STD! 035 Dean Dirg
...the last kid on the block lp
I know it might seem strange, but Muenster is currently a musical hotbed of activity. First you had great records by The Grizzly Adams Band, Rosettes, Highscore, Durango 95 (all on ...Stereodrive! incidently), then great releases by Muff Potter and Hillside and now we are proud to release the new 14 song album by Dean Dirg. Following a self-released 10" and a debut album on Pandora's Box, this 4-piece now unleashes a new 14 song monster of a record. Their sound is simple, raw, to the point. They shred their chords, they yell, they blast you with short one and a half minute max. shrapnel bursts of pure pissed off'ness. Think back to when all those really good bands ruled the earth. Think early US hardcore (remember the Circle Jerks, ever heard of the Angry Samoans?), think snotty, nihilistic 77 styled punk rock (kick into style with the Users, get a hatful of hate from the Pagans). And then think on. But since we realise most of you are too lazy to do exactly that, here's a short run down of some "modern" bands that Dean Dirg could be associated with: The Moorat Fingers, Henry Fiat's Open Sore, The Columbian Neckties, Baseball Furies, Zeke (for pure ferocious power, forget those "metal" tendencies!), The Zodiac Killers, etc. etc. On tour throuout march & april, so be sure to watch out for this one!

Cause for alarm 7"
Brand new 3 track 7“ by this bunch of unruly Swedes. The A-side is taken off of their upcoming album “Final oddition” (out early February on Burning Heart Rec.), but both songs on the B-side are exclusive to this release.

STD! 033 Durango95
Take me away lp/cd
Brand new album by this M¸nster based powerhouse! Durango 95 play a fast, energetic and way melodic mix of raw & abrasive punk rock and driving old school hardcore. Their sound can best be described as the perfect combination of the anthemic singalong sounds of (early) Rancid, Bombshell Rocks or even The Clash and more modern, youthful hardcore bands a la Strike Anywhere, Kid Dynamite or Kill Your Idols. 11 songs to blast your speakers and tons of positive reviews all over the place. Hooray for punk rock!

STD! 032 Psychopunch
Long way down 7"
Following 4 albums for White Jazz Records (of course home to The Hellacopters, Gluecifer & a whole plethora of scandinavian rockers), this wild bunch of Swedes has now laid down 2 tracks for a brandnew 7” on …Stereodrive! Records. Both songs are previously unreleased and show the band in fine form: Massive, rocking guitar action meets some fine & sleazy desperado punk in a head on collision. These cats swagger & sway without losing their momentum one minute and will bowl you over with 2 songs of pure adrenaline overkill!

STD! 031 Puffball
Outlaw 7"
Holy shit! Europe's Numero Uno Hi-Speed Kamikaze Rockers have teamed up with us for a brandnew 3-song blitzkrieg. The title track is lifted from this year's totally no bullshit "Leave them all behind" album, but the B-side features 2 unreleased tracks of sonic mayhem, incl. a cover of "Mama tried" by the always cool Merle Haggard. And hey, it's not really that hard to pin down Puffball's brand of uncompromising noise, although plenty of folks still don't seem to get it. Puffball are all about maximum speed, maximum volume and pushing the limits to the absolutely ridiculous! Take equal parts Motörhead, Zeke and The Dwarves, highball 'em with a hefty dose of flaming nitro and - whammo! - you've got the perfect recipe for disaster! As one reviewer said "Puffball are sure to make you want to get behind the wheel of your road machine and put the pedal to the floor. 115 mph with the windows rolled down."! What more can we say - you WILL need this!

STD! 030 Grizzly Adams Band
Inflight Entertainment lp
I can remember someone responsible for this label stating some time ago, that our hometown Münster has absolutely no good bands, which - I can now confess - is a straight-out lie! Not only have The Rosettes set out to conquer the world, but now we also have The Grizzly Adams Band to contend for. This bunch of fine young men has released two 7"es on their own so far & we are now more than proud to be able to unleash this beast of a debut album onto the world! And I dare you to listen to this collection of great songs and not to go absolutely apeshit! Taking their cue from the budget rock explosion of the 90ies and such all time greats as The Rip Offs, Problematics, Infections, Drags, Statics etc. and that cool, patented Rip Off records sound, The Grizzly Adams Band have managed to record 14 songs, that not only DO NOT suck, but also plain out ROCK! Opening with the sure fire hit "Ghost city riders", The Grizzlies go straight for the throat, with way catchy songs about Nazi UFO's, Steve McQueen and of course always popular topics such as desperation, loneliness & the root of all evil: girls! Pairing fast, upbeat machine gun riffs a la early The Damned with a cool late 70ies sound and hooks that I guarantee won't leave your crainium for at least 3 months, "Inflight entertainment" is a winner!

STD! 029 The Revolvers
I send you a rockstar postcard from L.A. 7"
The title track can also be found on last years amazing People Like You album "A tribute to cliches", but the flipside features two new & unreleased songs by this german glam punk outfit. The Revolvers have gotten favorable reviews in all major publications and are constantly on tour. Currently they are working on a new album (also to be released on People Like You) and are sharpening their tunes & look for 2003! Forget about the Swedes (Backyard Babies, Bones,...) and Americans (Social D, D-Generation, American Heartbreak,...): The Revolvers have got it all in spades!

STD! 028 Division of Laura Lee
Need to get some 7"
Another neat co-release with Burning Heart Records. Just fresh off of the Heartattack tour with labelmates Bombshell Rocks, Peepshows & Raised Fist, Division Of Laura Lee have released the first proper single off of the highly acclaimed "Black city" album and we are proud to release the exclusive & limited vinyl edition. The title track is taken from that album, but the B-side features 2 unreleased tracks - "Upside down" and a very cool & laid back remix of "I guess I'm healed". DOLL's sound has matured considereably over the years and bursts at the seams like a pinata about to explode! The rhythmic intracacies of At The Drive In are fuelled by that true & gritty rock'n'roll spirit and it yet remains to be seen if the world will catch on to them in the same way as everybody is now slobbering over The Hives.

STD! 027 The Demonics
Evil angel 7" **
Wow! Can't really say how cool it is to be able to release another 7" for one of our favorite bands out there! The Demonics have put out two great albums for Man's Ruin / Alien Snatch / Screaming Apple full of brilliantly catchy, revved up Drag Punk and are just now getting ready to release their third record "Ritual on the beach". The title track is lifted from that record, but not only do you get the exclusive, slow Stooges-styled rocker "Caught inside" on the flipside, you also have absolutely amazing 4 color, fold-out Chuck Sperry coverartwork - this is real eye- & ear candy for sure!!

STD! 026 The Peepshows s/t lp/cd
8 brand new, unreleased songs on this fine new record by Sweden’s finest. Altho the songs were actually recorded before the session for their new Burning Heart album “Refuge for degenerates”, you can already hear the trademark “new old” sound here. Taking the best of 60ies & 70ies rock, The Peepshows have come up with a very fine recipe for that good old fashioned sound. Similar to The Hellacopters, they have crafted their very own musical niche in a very timeless fashion. This record features 2 very cool cover versions of Radio Birdman’s “Murder city nights” and the Flamin’ Groovies classic “Shake some action” which should give you some indication where The Peepshows are coming from.

STD! 025 Highscore
Unsuspecting actors in a bad soap opera lp/cd **
"Unsuspecting actors in a bad soap opera" is a 22 minute and 28 seconds to-the-point definition of no-compromise old school hardcore. This record is just like an unstoppable steam engine and definetly marks the zenith of Highscore’s work up to now. The band forges its way through 17 songs that will simply leave you breathless. Meaningful and heartfelt lyrics, with a strong focus on social and political issues, are screamed out in one insane amok run accompanied by a thrashing, blasting and never stopping instrumental zombie army. Imagine being right in the heart of an avalanche rolling down the Mount Everest then you get a clue what it's like to skateboard with highscore on your walkman. This record is a definite must and consolidates their position as one of the world's leading old school bands.

STD! 024 Millencolin Kemp 7"
Better late than never! This is the limited vinyl version of Millencollin’s latest 3 song mcd on Burning Heart Rec.. Aside from the title track which is lifted from their great last album “Home from home”, this 7” features 2 unreleased tracks on the B-side, “The downhill walk” and “Absolute zero”. I don’t really think much needs to be said about Millencollin: Their sound has matured with each and every new record and “Home from home” marks the pinnacle in their carreer. Very cool, melodic and diverse Hardcore which helped define a whole genre.

STD! 023 Hammercocks / Faggot Kings Split LP
A ballsy trans-atlantic team up of two great followers of the good ‘ol down & dirty tradition of buzzsaw Destructo Punk. The Hammercocks are from Texas and as everybody who’s ever been down south knows: You just don’t mess with Texas! Their gun slingin’, bad mouthin’ and beer sluggin’ approach to Redneck Scum Punk knows no friends or foes. If you need comparisons, look to their allies Antiseen, the Hookers or Nine Pound Hammer – and then run! The Faggot Kings are proud members of the German Community Of Filth, and it shows! 7 songs of muscular, brutish and tuned down chainsaw riffs coupled with pounding, driving rhythms and one song even features Gus Chambers of Grip Inc. on guest vocals. This is truly a “hell” of a split release!!!

STD! 022 Columbian Neckties Social women 7"
Can’t really say how proud we are to be able to release 2 songs by one of the best bands in Europe if not the whole world at the moment! Forget all the hype – The Columbian Neckties will deliver! Take the raw, distorted fury of really early New Bomb Turks, add the swagger & cool of The Devil Dogs, throw in a good measure of the sonic mayhem of the early Saints and then turn your fucking amps up to 11 – that in a nutshell is the sound of The Columbian Neckties! This 2 song 7” comes right in between the release of their first and second album for Sounds Of Subterrania and if you need to check out one band today, let it be The Columbian Neckties!!

STD! 021 Randy The Heebie Jeebies 7"
If you thought this bunch of Swedes was just another generic melodic hardcore band, then think again! Their last album for Burning Heart “The human atom bombs” was easily just as great and just as mind blowing as The Hives tour de force hit record “Veni vidi vicious”: Welding short, sharp and explosive punk blasts to unforgettable hook lines and clever left wing lyrics, Randy definitley have a winner on their hands! This 3 song 7” features one track from that recent album and two previously unreleased tracks on the B-side, “Worried song” and “Rocket 88”. Prepare for this band to blow up – and that could actually be meant literally!!

Germany’s finest are back! Following their great Split 7” with Silver Tongued Devil and their 2 debut 7”es for Incognito and Intensive Scare this bunch of madmen from the South has finally managed to record their first full length album. Complete with that great, driving sixties-styled organ, cool songs and loaded with hard hitting riffs The Crime Kaisers have avoided falling into “that same old same old” routine and surprise us with fresh sounding, hook-laden overdrive Rock’nRoll, incl. attitude galore and that special something.

This is absolutely amazing hi-octane, raw power rock’n’roll that puts most of the competition to shame. Add a light touch of Glam to the straight rocking sound and then file next to D-Generation, Black Halos, Electric Frankenstein, B-Movie Rats or Gluecifer – yep, it’s that good!

STD! 018 Smut Peddlers ISM lp
Ok, watch out for this one! California’s one and only Smut Peddlers (not to be confused with that OTHER hip hop band…) are back with an absolute monster of a fourth album! Following 2 7”es for Hostage records and three full lengths on their own label Ransom Records, as well as numerous contributions to loads of different compilations, this 4 piece mean machine has just released the most devestating 14 cuts of sonic mayhem you will probably hear this year! Taking their cue from the whole west coast beach punk scene and bands such as Smogtown, The Pushers, The Stitches, The Crowd or The Numbers, they mix it up with a good dose of old school hardcore (and this means stuff like the first Circle Jerks album, early Fear etc.) and blast you with great songs like "Do the flop”, "Surfer’s grave” or "Inglewood heroin morning”. "Ism” is chock-full of instant classics, so don’t say you haven’t been warned!!!

STD! 016 The Rosettes Enchantment under the Sea lp
It's about time for a full length on ...Stereodrive! and I must say, the debut by this local 4 piece came just in time! We are not really that much in to putting out stuff by local bands (for the simple reason that, quite frankly, 99% of the stuff from Münster simply sucks!), but The Rosettes have got that special something. The 12 songs remind you of the sadly now defunct Aerobitch right off the bat - thanks of course to lead singer Betty Brat's coarse yet melodic vocal delivery. Add a snotty 77 styled approach, some dirty rock'n'roll guitar licks, a pinch of authentic sounding surf & garage twists and very convincing, well produced songs and you end up with The Rosettes. This is pure 110% kick ass punk rock!! Don't miss out, just cuz you've never heard the name before! If you're a fan of Euro punk a la TV Killers, Pleasure Fuckers, Aerobitch, Dialtones etc, you should definitely check them out!

Gothenburg, Sweden's finest are a new signing to B.H. and are set to support The (International) Noise Conspiracy on their upcoming european tour. Just like their label mates The Hives, Division Of Laura Lee have a hard to pin down but still very unique sound that sets them apart from the masses. I hear some rocking later period Union Carbide Productions (especially in the very cool vocals!) plus that explosive rhythmic drive that fuels Fuagzi and At The Drive In - watch out for this band, I think we are going to be hearing a lot more of them in the future!!

STD! 013 Adam West Flower, fist and bestial wail 7" **
Jake Starr's fabulous band has released more 7"es and split 7"es (with The Hellacopters, Powder Monkeys, Candy Snatchers, Rickshaw,...) for more different labels (Safety Pin, HDP, Fandango, Reanimator,...) than any other band I can think of (even Electric Frankenstein!), so it was just a question of time before we got our dirty hands on Adam West. They just toured thru Europe in support of their new lp on People Like You and the title track of this 7" is also included on "Right on!" in a different version. The B-side features 2 unreleased gems, though - a cover of the Misfits classic "Where eagles dare" and the rocking "Beltway to my heart (Beltway to the Starr)" - which was written for Adam West singer Jake Starr by ex- Devil Dog Steve Baise. If you are into classic greats such as The Stooges, MC 5, Black Sabbath, AC/DC and The Misfits, you will love this band!

In case you have been living under a rock lately and missed their first two great 7"es on Rick Bain's Hostage Records label as well as their rocking 10" debut on Dead Beat, let us warn you, that The Numbers scorching sound is set to conquer the world! Their crash & burn approach is similar to that of like minded bands such as the Stitches, Smogtown or The Pushers and is firmly rooted in the west coast's great musical past.

Voice Of A Generation are rapidly reaching the same level of success as their label mates Bombshell Rocks and also play a similar brand of anthemic, at the same time melodic & snotty as hell street punk. They draw on influences such as all the great, late 70ies british bands as well as american outlaw rock'n'roll a la Social Dstortion and add a very own twist which gives them that extra edge.

On this split 7" this 5 man mean machine bulldozes thru 2 exclusive cuts like there is no tomorrow. Straight up, unrelenting, no bullshit punk rock that can only be compared to greats like Antiseen, Electric Frankenstein or scandinavian style »Über Rock« on speed. The Crime Kaisers are from the south of germany, have got 2 7"es under their belt as well as cuts on the prestigious »Fistfull of R'n'R« and »R'n'R Au Go Go« compilations. Their 2 songs are also exclusive to this 7" and have more of a garage / sixties punk feel to them.

STD! 009 The Donots / Midtown Split 7"
This is a co-release with Bushido Rec. and somewhat of a departure from the generally more straight & punk rocking sounds on ...Stereodrive! Rec. The Donots are local mega stars who actually managed to chart in the german Top 40 with their new album »Pocket rock«. Here you will find 2 songs (1 previously unreleased) which can most of all be compared with the melodic Pop Punk of contemporaries like Samiam or Bad Religion. But especially the second song is an exceptionally raw and distorted blast of pure rage which they saved up for this limited split 7". Midtown hail from the USA and supported The Donots on their full blown european tour. They mix more "emo" sounding melodic Punk a la Lifetime with great songwriting and an almost eerie knack for melodies. Due to a fuck up at the pressing plant, the whole pressing is on blue vinyl, sorry.

But their debut album »Survival sickness« still brims over with an unbridled freshness and is overflowing with great, soulfull garage punk that welds the sex & sweat of James Brown to the unrelenting energy of men (& women) posessed of a vision. Comparisons have been made to everyone from the politically outspoken Nation Of Ulysses to the straightfroward neo-sixties trash of The Makers and the gospel tinged hardcore of The Make Up, so prepare for an ear-opening ride!

Comparisons can only be drawn to the ferocious sonic assault of The Saints circa »I'm stranded« era and the melodic yet rocking songs of the new wave of US punk a la The Bodies, Upsets or Stitches.

SBR 005 Aina Bipartite lp
After a short period of inactivity and with a big bunch of excellent reviews of their previous and acclaimed album, the spanish indie / hardcore scene "fab four" come back with a record where the hardcore inheritance finds the definitive comunion with Rock - in capitals. Because it's not only about indie rock, from Superchunk to Arcwelder, but about thick, mature rock, with that classical flavour that will make us think of Cheap Trick or AC/DC and also Rocket From The Crypt or Queens of The Stone Age. Of course, never forgetting the legacy of the Washington DC sound, from Bluetip to Jawbox, that has been one of their identity signs since their "adult" era. The recording for "Bipartite” was done at Inner Ear Studios in Washington DC (Fugazi, Dag Nasty,...) by Jay Robbins (Jawbox / Burning Airlines), and followed by a succesful tour along the United States, with shows in New York, Chicago, Milwaukee, Kansas, Cincinatti, Detroit, Cleveland, Washington DC,... A European tour in november and december with Shiner will bring them to France, Germany, Great Britain, Italia, Belgium, The Netherlands, Croatia, Czech Republic,... Licenced from B-Core Discs, who just released the cd version of "Bipartite”.

A hook is a hook...but with Last Days Of April, it's an epic masterpiece. Inventive arrangements, bittersweet melodies, flawless instrumentation and the masterful production of Fireside's Pelle Gunnerfeldt give "Angel youth” its hidden edge. Layers of strings and pianos surround songs examining the tender sting of relationships past. Receiving critical praise in indie rock circles worldwide, this record is nothing short of outstanding. Impossible to listen to just once. "Nothing's Found" on the well known and respected "Emo Diaries Three” compilation on Deep Elm Records. The cd version of "Angel youth” is released on Bad Taste Rec.
