 MDC / The Elected Officials "Mein Trumpf" Split-7“ £5.00
 MDC (Millions of Dead Cops), the indestructible US-polit-hardcore-punk-institution with the next big thing. After the split-EP with Iron, a new album and the re-release of their 80s classic debut "Millions of dead cops" now an EP with their partners in crime The Elected Officials. MDC with the 5-minute punch "Mein Trumpf" about the current political situation in the US, characterized by voice and lyrics of Dave Dictor. Musically more in the midtempo area, the flipside with Elected Officials is rather settled in the classic straight punk rock. Melodic, noisy and with very good polyphonic vocals. The EP comes with fold-out-cover including lyrics and downloadcode



Oigenz "Neues Jahrhundert altes Problem" LP £10.00
Re-release of the legendary debut-album of the antifascist Oi!-Punk-band Oigenz. Found in the late 1990s in the area around Stuttgart, in 2000 the band released this debut-album on their own label in a small printing. The LP was sold out in weeks and never got repressed. The band found the "Antifascist rock action Stuttgart" and played their final gig on an early AFRA-festival in 2001. Oigenz played fast, uncompromising and rough melodic Oi!, punkrock and streetpunk with catchy songs, great choruses and youthful charm. "Neues Jahrhundert" includes 11 own songs and the Violadores cover "Uno, Dos, Ultraviolento". After splitting up some of the band-members founded the band Guerilla, which released four albums and got really popular for their straight forward and radical shows. "Neues Jahrhundert" was recorded in the studio of Wally Walldorf from German punk legend Toxoplasma and comes with a thick 350g cover, complete new artwork, innersleeve and downloadcode



Hass "Gebt der Meute was sie braucht" LP + 7“ £12.00
 One of the best and most popular German punk bands with a reissue of their all-time-classic-album “Gebt der Meute was sie braucht”. For the first time in more than a decade back on vinyl with the "4 Track EP" from 1988 as a bonus-7". Founded in 1978, Hass was one of the most important and influential Deutschpunk-bands. Together with Slime and Toxoplasma they were the style icons for a whole genre, their debut-album “Hass allein genügt nicht mehr” is a legendary album in German punk history. “Gebt der Meute was sie braucht” was the third album, originally released in 1990 on the band`s own label Hass Produktionen and was sold out on vinyl for more than 10 years. With this album Hass made a stand against the nationalism in Germany after the German reunification, against nazis, hooligans and the whole establishment. Great punkrock-songs with a exceptionally voice and sing-a-long choruses. Authentic, direct, with a lot of anger and rage and much more punkrock than the later releases of the band. “Gebt der Meute was sie braucht” has hits like "Keine Chance", "Wie Alkohol" und “Lizenz zum Töten” and is a good reasons why Hass were such a classic band. The re-release is limited to 1000 copies and comes in a wonderful gatefold-cover with all lyrics, including the complete “Gebt der Meute was sie braucht”-LP (14 songs, 1990) and the “4-Track-EP” as a bonus-7” (4 songs, 1988).





Sluts "Bäh!!!" £10.00
 Reissue of this legendary German punk classic from 1982. First and only LP of Sluts from Braunschweig, originally released on Aggressive Rockproduktionen, repressed 1990 via Blasting Youth Records and sold out since the early 90s. Additional for the first time ever on CD. Sluts were part of the first wave of German punk bands, some of the members started 1979 as "Bombed Bodies". In 1980 there was a lineup change and thenceforth they performed as Sluts. After recording some songs for the "Soundtracks zum Untergang"-compilation they did "Bäh!!!" as their first album and split up some months after the LP-release. "Bäh!!!" is an absolutely typical album for Deutschpunk in this time, midtempo songs with great melodies and choruses and simple, short lyrics between politics, lifestlyle and daily boredom. Remastered from the original tapes, CD comes as a 6-page-digipack, LP with 350g cover, text inlay and downloadcode.
