Pressure Fest 2009 - first info

Here is the press release:

"You had to wait for a long time for the first actual Pressure Fest news, but here we are. Admittedly we had some trouble while booking the Festival this year which forced us to change some things. But we are confident that at the end we came up with something even better for everyone then what we had before.
As some of you will already have heard we had some trouble with the location in Herne, as they are restoring it this summer making it impossible to have Pressure Fest there. An alternate location that would provide the same cool surroundings as in Herne was pretty much impossible to find in our area, the couple of alternatives that came up didn't work out for the June date for various reasons. So we decided to move the fest to August.

We know this will upset people who have already counted on the June date and will probably already have planned and booked (parts of) their trip, so this is why we came up with the following:

This year there will be TWO Pressure Fests!!!

June 27. and 28. will see Pressure Fest move into a smaller location in JZE Paperstrasse in Essen for the first club show since the Winter Pressure Fest in 2003. No barriers or anything holding you back, just stagedives and high fives! The line up for this is almost completely booked, with a couple more bands following.

August 8. to 9. we will have a "normal" Pressure Fest edition in a bigger location with a surrounding just as it's suited for a big Festival, which unfortunately is still not confirmed at this point, but will hopefully be next week.

The Oppressed / The Prowlers - Live in Toronto DVD

BROTHERHOOD is the official video of the legendary one-off North American performance of THE OPPRESSED, supported by Montreal's top ranking skinhead band, THE PROWLERS. These two powerhouse acts give it their all at a party weekend in Toronto to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of Insurgence Records.
The performance was shot with three cameras and recorded live off the deck. Both sets are presented here intact, including never-before released tracks from both bands.
If you weren't one of the many die-hards that trekked across the continent to attend this show, you won't have to live out the rest of your life in total regret.
This DVD will make it seem like you were there, minus the booze and aggression!
Head over to the INSURGENCE RECORDS website to order.

Here's the trailer:

Down To Concrete


Name: Down To Concrete

Location: Bydgoszcz, Poland

Active since: November 2007, our first show was at 15th August 2008 in Zlotów in Poland with Lionheart and 1125

Special Move: Our music is our style and look at beatdown hardcore, you know, breakdowns, 2-steps and typical fast hardcore parts. Also we put much metal things in our music.

Stuff recorded so far?
We recorded 6songs DEMO EP in Dream Factory studio in Bydgoszcz, but now we’re working and writting new shit for our first album which will be released by Spook Records in about January 2010!

What was the response for the demo so far?
Quite good! People says “fucking awesome sound”, “I can't recall when I heard such good shit”.

For you, are the lyrics as important as the music?
Yes of course! The lyrics are one of the most important things! As you know, hardcore is more than music!

Describe a typical Down To Concrete show.
Pissed of guys on the stage, mosh and sing alongs at Bulldoze cover “The Truth”!

What interesting is happening in the Polish hardcore scene now?
A lot of new bands are starting and this is so fucking great for everyone! Hardcore in Poland is still alive!

What’s playing on your stereo the most at the moment?
Champion!!! And also Trapped Under Ice and Integrity.

Worst movie ever made?
At our last show with pure metal bands...and fans hahaha!

CDC "Burn" MCD out now

After countless shows and endless touring allover the world, Pennsylvania's one and only COOL DUDES CHILLIN' finally find some time to record 5 new songs for their longawaited FWH debut release. And people don't will be disappointed. The band continues the musical path they started with their successful 2003 Demo incl. hits like "Crowd war" and "This is forever", mixing up plain and simple PA-styled Hardcore with plenty of Breakdowns, Mosh and Singalongs. In the past years CDC rose up and built a name solely upon desire and devotion to the music and the road. Never riding coattails and never sucking dick. And now it's time for the next chapter in the CDC history.

Faust Again signs with Bastardized Records!


Message from the band:

"The new year brings good news and it’s about time to share them with you. We’re thrilled to announce that we just signed a deal with Bastardized Records from Germany. This decision was easy to make since Bastardized Records has been around for couple good years and you can definitely call these guys “pros”. Nevertheless the most important thing for us was the enthusiastic reaction we got from Bastardized team after they heard our demo tracks. Our goal was to work with people who share the same passion and enjoy our music as much as we do. Our new album will come out in May 2009 and we’re already working together with Bastardized Records and Go Down Believing on promo tour. We have a lot of plans for 2009 so stay tuned for more butt kicking news coming really soon. FA"
