SKATE-O-PHOBIA

Very bad news for the skatepunk scene! One of the fastest bands from South America (Lima, Peru) have posted an article at their MySpace-Site that they split up!

Alessandro (drums), Mario (vocals, guitar), Lizardo (guitar, vocals) and José Luis (bass, vocals) finally formed the band in 2005, after some members changes between 2002 and 2005.

Their first Full Lenght "La Ilusión Que Llevas" was released in 2007 (after a couple of demos), and was at first only released in Peru and Japan via Bells On Records, but soon spread out worldwide because of the high demand level!

Play Attenchon have already shared stage with bands like Propagandhi, 69 Segundos, Have Heart, Shipwreck A.D, No Big Deal, and 7 Dice.

They announced to release a new album in 2010, but i'm sorry to say that this is untenable now ...

Please, we don't feel right now like writing an explanation why the band has disolved. We would appreciate if we wouldn't receive messages asking why and all of that. It's due to personal differences, as friends and as performers, things weren't working anymore between us.

We really thank all the people and all the bands who has supported us in sooo many ways during all these years, you guys know exactly who you are and we couldn't start mentioning one by one because this list would be endless.

Holy f*ck, I can't even believe this is happening but sometimes is better to stop things before they start getting worse and worse. Again, I can't stop thanking all of you guys and bands, you made us who we were during the last years: a fucking great skatepunk band.

Some of us may start new musical projects soon that we will obviously keep you informed as soon as they start. Some will probably take different ways but there's no doubt that skatepunk is still a part of some of us. Expect new bands REALLY soon.

Thanks sooo much, sooo sooo much for everything. This hurts more than I'd ever thought. THANKS.

Loves you like you can't imagine how much,

PLAY ATTENCHON
skatepunk from a third world country.

PD: this is not the end.

Lange hat es gedauert, bis die Coalition-Split endlich veröffentlicht wurde. Die Fangemeinde des (ultra-)schnellen Skatepunks postete schon seit einiger Zeit quer durch alle Foren und Blogs, ob bereits jemand das Album zu Hause hat, oder ob es wenigstens schon ein paar Songs im Internet zum Probehören (und Downloaden) gibt.

Am 23.September wurde nun die Coalition-Split released, und sofort gab es kaum ein Forum, kaum eine Shoutbox, wo nicht nach diesem Sampler gefragt wurde.

Auf Interpunk.com wurde die Platte an den Releaseterminen sogar zum meistverkauften Album auf der gesamten (!) Plattform. Nur wenige Auserwählte hatten das Glück sich rechtzeitig die Split zu bestellen, bevor sie - wegen der zunächst viel zu stark limitierten Auflage - ausverkauft war. Anscheinend überraschte dieser Andrang Bells On Records (Label) gewaltig, selbst außerhalb der "Szene" wollten viele diesen begeehrten Sampler haben. Deshalb ist es auch umso bewundernswerter, dass es rund zwei Monate gedauert hat, bis es im Internet endlich die ersten Kopien des Samplers zu downloaden gab!

Einen Review des Albums werf ich Euch jetzt nochnicht her, hört Euch lieber einmal selbst eine der wohl schnellsten Splits des heurigen Jahres an.
