Dramamine - S/T



Hitch.mp3

Dramamine is a medicament that was converted into active drug usage by some resourceful junkies decades ago. The effect can be described as some kind of escapism into an imaginary world, or – in a positive sense – as some kind of introverted ecstasy. This young band from Germany could be the soundtrack for these specific moods as of now. Loud, noisy, then with a certain pop-affinity, minimalistic, but in the very next second pretentious, doomy and oozing with pathos. A heavy, deep bass, which you will not only feel through your ears; guitars, which you will find hard to classify; a krauty drumming with an obvious love for details – all this put together with resentful, hectic vocals, which will finally leave you asking for more. You’re going to realise very quickly that these musicians have used the years they’ve spend in other bands to learn how to communicate in their own special language – although the sound that we’re talking about here emanates from a different awareness; this doesn’t sound like an intersection of Press Gang, Idle Hands, etc. Here the instruments don’t get touched, they’re being cleaved to. Experience it live or on record, afterwards everything will be quieter. It’s 2010, and you might think that the creative reservoir of noisy and drugged guitar music has been exhausted for a long time now: Dramamine prove you wrong!

Polite Sleeper - Lake Effect



Three Easy Steps.mp3

Polite Sleeper follow-up last year's Seens LP with Lake Effect -- nine winter moments put to tape and the first proper studio album from the Brooklyn trio. Recorded at Seaside Lounge in New York by Aaron Prellwitz (Death Cab for Cutie, John Vanderslice, Erase Errata), the new LP smooths out the rough edges and delivers on three part harmonies and a rhythm section that still drives each story. Written between US and European tours last year the acoustic trio will be on the road through the fall.

Digger Barnes - Time Has Come



Waiting For The Snakes.mp3

Digger Barnes is a German singer/songwriter, performer and sideman of Chuck Ragan (Hot Water Music) and The Revivaltour, an annual traveling alliance of the North American folkpunk scene, where he shared stages with Tim Barry (Avail), Ben Nichols (Lucero), Tom Gabel (Against Me), Austin Lucas, Frank Turner, Jesse Malin and others.

With his debut Time Has Come he recorded a modern americana-album of great diversity and with strong, dark vibes. Style, taste and musical understatement are the secret ingredients of his very own gumbo out of folk, indie, gospel, rockabilly, pop and country.

Stories about loners, losers and shady characters of all kinds build the center of the Digger Barnes World which has a visual counterpart in the paintings of Pencil Quincy, Digger' s partner-in-crime for many years.

CD comes as digipack, vinyl with badass 350g cover.

Team Robespierre - Everything's Perfect LP

Formed in Brooklyn during the winter of 2005, the members of Team Robespierre were initially connected by their roots - having all grew up in similar punk rock scenes in New York, Denver, Minnesota, Texas, Poland and Jersey, playing in bands like Thulsa Doom, Morning Glory and Hipster Bloodbath. But as Rex, Tom, Ty, Mike and Jim got older their record collections expanded to include noise, indie, electro and new wave among other genres. All and none of these genres can be heard in their recordings or live shows. But what comes across most when seeing these guys is their raw energy and unwillingness to separate themselves from the crowd. With asound that melds the future and the past, the Team brings back memories of 80s new wave and 90s hardcore, with the ability to share stages with bands as diverse as Dan Deacon, Japanther, An Albatross, Leftover Crack, Parts And Labor, Best Fwends, USA Is A Monster, Japanther and Kylesa. Having already embarked on 3 tours in 2007, and recently enlisting a live drummer to add another layer to their complex electro-punk arrangements, the Team felt the timing was right to record an album's worth of material. With the help of Colin Marston (Orthrelm, Ghengis Tron, Stay Fucked), Team Robespierre spent most of their summer recording an album and playing dance parties.

Powered by a dirty punk rock ethos, synth hooks and programmed dance beats, Team Robespierre has helped resurrect a Brooklyn punk scene that has been waiting to embrace the raw energy of our nation's basements and late night warehouse dance parties. With a sound that melds the future and the past, the Team brings back memories of 80s new wave and 90s hardcore, and after IMPOSE owner Derek Evers saw them play a show in the spring of 2007, he ended up so drenched in beer and human sweat that he had to sign these guys--making "Everything's Perfect" the first official full-length for both the band and the label. Sabotage is proud to release the vinyl version of "Everything's Perfect" just in time for the upcoming European Tour in October/November 2008.

Austin Lucas - At War with Freak Folk 10”



Go west.mp3

"At war with freak folk" is AUSTIN's newest release. On it, you'll find 6 songs harkening the rich heritage and tradition of great American country and folk music past, rounded out by the strong D.I.Y. ethic and punk progressiveness that played a large part in shaping both artist and label over the years. In the end, you're left with an album that reaches across generational and genre lines in a way that few artists could ever dream of or hope for.

Japanther - Skuffed Up My Huffe LP

'Skuffed up My Huffy', the band's fifth full-length (twelve tracks at a total of about 27 minutes), there are actual songs. Japanther´s trademark hooks, sing-along choruses and misfity/ramonesy/ronettesy infectiousness has finally crystallized on an album. with the current vogue for shoegaze-inspired noise walls thrust out by No Age and Deerhunter, perhaps this duo can gatecrash theparty.

Polite Sleeper - Seens



Gin & Duct Tape.mp3

Polite Sleeper is a folk punk mess and a story about starting over. Jason and Tim met in San Francisco in 2002 and formed The Yellow Press, a Ye! Ye! hardcore/punk quartet that also included Steven Chamberlain on bass. With releases on X-Mist and Day After worldwide, they toured for over two years, opening for the likes of Against Me!, Xiu Xiu, The Thermals and The Hold Steady before amicably disbanding in 2005 following one final European tour. The downtime coupled with one messy break-up saw Jason leaving California for New York, with Tim following soon thereafter. Together that winter they recorded a handful of sparse, acoustic songs in Jason’s Clinton Hill loft space, dealing with friends, lovers, substance abuse, and most notably not having a band anymore. During that period the duo met Michael Curtes, who added piano to a few unfinished ideas and the resulting session was quietly released as a five-song EP and 12” in June 2007. The trio immediately pickedup where The Yellow Press left off, touring Europe and both US coasts in support, and despite few expectations found a surprising balance (and noted buzz) between their punk pasts and the hushed, introspection of the new material. Musically, however, Polite Sleeper is about doing more with less. From three-piece trap kits to playing without a bass, the songs are as divergent as they are raw. Each a story sounding as if John Darnielle was fronting the Microphones or a working man’s Xiu Xiu. Keyboards, banjo and pedal steel might round out a few programmed beats or a piano stomp, otherwise, very little is kept that can’t be performed live. And what started as a bedroom project between friends finally coalesced with a proper full length written and recorded throughout Brooklyn in 2007. More self-assured and playful than previous efforts, the debut balances the whispered lullabies with the screaming sing-a-longs – from country to folk to punk, it’s an authentic, earnest document of where three friends ended up after landing on the East Coast with a new plan. But most important Polite Sleeper is still a punk band. They’re 100% DIY, choosing to record in living rooms and kitchens exclusively. They keep traffic noise and dead notes as reminders of that. They stay true by playing to anyone who asks, and while the songs may be short, the sentiments heavy, their riotous live reputation is a spectacle no one expects from an acoustic trio.

Mönster - out of luck 7"



control vs. control.mp3

5 new tracks from berlin's most stupid punks. songs about love, straight edge, rebellion and friendship. too smart to be meaningless and too funny to take themselves too seriously. musically between rocking d-beat hardcore and lo-fi blues. some ac/dc riff is thrown into there as well.

Austin lucas - putting the hammer down cd



man alive.mp3

As many will infinitely attest, it is truly Austin's skillful and soulful homage to his country and bluegrass roots that leave all listening audiences haunted with a stirring sense of amazement. "Putting The Hammer Down" is Austin's second Album. On it, you'll find 8 songs harkening the rich heritage and tradition of great American country and folk music past, rounded out by the strong DIY ethic and punk progressiveness that played a large part in shaping both artist and label over the years. In the end, you're left with an album that reaches across generational and genre lines in a way that few artists could ever dream of or hope for.

Coldbringer - Lust and Ambition 12"

"Eight song 12" EP. For those of you not familiar with Coldbringer, they feature members of From Ashes Rise, Hellshock, Call The Police, the Del Toros, and Talk Is Poison. They play a style of melodic hardcore that draws from influences like Naked Raygun, Leatherface, Husker Du and the Wipers, but is all their own at the same time." I’ve been getting a fair number of records these days with hand-screened covers and the Coldbringer LP has some striking artwork. A stingingly melodic punk sound that sounds like a cross between Born Dead Icons’ doomy sound with Leatherface’s tuneful properties. Vocalist John Wilkerson (formerly with From Ashes Rise) has Frankie Stubbs’ timbre, albeit in a lower register. I know comparisons suck but that’s the best way I can describe it. The people in this band have played in more “crusty” or thrashy bands and this marks a departure away from D-beat and epic qualities. A warmth along with the power and vigor.

The Now-Denial - Mundane Lullaby LP/CD


osmosis.mp3

Finally, 3 long years after „viva viva threatening“ came out, the now-denial deliver their 3rd album „mundane lullaby“. And it´s no surprise, it is a big step forward. They come closer and closer to capture their live-energy on a piece of plastic. The sound is very good, still dirty, but powerful and huge like a bulldozer, with love for the detail, which makes it fun to listen to the record over and over again to smell the diesel and find something new with every listening. Yeah, it´s still a hardcore/ punk record, it´s still pissed off, but the limitations are gone. There is rock every now and then and it suits them well. And it´s good to hear a real 2nd guitar again. On top of 12 great songs, varied in speed and mood,you get a well thought out lsd-influenced cover artwork with rabbits and flowers and lyrics that are far away from your average punk-cliché, but still angry and to the point. A record like a journey on the road to nowhere, armed with a smile and a middlefinger up in the air, always pretending to have an insane masterplan up the sleeve.

Digger Barnes - My Name is Digger


my name is digger.mp3

The Ultimate Drifter`s Manifesto out now on Sabotage records. Digger Barnes' "My name is Digger" is a great melancholic song that displays the singers writing ability and his knack for melody.  The song is cold and dusty like a lonely desert night; letting the listener in on this very specific thought and memory.  The song's chorus is catchy and memorable and the beautiful stripped down instrumentation of just vocals, acoustic, slide guitar, and a harp bares the soul of the song and its lonely, lonely lyrics.  B-Side contains Digger`s Version of Social D´s Reach for the Sky, played with some help from allie total blam blam. The record comes again with a super nice packaging.

Polite Sleeper - "S/T"


scenes.mp3

Polite Sleeper is the new folk punk, experimental side-project from Jason (guitar) and Tim (drums) of The Yellow Press (Day After). Pretty crazy stuff at times, but the songs are simple and sweet – all about missing one thing or another, about the new challenges and new relationships since moving from San Francisco to Brooklyn, NY nearly two years ago. More important, PS is a punk band. They’re 100% DIY, choosing to record in living rooms and kitchens, exclusively. They keep traffic noise and dead notes as reminders of that, and stay true by playing basements and warehouses, even proper clubs where they don’t quite belong, but take the chance at meeting like minds anyway. They believe it and you should too. The forthcoming CD/EP from Sabotage retains the spastic live energy one expects from The Yellow Press, but unplugs the action, turns down the volume and shakes things to a more folk country tune. Jason and Tim tell stories now. They scream and sing about drinking and missing one thing or another, and with the addition of a full time keyboard player, the whole mess sounds like Xiu Xiu challenging the Mountain Goats or Bright Eyes to a proper pub fight.

Finland's hardest working and touring thrash unit, Hero Dishonest, has released its 4th and by far the strongest album of its 7 years long career. After around 300 shows in Scandinavia, middle Europe, UK, Russia and USA the band is tighter than ever and what also sets it apart from the grey mass of today's hardcore thrash, smart in its song writing.
Finland's hardest working and touring thrash unit, Hero Dishonest, has released its 4th and by far the strongest album of its 7 years long career. After around 300 shows in Scandinavia, middle Europe, UK, Russia and USA the band is tighter than ever and what also sets it apart from the grey mass of today's hardcore thrash, smart in its song writing. "When The Shit Hits The Man" consists of 26 minutes and 21 tracks of raging hardcore punk thrash that doesn't limit itself to just being fast at all times but also knows when to slow down and to bring in the widest influences from the 30 years of punk history. The band doesn't just speed up the old school Black Flag riffs but also nods its head towards both old and new innovators like Big Boys and Wrangler Brutes.

After 300 shows, 4 albums and 3 eps (If Society, Combat Rock Industry, 625 Thrash, Läjä Records, Sabotage Records) the band marches on and is just finishing its second US tour and is getting ready for European tour in spring 2007.

The Now Denial - " Obey, adapt, shut up and Die "

Infos like this bore me to death, like all this crap bores me to death. Fuck that. The thing you need to know is: it’s a good, fair and healthy thing to like the now-denial. I am sure i don’t have to tell you about the endless glorious, fabulous, not to say heroic stories of this dirty bunch- only for the protocol: they are a five-piece with members of blablabla...BORING. there is no need to tell you about this tracktorpullingdeathmachine from BREMEN/ MUENSTER and BIELEFELD. No need to tell you that this CD is full with 19 songs and videos... that this is their compilation-cd which combines the the vinyl-only releases of the split 7“es with SEEIN RED and HIGHSCORE, unreleased old material, compilation tracks and evergreens of the last five years. Besides the well known “a.c.a.b.”, “the exploration”, “viva viva” and “slaves” there is the hard to find vinyl only compilation track “dusty gunslinger” and the unreleased “outward tolerance”, “shit goes on” and “eraser demo”. All songs have japanese translations printed inside the digipack, due to the split release between too circle rec. in japan and sabotage rec. in germany. As a special bonus there are a couple of live feeds enhanched. We put some footage of the dräschfest 2004, the turn it down show 2004 (Berlin) and from the vienna “tüwi”show 2003.

MÖNSTER - " Arms " LP/CD

Mönster was formed two years ago people formerly active in Highscore, Born Dead Icons, Insuciety and "Costa's Cake House" who all stayed in Berlin at that time. What was originaly meant as some sort of project became a regular band which was quicky noticed by punks worldwide through their debut 12" "Death Before Disorder", out in 2005 on Sabotage Records. Fast hardcore with notable Scandinavian/Portland sound, good measure of rocking riffs and a classic straight forward hardcore feel which probably comes from the fact that most of the boys have been in hardcore/punk bands the last 10-15 years. The new Moenster record called "Arms"  captures the equal urgency of debut record, but also absorbed more melodies and slower songs, which provides them this certain passionate, European flavor. Album comes in a special diecut LP cover and inner sleeve, CD comes with diecut slipcase over the jewelbox and features the mighty iffland on the drums… the record is also out on Dayafter records..

Echo Is Your Love - " Humansize "

After 8 years, 3 albums and several tours around Europe, Finland's Echo Is Your Love are back with their finest album. Echo Is Your Love was started in early 1998 in Helsinki by four guys who met and were introduced to each others at the first rehearsals. The guitarist´s girlfriend became the singer. The intention was to practice as little as possible and to record almost everything that comes out. After some 7"s and the debut album ("Sheets of Blank Fucking Paper" 2000) the band got bored of droning the same two chords and being compared with Pardo Bond, Dead C and the likes. The band decided to start rocking. With the 2nd album ("8 Hours" 2002) and tours around Europe Echo Is Your Love ended up playing at punk/hardcore shows to almost 100% punk crowds which made the band´s music tighter and more aggressive. On the 3rd album ("Paper Cut Eye" 2004) Echo Is Your Love found its own unique style of mixing hardcore aggressiveness with no-wave guitar madness, post-punk danceability with indie cuteness and pop melodies. “Humansize” is a tight and unique mix of no-wave guitar madness, dreamy indiepop melodies, hardcore aggression and danceable post-punk rhythms. Haunting female vocals, sometimes angry, sometimes heavenly, wash over shards of guitar noise and shuddering drums, like if the girls from the B-52s were invited to sing with the one band that wants to save the world with its noise. The album will be followed by a US tour. This is not the same old same old. For more information e-mail info@sabotagerecords.net The album is a split release between If Society (Finland), Stickfigure (US), Run Out Records (UK), Unstable Ape Records (Australia) and Sabotage Records (Germany)

Mönster - " Death before Disorder " lp/cd



firstrock.mp3

First of all, there is a new release on the way from a band based in Berlin called Mönster. MÖNSTER was formed in May 2004 by Alexandre Légaré (BORN DEAD ICONS, ex-THE BLACK HAND), Jobst Eggert (PEACE OF MIND, ex-HIGHSCORE), Marek Sarba (INSUICIETY, ex-DYSMORFOFOBIA) and Matthias Dabrowski (A THIN RED LINE, ex-COSTA´S CAKE HOUSE). The band started as a project, but after realizing that such a good chemistry shouldn’t be blown off in the air, decision was made to take it out of the practice space. The first two concerts confirmed that the audience could also relate to this energy. In terms of sound, comparisons have been made to the modern Swedish-Crust-Portland blabla sound with a good measure of rocking riffs and a classic straight forward hardcore feel. During the time when Alex was, and after when he moved back to Canada we get help from Frytek on drums (LOST, DISABLE). Since April 2005 our new drummer is Iffland (ex-MVD, ex-UGLY AESTHETICS,...) and we are ready to write new songs.

The now denial - viva,viva Threatening CD



Viva.mp3

We are very happy to release the second Lp from these lovely rockers. The record brings 12 brand new harsh,pissed off hardcore songs. Soundwise the production of this record is much better and more `` in your face`` than on the first record, combined with a really nice 12 pages layout, this r ecord is a killer and a must. the now-denial started rehearsing in early 2001 and played first shows in the summer. first planned as a project of longtime friends christian, philipp, jens, soeren and hans to share the love for harsh, pissed off hardcore/ punk, it soon became clear that it had to be more. so they recorded for a benefit split 7" for the criminalized people of the genova protests against the g8 with their friends seein red. it came out early 2002 on tomte tumme tott. the many many shows they played had the result that hans quit due to time problems and his popstarcarreer. but the whole 5 piece recorded the first full-length "truth is on fire" in may 2002 on scorched earthpolicy/ flowerviolence/ damaged records that came out in fall. the now-denial continued as a 4 piece spreading their mixture of live-entertainment, political agenda and a big fuck you all around germany, holland, belgium and austria. the first bigger tour was in march/ april 2003 to france and spain with artimus pyle from okland/ california/ usa. right before the tour another benefit split 7" came out on tomte tumme tott records/ repulsive force (japan). this time with highscore and for the trial costs of people of the gothenburg protests against the european union. the year 2003 has been the busiest for the band so far, because they went on tour in fall again. durango 95 was the partner in crime and they headed to greece, macedonia, bosnia, croatia and austria. after that the preparations for a second album started. tons of shows and a small tour with strike anywhere slowed down the process, but now, finally, the new album "viva viva threatening" is out on scorched earth policy and sabotage records. the now-denial is now working with a new second guitarist robin, who is hopefully ready to join the tractor-pulling deathmachine in november as a real 5. member.

HALLO KWITTEN - jem schöt mal leber trecker foorn CD



Mannifisto.mp3

(the record title is in flat-German, only spoken in parts of the nothern area of Germany; it means "these guys should better ride tractors")

HALLO KWITTEN started as a party-project at first, a little time later Piet (also drummer of TURBOSTAAT) and both of his workmates thought there could be something ore than entertaining friends with that band. Consequently it followed the debut cd of this trio. You´ll find rocking 80s HC stuff with old BLACK FLAG sound as reference for the rude songs (including a smashing version of "nervous breakdown".....another cover track is WIRE´s "1 2 X U") and some kicking midtempo stuff, like the song "letter" which is guitarwise very close to the BRIEFS and sung like FUGAZI stuff. It´s a run through punk rock history but always self-authentic - these guys have an own style. A compact power trio with the drummer Piet going with super-gasoline, Kwixi´s straight basslines and Gerri´s stakkato power-riffs and singing which has melody styles oing up to enormous shouting. 11 songs done in 21.40 minutes. The gatefold the booklet shows the guys riding on an eel in the harbour of their hometown Flensburg .......the front cover shows them on incredible motorbikes (that gives sense to the record title)........having special sense of humour for sure.........watch out for their homepage Faul Collective / Sabotage

Paranoia keeps crawling - made to be broken LP



Please Tell Us.mp3

PARANOIA KEEPS CRAWLING play dark mid-tempo HC somewhere between His Hero Is Gone, Zeroid and 80s US-hardcore. There is a good touch of that mid 90s Bremen and beyond sound in some of their musical elements. You'll find a good variety of songs from slow and grinding atmospheric sounds to uptempo parts that crash everything in their way. Three people, a fat distorted bass, layers over layers of guitars, two fucked-up voices and a drummer gone mad - a powerhouse among the crusty-noisy-HC genre. The lyrics are dealing with social issues, criticizing society and injustice among our liveless world. Other topics are personal issues, loosing your mind, slipping away from the safety of your everyday life, feeling helpless. The band is from the area of Ulm, Southern Germany and exists for more than 4 years now. Before forming PKC two of their members played in "Stagnation's End" and their bass player used to grind in "Seuchenherd". The songs were recorded at Dirk Kusche's famous Kuschelrock Studio in Meyenburg / Bremen - if you know "Bremen Panzer Sound" you know how this piece of vinyl makes your ears bleed! The studio is well-known for it's productions for Mörser, Systral, Carol, Acme, Shikari, Zeroid, Allee Der Kosmonauten, Crude B.E., Cyness and the likes. The LP comes in a heavy, full-coloured cardboard packaging with a special shiny finish which makes the great layout look even more exclusive. The record has an extra 16-page full-coloured booklet with all the lyrics and great photography. The vinyl comes in 150 grams. An Unsociable quality product as usual. This LP is Paranoia Keeps Crawling's second release after the split-LP with Stagnation's End that was published on Sabotage and Civilisation Records in 2001. The record is ready for distribution now (the CD version is published by Civilisation Records and Per Koro Records and is available through us as well). This is a split release with unsociable records..

So do yourself a favour and swallow this pill of raging HC/PUNK & don't take yourself too serious ... we do for you :o)!

Doctor Bison - Bring it on MCD Sold out



mp3

After years of siclence this rocking four piece from wales is back. DOCTOR BISON. were formed in the summer of 94. by songwriter Baz Oldfield and Drummer 'the Rev' John Oldfield. The brothers first appeared in Newport punk rockoriginals 'the Abs' The Abs made two blistering albums "Mentalenema" and "Nail it Down" . The Abs debut John Peel session ended up in his pick of the year along side the Pixies and New order. With the addition of the unmistakable guitar sound of ex Leatherface guitarist Dickie Hammond and bass lunatic Chepstow Reg, the Doctor Bison line up was complete and the band set about doing what they do best, playing live building up a reputation as an awesome live band both here and abroad. They released some awesome releases and played a lot of shows. Some years ago they split up, but now they are back again with this brandnew release. let's face it, this is fucking rock! And it is rock, a big load of rock music, but smothered in excellent pop tunes and punk rock attitude. The guitars are bigger than Everest and the vocals just personify gravel-rock. Brilliant. This is a split release with the new label heads will roll from germany. Thanks to stady for asking me to take part, cause this band was always one of my favourites and I spent some incredible evenings with them. Reallz nice. People who are interested in distributing them, please get in touch.
