We love flea markets but hate DHL people not leaving notes
I don't know what's wrong with people. This is the 2nd package within a few months that was send back because we didn't get a notice about a package having arrived for us.
Unfortunately this means the Business and Cockney Rejects 7"es announced as coming soon will be taking a little longer. Fucking DHL douchebag not leaving a note. How hard is it to do that?
On a lighter note there's an indoor DIY Fleamarket @ Limes in Köln, Mülheim this Sunday Feb. 9th and we're bringing the distro. Come by, have a nice sunday and take home some nice vinyl. If you want any Shirts let us know up front so we can bring one for you because we won't be taking any.

CLASSICS TIME
Alona's Dream Records has pre-orders up for the
BORED YOUTH - ARE YOU ALIVE 1982 LP
Naturally we can't pass on a classic like that so we put in an order for a few copies and Chris told us he wants to give our copies a SPECIAL treatment so they STICK OUT from the rest. How awesome is that?! Thank you Chris!!!
So keep your eyes on us if you want to get a copy that's even more limited than the pre-order version he is putting together.
Although I have to say that a screenprinted cover is nothing to sneeze at and you can even choose between black and clear vinyl.
If that's your kinda thing you should hurry and pre-order your copy here now. I sure did!
In other great news the records from Radio Raheem / Painkiller aka ABUSED, BREAKDOWN, HIGH & MIGHTY, SACRILEGE are finally in transit towards us.
There's even a slight possibility to get some No Thanks LPs. The original shipment was lost but we might get a few copies when 50% of us are in the US in march. We'll keep you posted about that.
Cockney Rejects & The Business 7"es though have still not arrived with us and might be lost too. Damn fucking postal service. What's wrong with them? How do you lose a package? Where did it go? Anyway we decided to wait a little longer and hope the records will arrive but if they don't Ugly Pop will send our order again once the repress is in. While that is very generous of them we really hope the original shipment will show up so no one has to take a hit.
Stay Alert!

The first review for the Hangin' Tough 7" is online:
Stageload Jan. 7th 2014
Stageload Jan. 7th 2014
So manch einer mag sich vielleicht gar nicht mehr daran erinnern, doch bis 2008 wüteten z.B. Bands wie Hoods Up aus Hamburg in der deutschen Straight Edge Szene. Auch Something Inside aus Senftenberg gaben sich bis Ende 2011 die Ehre und prügelten einem schnellen Straight Edge Hardcore á la Floorpunch um die Ohren.
Doch auch in Köln hat sich aktuell ordentlich was getan – Hangin’ Tough sind wieder da. Nach ihrer im Oktober 2011 veröffentlichten „Heart & Soul Demo“ schlägt die Straight Edge Moshkapelle erneut zu und versorgt uns mit einer sieben minütigen Self Titled EP die über Good Intentions Hardcore am 20.10.2013 veröffentlicht wurde.
Athletisch, wuchtig und geradeaus nach vorne, so startet die Partie mit „Hangin’ Tougher Than Ever“. Hier bekommt man ohne Umwege die volle Packung rein gedrückt. Schleppender Bass, klassischer Beat auf den Drums und flinke Gitarrenriffs, was will man mehr?
Dass die Burschen auch auf fesche Sneaker stehen, wird schnell bei „Heart On My Feet“ klar. “I’m just like you, just with better shoes. Because i wear my heart on my feet“. Sneaker und Hardcore? Geht immer! In den nachfolgenden Songs geht es dann beinahe ausnahmslos um das Straight Edge – Dasein sowie dessen way of life. “This is a struggle we will always win. So fuck you! I’m Straight Edge!“ Für Nicht-Straight-Edger rein textlich gesehen auf Dauer doch recht anstrengend und ermüdend.

Hangin’ Tough spielen Hardcore der eher älteren Schule, gemixt mit modernen moshigen Parts die live unglaublich fett rüberkommen. Eine Platte die in keinem Straight Edge – Haushalt fehlen darf, für Nicht-Edger jedoch kein Muss ist.
store update jan. 20th
Through trades and good old fashioned buying we were able to add the following records to our online shop:
AYS - suburban haze 7" buy
Fed to the Wolves - s/t 7" buy
HELL & BACK - everything… 7" listen | buy
Raw Justice - s/t 7" last 1st press copies available in europe buy
Static Void - duality 7" listen | buy
In other more sad news the No Thanks LPs that were listed as coming soon are definitely lost due to idiots working at either german customs or DHL and the singer for the band, who sent them to us is for reasons unknown not able to talk to the postal service about a refund. No idea what the problem is. Instead I always get the same answer she claims to be getting from her post office over and over again. The package is in Germany which according to german customs it is not anymore. Totally bummed about the hit we had to take on that. Money gone and no records. Sucks!
Also it looks like our last order from Ugly Pop Records got lost. The first time we ordered from them there was no problem so I guess this is again on behalf of german customs or DHL. WTF?!?!!? But we are still trying to sort it out with the label. Maybe they get returned to them. We'll keep you posted.
And the last bit of bad news is that for whatever reasons I am not getting a total for my combined order from Radio Raheem & Painkiller Records. It's the same guy behind both operations so I asked if he could send everything together so we could save on postage and therefore get them to you cheaper. He wrote it would be no problem and that he would get back to me with a total… Several weeks and emails later…. Still waiting for that. No reply anymore at all. What's up with that?
I feel cursed….
