section hot news
external menace have been playing againaround the UK – as singer welshy confirmed there will be a new 7” on some US label with old demo tracks recorded after their sadly never released live album – as well as recording new material for a yet to be confirmed label
walter from pisschord announced a limited pressing of the T-34 album “premium hardcore”, limited to just 39 copies in handmade covers, but he did not get it done in time for this newsletter – so we hope to have it featured in the next wholesale update – due to be sent out anytime between end of january and beginning of march of 2012. apparently walter damaged his back when playing a show with his band HIER KREPIERT (featuring former members of SMEAR and DRUG REVIVAL) and that might be the reason for his delay in getting the records over to us
AB from dorfpunkgang records just brought over 2 new records – one being some funny swiss electropunk from a now defunct band called TENDANCE CATALOGUE. the record is called “kein sex mit nazis” by the way. the other record is more crusty – it’s a band from the netherlands called SVARTA LAGOR with their album dark visions – in their ranks they have guy who once was the drummer for the STROHSÄCKE. Rumour has it that Auntie Epistrophy’s favourite local band DRUG REVIVAL will be doing a 7” for dorfpunkgang records later this year. same for SANITÄR, hannover’s answer to the mighty cotzbrocken and zzz hacker.
Speaking of SANITÄR – still available from lehrte’s very own label pisstrophy is the debut 7” by FRANZ WITTICH called Punk ist das geilste and the split 7” with AUDIO KOLLAPS and DESOLATION
Speaking of FRANZ WITTICH – it looks like their guitar player AK is devoting his skills to yet another band called EXILENT

EPI 007 GO! Existence CD
GO! – Existence CD (epi 007) US $ 6,00 to shops
Existence was originally released in 1995, compiling
GO!’s four 7”EPs (1989-1991) with some demo and comp
tracks. This re-release has 48 songs, all but one from
the original and adding a couple of extras.
Drawing their influences from likes of Negative
Approach, Sick Of it All, Youth Of Today or STALAG 13,
GO!'s distinctive lyrics dealt with social issues
like gay and lesbian rights, racism, violence and
equality for women, power and civilization and society
in general - but in a positive (and often fun) way
and without talking down to people. GO! are now being
regarded now as the spearhead of modern day’s
“thinking man’s hardcore” – but still always tongue in
cheek – always to the point with their thrashing
little hardcore ditties.
And now GO! is back! In 2006 they put out the
"Reactive" 7"EP and CD, and new for 2007 is "What We
Build Together"- just being held by customs, so almost
here...
For more info on GO! and what the band and the songs
are all about, visit http://www.designbymike.com/go
for fans of: i object, sick of it all, sfa and limpwrist and if
anybody remembers them - mdc
also out now:
