Lille has been the birthplace of so many great bands these past years. We've already released a couple of records with bands from this exciting punk scene (SHORT DAYS, GUTTER…), ANNEES ZERO is a quite new band coming from the darkness and the filth of a bitter world close to explode. The band consists of current and ex members of great bands like SHORT DAYS, SEVICES, KRONSTADT It's a tense and enraged kind of hardcore which blows up to your face. The french lyrics are pissed off but definitely humans, dealing differend aspects of a fucked up society. This 5 7" is their second effort, after a demo tape released last year. It was recorded by Sam D. Hyde and mastered by Dead Air Studio. It comes with a nice artwork made by our friend Hugues Pzzl.

Here we go again with a band from Lille, risen from the still burning ashes of TRAITRE, KRONSTADT is a new band from this really active punk scene. The ease option would be to compare them to their previous band but we won't. KRONSTADT offers some great punk-rock, heady and melancholic but also straightforward and catchy. A bunch of French punk bands from the 80's may come to mind while listening to this as well as more recent stuff but don't get wrong, KRONSTADT is nothing else but KRONSTADT. This 12" gathers anger, disobedience and urgency. KRONSTADT is also a band which succeeds at this hard task which writing french lyrics. This is a corelease with Une Vie Pour Rien, Senseless acts of Anger and Les Âmes d'Atala.

BLEAKNESS had the opportunity to record demo of new songs before leaving on tour with FOTOCRIME last september and to release a tape containing half of this session. This demo is a promising draft as these songs will be re-recorded hopefully soon for a new record. This recording get to the point, it is raw but its a new proof of the band ability to look deeper in their identity, sharping their music again. These four songs are both dark and energic, there is a particular feeling in them like in the hypnotic. "Persistent Inadequacy" or in the instrumental "Remedy the Unease" for which they invited Samuel Frin to play saxophone. This session was recorded by Anthony Gandon in Nantes and mixed by Jacky Spector in Brest. As usual, it comes with a great artwork by Jerome Sztuka Wojny.

The trio strikes again, a couple of months only after the "Ruined Fate" 7", BLEAKNESS went back to the Swan Sound Studio to record four songs. During this short length of time, the band has managed to flesh itself out. Basically, the formula stays the same but it's brought to the upper level. This 12" is a concentrate of punk-rock driven by inspired guitar melodies and rough vocals. Whether musically or lyrically, passion and sincerity are really tangible in this band. This record comes in the shape of a one-sided 12" with a great silkscreened b side and cover arts by our friend Jerome Sztuka Wojny. It's a corelease with Kink and Sabotage Records in Germany and La Agonía de Vivir in Spain.

"Relentless" is the long awaited YOUTH AVOIDERS second album. The five years between this new full lenght and their debut have been really intense for the band, made of constant live appearances everywhere around the globe. Intensity is the trademark of YOUTH AVOIDERS, "Relentless" is the fruit of a five days session in the Normandy countryside studio Swan Sound. To keep it simple, "Relentless" is YOUTH AVOIDERS making what they have done so good so far but even better : catchy riffing, rich melodies, inexhaustible drumming, sharp vocals... The band has also raised the tempo, these 11 songs go at an unrestrained pace. "Relentless" well bears its name !

Short Days hails from Lille, nothern France. They've released a bunch of ep's getting better and better record after record. We really loved their "Bleak City" 7" out last year and we were more than pleased when the band proposed us to corelease their first full length. So "Short Days" is out now, 11 tracks of energy and catchiness often compared to The Observers or Social Cyrcle. Youth Avoiders with a bit more of melody can also come to mind listening this killer LP. The band has had the great idea of including some keyboard parts here and there. The album was recorded in Roy-de-Rats studio in Leipzig, and mastered by Daniel Husayn at North London Bomb Factory.
