chokehold at all, this
is just totally different and a lot more musically talented. Great lyrics,
awesome screaming, and the music is very rockish in some weird way.
Hardcore rock? Let's just leave it at noisy rock. Anyway you call it,
I'm sure you'll be happy when you finish this CD. Too bad there's only
4 songs.
SEVERED HEAD OF STATE „No Love Lost“ 7“ (Ebullition
#53) 3,- €
Three new tracks from Severed Head of State as well as a great cover
of Corrosion of Conformity's "Prayer." These tracks were written
and recorded in July of 2001 right before their last U.S. tour. Brutal,
ugly, and dark. These four tracks are not included on the 1887 to 2001
discography CD
SEVERED HEAD OF STATE 7” (Ebullition) 3,- €
Severed Head of State features an all star cast with Todd Burdette from
His Hero Is Gone on guitar, Jack Conrow of Mind Control Records on vocals,
Kelly from Detestation on bass, and Chris Pfeffer from Meadowlark on
drums. The music is an onslaught of power that can be described as the
inbred bastard of Detestation and His Hero Is Gone with a distorted
beast on vocal duties. These four tracks continue the rage and fury
that Severed Head of State started with their debut one sided LP that
was released on Lengua Armada Records. As a whole this 7“ paints
a depressing and apocalyptic picture of human life on planet Earth;
a planet that is quickly becoming a giant dust ball.
SHAMPOO „radar rot“ LP 5,- €
Remember that awesome old German emo band Kassiopeia? Well, there’s
two of these kids involved in the Shampoo now. And while that alone
should be reason enough for a lot of you to run out and get this vinyl
baby, here’s something for the rest - imagine Kassiopeia being
still together and developing their mellow/loud/mellow-style towards
Yage, Oliver Twist, Tocotronic or the Robocop Kraus. This is the new
noise, not some US or Sweden crap. One of our faves at the moment...
SHATTERED REALM “all will suffer" (warmashine recs) CDEP
4,- €

of the tracks include 'this world is mine' and one of the fan favorites
'all will suffer'
SHE LOST CONTROL „sumatran coffee and traffic“ (sound fiction)
7“ 2,- €
this is something as rare as a dc indie inspired record made by norwegian
old school scenesters. and it is a really beautyful one as well. the
vocalist's voice alone is worth the few coins you would spend on this
one, not to mention the dreamy and smart breaks on both songs. think
about an unoccupied space between late fugazi and early karate

hardcore feel.
SOCIETY OF FRIENDS - Growing Up Moving Away (625) LP 8,- €

key to understanding the beauty of Society of Friends.
SOLEA s/t 7“ / MCD (Defiance) 2,- € / 4,- €
Solea follows the New End Original as the latest Emo/Indie-Allstar-Supergroup
hopping the Atlantic Ocean, with a line up guarenteed to leave fans
of guitar driven indierock with their mouths watering. Solea unites
the distinctive voice/guitar/songwriting of Garrett Klahn (Texas is
the Reason), the powerful drumming of Johnny Cruz (Samiam) and the guitar/songwriting
of Sergie Loobkoff (Samiam,Knapsack). Please listen, the songs speak
for themselves. This isn't Texas is the Reason nor is it Samiam, but
as much as they are trying to forge their own sound, they are not necessarily
engaging in a departure here...more aptly, a progression. What started
in 1886 as a side project on the Samiam/Texas Is The Reason Tour, has
spawned into something far greater. The full album is in the works and
will be released sometime this fall. Solea will be promoting the new
5-song MCD/ 3-song 7“ on their upcoming European tour in June,
so don´t miss the chance to be among the first to rock with this
kick-ass allstar band. You must check them out! If you dig good Emo/Indierock,
you will dig this! For friends of: Samiam, Texas Is The Reason, New
End Original, Promise Ring etc.

SOOPHIE NUN SQUAT „passion slays...“ LP 6,- €
SOUNDS FAMILIAR „s/t“ (weird science) CD 6,- €
Fresh off the heels of their critically acclaimed bands (landscape/joyes
appartment and last year’s diary), SOUNDS FAMILIAR are here with
seven tracks that carefully unite old-school and new-school songwriting
styles. This album combines the bitter emotional release of the band
and the meticulous soundscapes crafted through endless hours of studio
time. Dynamic song structures, hurricane-force rhythms and ultra-vivid
lyrics paint bold portraits of disillusion and heartache, while at other
points this album overflows with swells of symphonics and harmony. Effortlessly
mixing anthemic choruses with comforting melodic hooks and screamed
moments, this album also signalled SOUNDS FAMILIAR's willingness to
push the limits of both dynamic extremes of their sound.

emotions coming from the heart and soul can be found here. Harmonica
driven stoner,blues and punk influenced mayhem.
SPEEDWELL “My life is A Series of Vacations” (Ignition)
CDep 2,- €
This is about as accessible as you can get when it comes to alternative,
melodic pop rock. SPEEDWELL are a 4 piece that are able to create modern,
catchy music with every song they write, their secret being originality
and variation. On the whole, their sound is very much in a pop-edged
vein similar to THE GET UP KIDS or THE PROMISE RING but in addition
to the quirky style of those bands they have a melancholic, serious
side reminiscent of CROSS MY HEART and POP UNKNOWN.
SPINNING HEADS "Nothing Is Gained..." 7“ 1,- €
Heavy & Chaotic noise hardcore from France. Comparisons heard lately
with BOTCH, KNUT or TANTRUM.
SPITFIRES, THE „Three“ (stereodrive recs.) LP 5,- €

records on labels such as Estrus and Junk, The Spitfires return in fine
form and deliver the goods! This is absolutely amazing hi-octane, raw
power rock’n’roll that puts most of the competition to shame.
Add a light touch of Glam to the straight rocking sound and then file
next to D-Generation, Black Halos, Electric Frankenstein, B-Movie Rats
or Gluecifer – yep, it’s that good!

From old school to New School and all the way back... You like fast,
melodic and ass kicking music with a melancholy edge? Well here you
go! Static 74 play hardcore in the original meaning of the word. They
are not some tough guy old school rip-off but they do play hc-punk the
way it used to be before Metal and Indie-Pop took over. If one had to
come up with a comparison the bands of your choice would probably be
Dag Nasty, Good Riddance and By The Grace Of God.

E-150, Seein red, Children or Monochrome just demonstrate that quality.
STARMARKET Do7“ 3,- €
STARMARKET„Song of Songs“ LP 4,- €
Half a minute into the opening track you suddenly realise: "Song
of Songs" is Starmarket's biggest moment ever. And the rest of
the record is nothing but a triumph, until the last notes of the gigantic
"1874". If you haven't discovered Starmarket's talent yet,
listening to "Song of Songs" will make you. Here you'll find
more classic songs than most bands make in a lifetime. While their last
album, "Four Hours Light" was a product created during a long
studio session, "Song of Songs" can be described as a reaction
towards slick and overproduced arrangements. It is almost entirely recorded
live on the first take. Early on, the band decided that the goal of
the recordings was gonna be to have as much fun as possible, and replace
perfectionism with spontaniousness.

the studio at the beginning of this year and is set to release its third
full-length, "Rewind and Record" in the early summer of 2002.
Get your lighters ready for the slow songs because The Stereo will soon
bring you its version of classic, rocking pop - leaving everyone who
listens saying, "Damn, that was one hell of a rock show."

here, both musically and lyrically. The sounds range from powerful harshness
to gentle breaks with lots of unexpected bits and a great overall sense

up and explode. The words are fantastic, creative cries of rebellion
and questioning that show a lot of depth. Oh yeah, and then there's

The band spent bigger part of the last year on road, touring all over
Europe, played a few festivals and toured USA with bands like At The
Drive In, Murder City Devils, Int. Noise Conspiracy, Le Shok, The Locust.
Their song Streamlines got to the Blairwitch II movie soundtrack which
we found really crazy. In Winter 2000/2001 they entered the studio and
recorded the new album, mastered at classic West West West Music studio
in New Jersey. Ten new songs of their typical Sunshine electric sound,
upbeat rock with a keyboard, sexy vocal and provocating crazy parts.

SUNSPRING “POPPY” LP 1,- €
Sunspring was an innovative Louisville band from 1880 to 1883, and released
music on the Slamdek Record Company label. Their short career was marked
by several member changes and television news appearances defending
their music from charges that it may have inspired murder. Poppy was
released in the summer of 1883 as the band's first full-length release.
It was recorded by Mike Baker, known for his subsequent work with Guilt
and Falling Forward.
SUPERCHINCHILLARESCUEMISSION / BOTTLEDIRT (Snuffy Smile) split 7“
2,- €
Both bands bring the rock on this incredible 7“. SCRM: A new band
from D.C. with ex-Panthro UK member Jimmy United and Pat from Crispus
Attucks. Fast, intense, melodic punk that doesn't sound pretty or predictable.
Great guitar work, intelligent lyrics, and a pummeling rhythm section.
This is the shape of things to come.
SUPER HI-5 „8.21.88“ (ACR 004 -`88) 10” 5,- €
Intense HC/PUNK in the vein of hwm.
SUPERSTATIC REVOLUTION / SUBMERGE 7“ 2,- €
ouch, more hardcore brutality from france. Superstatic revolution kick
off the jams with two tracks of their crazed, technical hardcore that
is definitely comparable to the madness created by such bands as backstabbers
inc. and advocate. Submerge applies the pressure with two tracks of
chaotic hardcore that possess’s a more grindcore feel while still
cranking out the melodic parts in the midst of the metal carnage.
SURVIVORS / A NEW ENEMY (warmachine recs.) split 7“/CD 2,-€
/ 4,-€
Groove-drenched boogie sludge. Forget the ten ton megawatt heaviness
for a moment. The magic behind Sofa King Killer has always been the
GROOVE. These guys swing like your mom and dad used to in the 60's.
Elements of ZZ Top and Foghat slip nicely between the Eyehategod and
Beaten Back to Pure frequency pulverizings. Where in most cases, this
kind of blend might be frowned upon as oil and water, SKK make 'em go
together like bacon n' eggs, peanut butter n' jelly, Abbott and Costello...
you get the picture. Nicely done, this one. Only four songs, but a helluva
EP.
SUTEK CONSPIRACY / MURDOCK (ed walters) split 7“ 3,- €
Long after contemporaries from the (under)celebrated Reservoir Records/NY
HC scene of the mid-'90s had called it quits, Staten Island's Murdock
plowed forward with a self-released CD and a limited run 7" EP.
The band's two-song contribution to this split, however, marks its finest
hour. "Tainted" and "Peace Off" represent some of
Murdock's most crushing work with melodic and emotive hardcore dodging
between post-hardcore and screamo's obsolete labeling. Rorschach, Milhouse
and Deadguy might all well have been influences, but Murdock is its
own voice. Sutek Conspiracy offers three songs to this split 7".
Technical, speedy metal riffs are balanced with the economy of hardcore's
tight structure and cathartic, seemingly tortured vocals. Original illustration
and design from the respected hand of Last Chance Illustration makes
for impressive packaging.
SUTEK CONSPIRACY / GROINCHURN (give & take records) split CD 4,-
€
Groinchurn play brutal, raw Grindcore, from one of the most unlikely
places on earth: South Africa. The Sutek conspiracy play fast, intense

both bands, re-mastered for your listening pleasure. This is Give and
take record's tribute to Groinchurn, one of South Africa's hardest working
underground bands, and The Sutek conspiracy, one of the Hardcore genre's
most innovative.

the highway. This CD will leave you standing speechless!!

in the press, the answers are finally here. The debut release from SAN
GERONIMO, featuring ex members of LIFETIME / JETS TO BRAZIL & DROWNINGMAN.

SEROTONIN CD 1,- €
50 minutes CD of SEROTONIN. This four guys are from the USA and they
are doing records since 5 years. This includes their full length LP
+ EP. Goodbear zine: „Damn, these kids can play their instruments
like no one's business. This record is what emo should be all about.
Good personal lyrics about all maner of things. And the music, FUCK
! It's all about really well sung vocals mixed with the screamy stuff
that makes me say Ahhh ! This record would make little fetuses kick
for joy. I want to say it sounds like Sunny Day Real Estate, but it
by no means is a ripp off. It has a lot more scream stuff and is just
fucking good all on its own.“ HaC zine: „These new schools
of hardcore always seem to try and take the best of all worlds. Serotonin
has a heavy grooved rhythm that sounds like Undertow. After that they
go into awkward drawn out pauses punctuated by needly guitar parts and
I discovered a distinct resemblance to Parade's End. The next ingredient
in the Serotonin cocktail is speed up chaos San Dieago style. Follow
this up with a surprising blend of emo indie melody and droning vocals
and you have a pretty dynamic band. I wouldn't miss them live.“

SPEEDWELL “My life is A Series of Vacations” CDep (Ignition)
1,- €
This is about as accessible as you can get when it comes to alternative,
melodic pop rock. SPEEDWELL are a 4 piece that are able to create modern,
catchy music with every song they write, their secret being originality
and variation. On the whole, their sound is very much in a pop-edged
vein similar to THE GET UP KIDS or THE PROMISE RING but in addition
to the quirky style of those bands they have a melancholic, serious
side reminiscent of CROSS MY HEART and POP UNKNOWN.
