Rollergirls - Bombs EP

 Facebook | Tumblr

Remember the band Rollergirls from Darmstadt? I uploaded their album "In heaven everything is fine" about two and a half years ago. Now they're back. Started as a screamo band, they decided to play instrumental music, but now...it's different again, now the band regained vocals. Coltish post-whatever-indie-punk music that invites you to sing along. Must be great to see them live.
"Bombs" is their new output, only a digital release. But there are already plans to release a new full-length in spring 2013.

Final Effort - Drowned and resurfaced

Final Effort on Facebook

Formed in the autumn 2008 in Leisnig, the intention was to combine melodic driven riffs and powerful rage riffs. It didn't take long until a number of shows were played and first experiences were collected. Early in 2011 they recorded this 7-track debut "drowned and resurfaced". There will be a new ep at the end of this year!

Folded Flags - Young Minds

Folded Flags on Facebook

Folded Flags is a young melodic hardcore-punk band, founded in Fall 2011 in the quiet area of Bad Kissingen / Bad Neustadt, somewhere in the north-west of Bavaria.

The Folded Flags members have played in local hero-acts such as Frightday, Altarea and Year, What the Captain said.

Captain Planet & Duesenjaeger - Split

 Captain Planet | Duesenjaeger

When these two German bands release a split-record, it has to be great. And yes, it became great. The perfect fusion of melancholy and punk. The only negative thing is: only one song of each band, running alltogether in 5 1/2 minutes.
This split was released without the help of a recordlabel and is limited to 400 handnumbered copies, packed in gatefold covers including a downloadcode.
By the way: watch out for the new Captain Planet LP "Treibeis" on Zeitstrafe Records in October.

Grand Griffon - Demo

Grand Griffon on Facebook

Arround two years ago, I uploaded the Grand Griffon 7" here. Rough screamo-punkrock by members of old Escapado, Kurhaus and Tackleberry. Well, this "demo" wasn't a real release. These are just three demo songs ("Kein Wort", "Nie mehr so alt", "Von gestern") they provided @ their myspace site quite a while ago. They were later released in a better quality on their s-t 7" respectively on their Protektor 12''. My favourite song is "Von gestern". Check it out.

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 :-)

This is the new and 2nd album by Matula, a punk band from the north of Germany. Since Tao uploaded a not so perfect 128 kbps vinyl-rip of this album, people waited for a better quality - so here we go. If you dig these new German emo-ish bands like Captain Planet, you'll love this album. Escpecially the song "Yacht" is so damn great, I recently listened to it the whole evening. Please order this record if you like it at Zeitstrafe Records (very likeable institution), you can have it on CD or LP for 10 € + shipping.

Manku Kapak - Vergissmeinnicht (Demo)

 Homepage | Myspace

Manku Kapak is a young three-piece (Nico - guitar; Hauke - drums + melodica; Malte - Guitar; there is no bassist and they all sing) from Bremen, Germany. And what do you associate with Bremen? Yes, the typical so called "northcore" sound like it was played by legendary German bands like Jet Black, Akephal, Loxiran and so on. Manku Kapak do fit in this tradition and in good old early-90s emocore, but they're not trying to copy other bands. Anyhow, this is a very likeable band who keeps the punk & d.i.y. - flag flying. And furthermore, this demo cd-r is made with nothing but LOVE like we are used to it from Andi / Builtonfriendship Records. There are only 50 (handmade) copies of this demo.

12XU is a (emo)punk band from France, with 2 members from Daitro. Their music is very nice, the only negative point about that is the short playtime of their releases. These are the first 2 parts of their 4-part-singles series, the next 2 parts are planned for the end of this year, I think.

Mouthbreather - Thank you for your patience

"Mouthbreather's first full length record, captured by Chris Owens (LORDS), is a slice of punk played with a chip on its shoulder. Raw and stripped down, the songs are unrelenting attacks similar to members' past groups WOW, OWLS! and THE SETUP but still maintaining a new musical identity, keeping Richmond's punk and hardcore roots in mind. By no means is this album the safe and comforting punk that you would find in a local suburban mall, but it is a loose extension of the angst of bands like Black Flag with songs that give a sarcastic, and at times jaded, look at the scene and life." (No Idea Records)
