ZSD @ KAPU Linz 1986

ZSD ("Zielstrebige Degeneration" oder "Ziviler SicherheitsDienst" als Anspielung auf eben diesen, wegen zahlreicher bekanntgewordener Handgreiflichkeiten in den 80er) war eine Münchner Punkbank, die zwischen 1980-1987 existierte.

Die damaligen Gründungsmitglieder waren Wix (vocals + guitar), Ziggy Storbeck (bass), und Seppi (drums), der später mit Roman „Riondo“ Holler ausgetauscht wurde, bzw. spielte dieser auch gemeinsam mit Ziggy bei der Lohhofer Punkband "LustfingeR".

Kurz vor ihrer Auflösung gaben ZSD am 11.Jänner 1986 noch ein Konzert in der KAPU Linz, wovon ich einen fetten Mitschnitt für euch bekommen hab.

Forus Interview on French Television

French ultrafast and technical skatepunk band Forus have uploaded a new video on their Youtube-Account.

Rémi - drummer (and second vocalist) of Forus - was interviewed about music and the band on a french television broadcaster. However my french is too bad to understand more, but i have already asked a guy for translation into english, which will be posted soon :-).

The only thing i can understand is, that the interviewer says the band's name in an incorrectly french pronunciation (forüs) instead of "for-us".

There are some really awesome fast songs on it (personally, i enjoy the Forus, High Five Drive, Waterweed, Play Attenchon and Misled Balds demo versions a lot), and also an acoustic cover (All About Perspectives), which is played by french skatepunk-band StraightAway.

Setlist:

45 bucks for a T-Shirt?

To start with something positive:
This year, punk rock pioneers Bad Religion celebrate their 30th anniversary. They will do a couple of shows in Los Angeles, Anaheim, San Diego and Las Vegas, about their lifes, stories and of course with performing music!

Watch the tour-trailer:



Since 2009, there is a new product line, called "The Music Tee", which combines merchandise-articles (T-Shirts) and (digital) music, in one package. Simply put, you can go to the Music-Tee webstore, search a t-shirt (there are some featured artists), which is in combination with an album art and a tracklist. So, in this package you buy a t-shirt and get an album too.


Everyone who has order albums or merchandise stuff knows, that such packages are nothing special, normally you even get merchandise cheaper, if you buy an album too (and vice versa), and often there are also stickers, posters and flyers included for free.

However the music industry (especially major labels) claims it as a new beginning for digital releases and merchandise-articles; as a revolution to stop (illegal) downloads, and of course as a good new way to gain, since the cd-sales do not bring the big money.

"enables people to discover and purchase music in fashion retail environments, then hear and wear an album"


Ordering (for example the Bad Religion t-shirt, with their (digital) debut full lenght "How Could Hell Be Any Worse?") at "The Music Tee" costs 45$! You buy the tee shirts, and when it comes, there is a ticket hanging with an unique url for downloading the album.
Okay, it is good, that the music industry have found new ways to stop their self proclaimed depression, but 45$ is an absolutely brazenness! You can buy t-shirts and albums separatly in (local) webstores much cheaper ...

Red Lights Flash - For Your Safety + Old Records

Christian Friedl (vocals, buitar), Christoph Riebenbauer (guitar, vocals), Constantin Pammer (drums) and Werner Bauernfeind (bass, vocals) formed in 1997 (in Graz, Austria) one of Austria's best-known punkrock bands today; Red Lights Flash.

Soon, they became popular in the scene - also outside of austria: In 2000 they did theit first europe tour together with amercian punkrockers Good Clean Fun. Red Lights Flash also toured and played with bands like Capdown, Anti-Flag (3 times through europe; RLF also signed at A-F Records!), Rise Against, Alexisonfire, Rentokill, A Wilhelm Scream (2 europe-tours), The Unseen, Pipedown and Strike Anywhere.

After 4 years without any news or new songs, Red Lights Flash released an amazing new (DIY) full-lenght album - named For Your Safety - last autumn.

For Your Safety has everything you like: there are strong, raw and fast melodic-hardcore songs, but also fine, elegant pop-punk-sounded tracks on the CD. Certainly with critical lyrics about politics, culture and religion.

En passant, the album was mixed and mastered by Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore in Fort Collins' Blasting Rooms Studios!

Finally here is a nice quotation from their website:

In a time when the music industry is down on its knees and only trends control the charts, the time will come for every band to make a choice between the music business’ only two cornerstones - trend or quality.

Misconduct - One Step Closer + News

In 1995, Fredrik „Ollo“ Olsson (vocals, guitar), Fredrik Andersson (guitar), Mattias Nielsen (bass) and Jonas „J.C.“ Carlsson (drums) formed the hardcore-punk band Misconduct (in Kristinehamn, Sweden). Until now, they had some member changes in the line-up (today: Ollo, Erik Ydlinger (guitar), Simon Guidoum (vocals, bass) and Daniel Petri (drums)), but their albums got better and better. They have found their unique melodic sound since the "United As One" album.

Yesterday, i read that I Scream Records signs Misconduct! This is very interesting, because the band was signed before at "Side By Side Records", which was founded by Fredrik Olsson's wife Marielle!

At the moment, Misconduct are in the studios for recording their new album "One Step Closer", which will be released in spring 2010, right before they will start their next European tour. Stay tuned for more informations!
