Something to do for you on the 30th of April.

Hey folks. My friend Nico (Manku Kapak; Julius*shows) from Bremen is co-organizing a show in his hometown on April 30th.

Click to enlarge the flyer :

"Hallo! Am Freitag, den 30.April starten Mio aus Leipzig & Captain, your ship is sinking aus der Niederlande hier in Bremen ihre Tour. Beide spielen auf wunderbarer Weise ihre eigene Interpretation von Screamo, zusammen mit der Hardcore/Metal Dampfwalze aus Bremen, an der Front mit dem ehemaligen Sänger Hauke der Northcore Legenden Age & Assay. Zum Abschluss spielen Koala noch ein paar ihrer Akustikstücke, dieses Mal nicht auf der Straße, sondern im warmen beheizten Freizi.

Die Label-leute von Moment Of Collapse Rec. werden auch da sein, ihr werdet also viele Kisten zum Stöbern von Platten, Tapes & sonstigen Merchkram haben!
Außerdem werden wir gemeinsam für die Bands & euch vegan kochen, wer will kann gerne mitmachen.
Da wir Spritkosten von 150 Euro haben, würden wir uns über Spenden am Eingang sehr freuen!

Damit unsere Konzerte in naher Zukunft auch noch bestehen können, wäre es echt riesig, wenn ihr zahlreich erscheinen würdet. Schließlich touren so zwei klasse Bands von so weit weg nicht jedes mal durch ganz Deutschland & machen halt in unserem kleinen Städchen namens Bremen; es lohnt sich also.
Wenn ihr mögt, schick doch den Flyer, den ich euch angefügt habe, rum - Über jegliche Unterstützung sind wird dankbar.
Also bewegt euren Arsch am 30.April nach Bremen Farge & support your local scene!! Das Konzert findet im Jfh Bremen Farge statt, das in der Rekumerstraße 2 in 28777 Bremen zu finden ist. Eine genaue Wegbeschreibung & Infos findet ihr hier:
http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=509858162&blogId=524881253

Das Konzert geht rechtzeitig gegen 19:30/20 Uhr los, damit ihr gegen 23/24 Uhr noch Züge zurück nach Bremen HBF bekommt.

Ihr seid herzlichst eingeladen!
Lass uns Kultur machen."




By the way, will anyone of you join the Fluff Fest? I guess I'll be there!

Todo Para Todos - Demo 2009

 Todo Para Todos @ Myspace

Todo Para Todos is a screamo band from Dresden, founded as a six-piece incl. 2 vocalists, but one of them left the band in 2009. They are not a typical screamo band, because their lyrics, which are all written in German language, are not always about personal sorrow but generally about politics and resistance. So you can clearly hear the punk/hardcore influences. A great thing!

Rollergirls - In heaven everything is fine

Rollergirls @ Myspace

Rollergirls is a band from Darmstadt, Germany. Formed in early 2006 as a screamo band, they decided to play instrumental music after their shouter left and a second guitarist joined the band. But don't expect this instrumental post-rock stuff like Explosions in the sky or whatever, the Roller Girls stuff is much more punk or rather faster and danceable but just as atmospheric.
"In heaven everything is fine" is their third output, you can order it via e-mail or Myspace message for 4 € + shipping. Previously they've released a demo 3"cd-r and a tour-split 3"cd-r with Actress.

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.

News

Hey guys.
I'm thinking about working on at this blog, but since most of the emo/screamo thing is really boring me at the time (not every band!), I'll probably change the focus on Ambient (including IDM, Neo-Classic etc.) music cause this is just wonderful and I think there is no way to dislike this kind of music. But I'm not sure whether to open a new blog or just to go on with this one, I think I chose the 2nd option.We'll see.

Cut That City! @ Myspace

Cut That City! is a band from Germany / Lohr am Main and this is their debut ep. Their style is located somewhere between post-hc, post-punk and indie with powerful vocals and German lyrics. Don't expect any kind of trash, for the first release this has an excellent sound quality. The band gave it to me to put it on the blog and share it with as much people as possible, so go spread it if you like it :).

Jim (who seems to like my blog, hihi) from Cadre (hailing from Pittsburgh/Pennsylvania) asked me to put their new demo up on my blog.

Failed Suicide Plan - Selftitled

 Homepage | Myspace

Failed Suicide Plan, a screamo/hardcore band from Germany, gave me their newest release to put it on my blog. Quite brutal, passionate stuff...I like it! You can buy it for 4 € + shipping. Here their band-bio:
Failed Suicide Plan started in Erfurt, Germany, in summer 2005 as a side project by Stefan, Bjarne and Erbse, but it soon became our main musical project. Some moths later we found Peter, former member of PlanK (r.i.p), as singer. In 2006 after only two gigs we had to search for a new man tacking the drumming duties and we finally found Steppl (Kellerasseln, Fazed (r.i.p)). With this lineup we recorded in summer 2007 our first record, a split with the italian screamo band Al Freddo(r.i.p.), that came out in deecmber 2007 on Frohike and tumorati Di Dio records, both from Italy.
In 2009 we recorded new songs that since are available now on a completely DIY CD-R release since november 2009.
FSP is since 2007 playing around, mostly in "east" germay, but we played also in Italy, Slovenia, Romania, Swizerland an Slovakia.

Adorno - Said and unsaid

 Adorno @ Myspace

Yay, the new Adorno release is out! For those who don't know the band - Adorno is a fourpiece from Portugal that plays very nice melodic emocore stuff. I already had the pleasure to see them live and I can tell you their drummer is amazing, hehe. Very likeable band anyway. Some reviews say that the sound on this 7'' is more post-rock than emo, but I don't think so...

Reka - Live @ Shchyokino + more

Reka is a post-metal band from Moscow that was formed in 2007 by the members of the screamo bands Optimus Prime and Fortunae Verbera. In May 2010, they gonna play a tour through Eastern Europe with Celeste and will also release their first album then. For me they sound very powerful, I think I can hear influences of black-metal, screamo and sludge.

The CD is available for 7 € and the LP (+ download-code) for 9 €.
