Adorno & The Black Heart Rebellion - Split

 Adorno | The Black Heart Rebellion

I think Adorno will never get tired of releasing new records again and again. This time it's a split 7'' with the Belgian sreamo-postrockers The Black Heart Rebellion. This record is definitely better than the splits with Eric Ayotte and Sugartown Carbaret. Try it and buy it!

Adorno & Sugartown Cabaret - Spilt

Adorno | Sugartown Cabaret on Facebook

Adorno is a band you should already know - beautiful post-hc/emo/punk straight outta Portugal. Sugartown Cabaret from France go a similar way, but more diversified and with some post-rock influences. Unfortunatley, the playtime of this 12'' is quiet short and the songs are not the bands best ones.

Asslranzn - Greatest Hits Re-Mastert / Hinterm Schlebberbusch Platinum MC

 Asslranzn @ Myspace

Well, this is a strange release. Asslranzn is actually a band without a name or with many names or whatever. According to their label they are just "a very kewl band". And according to their Myspace site they are currently called "Bulldozers of Blood!!!". Whatever. You see, these guys don't take themselves too serious. And so does this music sound like. Probably recorded in a rehearsal room, they play a kind of experimental punk music that really kicks your ass. By the way, members of the band Lara Korona and Life's not like Dawson's Creek record label are here at work.
You can buy this tape for 3 €, but it's sold out at the moment. Will be restocked in November, just check out the label's Myspace site.

Artist: They don't have a steady name :-)

Radare was formed in winter 2008 by members of the chaotic hc bands Actress and Paris.

Or in other words: Radare is one of the most interesting post-rock/sludge/doom bands at the time. The song from this demo was later again released in another version on their full-length lp.

Just a breath of air

Hey,
just wanted to tell you that i'm not dead. Neither is my blog - maybe. I'm not interested in screamo that much anymore. It actually becomes boring for me that you never understand a word of the singer (well there are definitely some bands I still love, especially some German ones). But, besides a lot of other styles of music (good hiphop, electro, post-rock, experimental stuff etc), I still love listening to punk and stuff like that. Therefore I think it would be a good thing, according to my blog, to not only concentrate on screamo-ish music but also on other styles, e.g, I guess a lot of you enjoy post-rock and ambient music like I do it.
But I only want to upload music that I really like, so sorry for some stuff sent to me which I didn't upload. By the way, for some time past I got a new email-adress, I forgot to change it here...So if you wanna insult me, show me stuff or just want to tell me something, write to:
-> welchesleben@yahoo.de

Try to feel, try to enjoy your lifes.
Phil
