Changes 15th January 2025 (Please Read!):

Hi! We changed the distro-model back to it's initial state. The "Wholesale for Everyone" idea wasn't working out as i wished and the minimum order just too high for many folks. Now we have regular retail prices again and no minimum order.

 

All you regular WHOLESALE CUSTOMERS please email me before you order as i need to change your account back to Wholesale.

 

This webshop-system is very old. I tried to update the payment function but failed. I need to get this done asap. For now, you send me the order and i get back to you via email So make sure my email reaches you and not your spam filters. Thanks!

BURNING FLAG – Matador LP
Zoom image

Burning Flag’s 3rd album Matador is equal parts crushing, subterranean, atmospheric and galloping momentum. It has a heavy dose of the sonics of modern metal, but at it’s heart it is political punk.

Dismissing Burning Flag as “Scathing Northern Punk Noise” as they claim on Facebook would be selling them short. Their music will be right up your alley if you love a bit of the old “crust”. Where metal meets punk, with pounding drums and anarcho attitude. They’ve listened to rule number one of punk: hit the drums hard. Downtuned guitars with the odd minor chord ooze heaviness with the metally tone providing a satisfying elastic twang from single strings here and there. Combined with the crushing bass sound, at times the music is dark enough to sound subterranean. There are brief moments where they have a more atmospheric feel with a hint of Killing Joke and the death rock sound. Whilst they start off at breakneck speed, Burning Flag don’t rely on this gimmick, using heaviness and good driving riffs to power the album along.

New addition Holly, formerly of Kiss Me Killer, has a strong voice which you’d need to power through the mix. Whilst mostly their style follows the strained shouting hardcore pattern she sometimes actually sings. This gives Burning Flag some variety to make them stand out from the crowd of crusty doomy political punk bands. Backing vocals punctuate the odd song here and there to good effect.

Heavy extended mid sections are almost songs in their own right without feeling incongruous. This shows a creative approach to songs reaching beyond simple verse, chorus, middle bit, and allows them to get away with a few songs beyond the magic 3 minute mark without sounding sluggish.

Matador explores themes of mysogyny, toxic masculinity and government corruption with some class war punk rock politics thrown in (Eat The Rich). Well chosen samples punctuate and accentuate the messages. Socio-political or personal-political, it’s rooted in relevance and anger at actual shit going on rather than bland theory. This is the power of political punk. It can make issues relevant that many on the left will turn into such bland sloganeering as to make you switch off. It’s a shame it has limited reach but bands like Burning Flag have the potential to appeal to a metal audience as well as punks. (...) (Nathan / Louder Than War)

DEKODER - Flowers To Blossom LP (DAMAGED SLEEVE)

DEKODER - Flowers To Blossom LP (DAMAGED SLEEVE)

“Flowers to Blossom” is DEKODER's second full lengh and an intelligent and earnest marriage of the personal themes of liberation evinced by such past bands as the Poison Girls and Rubella Ballet combined with the musical approach of groups like early Siouxsie and the Banshees, Red Scare, later Superheroines, and Legal Weapon. It’s a combo that works quite well.

DISCONFECT -...Less Future 12

DISCONFECT -...Less Future 12"col.

This album has been shelved for far too long. Released in 2022 on multicolored vinyl by the band. DISCONFECT originated from the Bremen (Germoney) punk scene with all members being involved in numerous other bands. ".​.​.​Less Future" has 10 tracks of furious and intense D-Beat Raw Punk with a bold punk-political attitude & message hollered by one gruff and one screaming vocalist. The guitars tune into a relentless chainsaw massacre. The drummer is a unstoppable d-beat machine going full throttle dismantling his drumkit song by song. I can't help it ... the singer somehow reminds me of the nineties MISFITS reunion... curious? You have to go see them live... or better, invite them!

CHAOTIC END - In Front Of Paranoia (Ltd.) LPcol.+MP3

A final limited repress of only 319 copies on Magenta & Black hazed vinyl! Comes with original artwork, insert and poster! CHAOTIC END formed in 1989 were the greek answer to AMEBIX and played a similar style of ultra heavy, atmofearic but shredding political crust and hardcorepunk.In my opinion they were one of the most convincing bands of that genre. This is their one and only vinyl-output they did in 1993 on Wipe Out Records.
