Black Friday 29 to start 'Concrete Help' foundation

Here's a good example that all it takes is good will and you can make a change. The German hardcore band Black Friday 29 is setting an example for all of us collecting the money on all of their shows for the last couple of years to donate it to their godchild. Now, they're planning to start a foundation of their own called "Concrete Help". Here's what Björn from BF 29 got to say about it:

It has been almost two years since Black Friday 29 has decided to turn words into action. In our personal lives we always try to be the best persons we can, but we also wanted to put the bands message into something positive, into something others can benefit from. To support a little child as a our godchild was our goal, but it seemed never enough for me. It was a good beginning though.
We have always kept on talking about doing more, perhaps founding an incorporated, non-profit association.
As some of you might know, we had been carrying a piggy bank to most of our shows and collected money to donate this to our godchild. It has been very succesful in the last few months, considering the foundation we donate the money to (www.plan.de) doesn't want us to send more than 2 shippings per year. After we have send two shippings over to our godchild in Nicaragua, we still had money left over. Consequently your donated money went to the foundation PLAN to help the people in Haiti.
I have always believed in possible positive changes the HC scene can bring or at least take part in. Seeing that the donations went so well was proof enough for me.
So I have spoken to my bandmates and some other friends connected to the HC Scene and took the bigger step to found an incorporated, non-profit association. We still need to do the paperworks for the institutions, but this will be done within the next 3 or 4 weeks.
So don't be surprised to find a different piggy bank box on the merch table of Black Friday 29. It will from now on all be donated to "Concrete Help", the Hardcare way! Our godchild will still be supported as before!

Support this cause and don't be greedy when Black Friday 29 is playing your town!

New merch from Setback

New York based Setback have posted new merch in their webstore. Some of the new stuff include longsleeves, tees and hoodies. And while you there, make sure you order their latest album, Unfinished Business.

Here are some of the designs:

Bulldog Courage - From Heartache To Hatred

The band have been making plenty of noise in recent months with this release and that is sure to continue. Top quality shines throughout all of the tracks and the moment album opener ‘Where I've Been’ hits you know this album gonna be dope.

Reminiscent of classic hardcore acts like Madball, Agnostic Front or Blood For Blood, they add a lot of punk rock flavor to their sound at times sounding like Combat 84 or Last Resort would sound if they went hardcore. It’s got a pretty beefy sound and all of the songs are filled with fury, authenticity and testosterone. Breakdowns, sing alongs, circle pit parts – everything is here. Every time I put this album on play it just grabs me by the ear and demands me to play over and over again. Along with that come some of the brutally honest lyrics I’ve heard in a while in hardcore. The lyrical element isvicious, powerful and moving. Forget about all the petty bullshit numerous bands have been feeding you for years, Bulldog Courage deals strictly with real life themes and is not for the weak of heart. Crew, family and tattoos - this album is one of those rare gems that can make you realize what hardcore is really about.

“From Heartache To Hatred” has all the punch and impact a power-packed hardcore album should. It is listenable from front to back and there’s no weak track here. Drop everything and go listen to this, I guarantee satisfaction.
