UNDER 45

UNDER 45 - Stonewalled - LP (D96)


The cross-Channel trio UNDER 45 is back with a new gesture in the form of a full lenght album. About 3 years after their first effort, the band goes further into their musical blend. This is still some kind of electrifying post-punk that makes you bang your head from the first second and everything you loved about their first songs is still here but there is also more to expect and more to enjoy. UNDER 45 hits the mark with 10 new irresistibly sarcastic songs that you will find yourself humming instantly and that’s what we sorely need.

WOLFBRIGADE

WOLFBRIGADE - In Darkness You Feel No Regrets - Reissue - LP (D07 reissue)


The second album from the fiercest swedish hardcore punk band has been unavailable for more than a decade and we're very happy to bring it back in 2023, 20 years after its inception. « In Darkness » was one of the most influential records in the very prolific crust / hardcore scene of the early 2000s, ten songs of a perfect mix of brutality and melody and a cover of Poison Idea's Say Goodbye. We were very honored to be able to release the European version of this record in 2003 and the enthusiasm is still real to be able to offer you this reissue 20 years later. The disillusioned rage and urgency of this album remain intact after two decades. This reissue has been carefully prepared coincidentally with the band and packed in a gatefold cover with an impressive artwork by Wolfbrigade's very own bass player Johan Erkenvåg. It comes in a gatefold sleeve and there are clear & black marble and purple & black marble colored vinyl versions available for mailorder.

LITOVSK

LITOVSK - Maxi - 12"


Growing up at the end of the world makes you feel unique and timeless things. There is universality in life apart from the excessive urbanism of big cities, rocked by the waves and a not so rare sun. The teenage years are those of endless summers where feelings and the taste for freedom enter a new dimension. LITOVSK takes a look at this period but also on its commitment to activism and questions its relationship to others, social determinism and religious faith. This record could be described as a kind of testimony but it’s much more than that : lyrics, music and artwork go in the same direction and form a rich protean ensemble. During these five songs, LITOVSK ventures into new territories with more melodies and more room for melancholy without losing anything of their singular sound and energy. This 12’’ was recorded between Leipzig and Brittany and it is brilliantly illustrated by Evan Luven’s full of sensitivity photos.

SYNDROME 81

SYNDROME 81 - Prisons Imaginaires - LP/CD (D81)


Between the quays, the docks, the cranes and the Brest arsenal, it’s been almost 10 years since Syndrome 81 got down to the heavy task of bringing 80's punk rock up to date. In just a few EPs, the band has become one o f the best representatives of a new French scene internationally. Syndrome 81 manages the perfect blend of various influences of the second punk wave, from the american hardcore of Negative Approach to the french punk-rock of Camera Silens by way of the cold english punk of Blitz. Like an endless wandering in a drifting society, Syndrome 81’s music and lyrics are rough and cold. With Prisons Imaginaires, the songs become even more effective, and we can already imagine the next shows where the public will sing along to the brilliantly formulated refrains. Syndrome 81 describes the spleen of everyday life and the boredom of life in Brest, far from everything, like no other. Syndrome 81's first full length was long overdue but this time was used wisely to deliver a perfect album. This time you can choose between and green and black vinyl

BLEAKNESS

BLEAKNESS - Life At A Standstill - LP/CD (D90)


Things are getting crazier every day, these times are even worse than what we could have feared only a few years ago but thankfully there are many forms of expression which are so many ramparts to resignation and defeatism. BLEAKNESS is a great testimony of that. “Life at a Standstill” is the second full lenght of this prolific and inspired band. Through these ten new songs, BLEAKNESS walks on a wire between tension and a certain sense of sensibility. The band succeeds in nuance and inventiveness : more vocal diversity, more melodic and rhythmic richness… without losing the energy and the urgency acclaimed in their previous efforts. « Life at a Standstill » shows the range of possibilities of punk culture, BLEAKNESS brings lots of new atmospheres in its universe.

BOMBARDEMENT

BOMBARDEMENT - Le futur est là - LP (D89)


As the sky is once again studded with bombs the history repeats itself endlessly. “A giant game of chess they play with you and I as the disposable pieces” isn’t it ? There will always be atrocities to document and to denounce. This record fits perfectly to the current context. The lyrics have never been so meaningful in the sense that they depict a world where the dark side of the human race has the upper hand, where scorn and hatred know no end. Do we need to tell you that this new offering from BOMBARDEMENT is their best record ever and that you will never get enough of this raging punk deluge ? Yes, the guitars are like sharp incisors starving for revenge. Yes, the vocals resonate like bomb alerts. The future is here and it’s no fairy tale.

GOING AWAY PARTY - A Ride With Our Ghosts - 12" (D88)


The post-punk wave of the last few years has brought us so many great bands and so many that remain to be discovered. GOING AWAY PARTY delighted us with a great four tracks demo released in winter 2019. With “A Ride With Our Ghosts”, their first vinyl release and impressive alloy of punk incisiveness and dark disenchantment, the band gives its interpretation of a severe and cold environment.The singular atmosphere of cold tension which reigns in GOING AWAY PARTY has something both captivating and exhilarating. The songs shine in their darkness and offer a nagging richness. GOING AWAY PARTY members are also known to play in great bands such as BARREN?, BITPART, BLEAKNESS, CATISFACTION or TURQUOISE... The band was surrounded by friends to make this record a reality : it was recorded and mixed by Jacky Cadiou in Brest and mastered by Will Killingworth at Dead Air Studios. The artwork has been made from pictures by Joan Astarac. It’s a corelease with Sabotage and Les Choeurs de l’ennui.

CATISFACTION - Kill 'em All - LP (D87)


“Kill ‘Em All”, what a name for a record, isn’t it? Here is finally the first long awaited CATISFACTION vinyl release. The band took everyone by surprise with the spontaneity and the electrical energy they give off. They have kept writing hits after hits since their demo released in 2019. Above all, we love the way the trio embodies its music. Three voices blend in both french and english and make CATISFACTION such a unique band. These hyperactvists play also play in an impressive number of bands : MARY BELL, BITPART, NEUF VOLTS, GOING AWAY PARTY, BETTER OFF DEAD... There is a limited colored vinyl version for mailorder.

STALLED MINDS - Shades - LP (D86)


STALLED MINDS is composed of the three quarters of YOUTH AVOIDERS and even if the guitar playing is recognizable miles away, the two bands don’t have much in common. “Shades” is coming out at just the right moment of the year. These 11 songs are the perfect answer to days getting shorter, darker and colder. Expect some warm, super-fast, energetic and thrilling pop but punk music.There is some communicative enthusiasm which shines through STALLED MINDS and who can complain about that ? Informed ears compare them to THE NERVES. This is the band's first full length, brilliantly articulated between lively choruses and frantics riffs. We can’t get enough of this album and we know you won’t either. Recorded by Nico Destructure at Swan Sound Studio, Mixed by Jacky Cadiou At The Movies Studio, Mastered by Daniel Husayn at North London Bomb Factory Mastering. Artwork by Jamie Arteries, band picture by Joan Dastarac.

BARREN? - Distracted To Death... Diverted From Reality - LP (D85)


BARREN? comes out of the greyness of a sick world in which we have to build hope by ourselves. Between urban drifts and authority abuses, voices can still resonate and this record proves it. BARREN? cultivates a great sense of both melancholy and uprising. The band may remind you the darker acts of the UK anarcho punk scene such as THE MØB just to name one. Those familiar with the Parisian DIY punk scene have probably seen BARREN? playing live with one of the different line-ups they had through the years. The band is now a three pieces and seems to have found the perfect brew. We’re happy to help these sincere guys and friends to release their first full length. The record comes in a poster sleeve with great Orwellian artwork by Barreto.

UNDER 45 - Cancelled - 12" (D83)


There are new bands which catch your attention like a gripping face coming out of nowhere. The kind of unexpected phenomenon which might even make you like surprises. UNDER 45 probably says nothing to you but it’s only a matter of time before you get charmed by this very unique form of musical expression. Some might describe it as post-punk or try to assign to it a wide range of influences from different time periods, styles or scenes but it’s not the point. We just want to invite you to let yourself be seduced like we’ve been seduced ourselves from the very first seconds. Seduced by the sarcastic but clever poetry, by the bright guitars and by the persuasive bass lines. Anyway, we can give you some names to set up the scenery if you need : THE FALL, PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED, UK DECAY…

ZONE INFINIE - Dégâts - 7" (D82)


It’s hard to realize that almost three years have passed since the release of ZONIE INFINIE second full length “Rester et Fuir” as the songs of the band sound timeless. “Dégâts” makes no difference to the very distinctive sense of both melancholy and warmth ZONE INFINIE has built its universe on. The band has no fear of integrating new influences and atmospheres to their punk music. These four new songs are a great testimony of the harsh world the band is living in, still developing a realistic and sometimes poetic everyday life lyrics style. Once again, the artwork has been by the brilliant Yvan Brun. You guessed it, “Dégâts” is an awesome record !

MARY BELL - Bellatrix Boadicea - LP (D79)


Impressively packed in an epic and monumental artwork by Elzo Durt, “Bellatrix Boadicea” is a tumult of impressions, sensations and acts. The name “Bellatrix Boadicea” itself brings its share of mystery and it may sounds unfamiliar to some of us. This MARY BELL new full length gets its title from Boudica, the queen of a celtic tribe who led an uprising against the conquering forces of the roman empire in AD 60. Another form of sedition comes from the fourteen songs of this album, proceeding from haunted and noisy claims to frenetic punk jolts, from frenzy to introspection. The band is back where they left with “Histrion”, their critically acclaimed previous effort. A record which has managed to convince fans of punk, hardcore and garage and we bet that “Bellatrix Boadicea” will seduce an even larger audience with richer songs and atmospheres...
