is supposed to come out on Skuld Releases. The CD version and all
old stuff will be re-released soon on Rodent Pop Sicle Records from the
USA. March will have
an European tour with THE DRUG DEALERS from Saint-Brieuc/France.
MAKILADORAS
recorded and mixed 8 new songs in the Kuschelrock Studio in Bremen for a
new LP/CD. This will be a thematic record about Genetic Technology and
will be a co-release between 10-15 labels. The CD will be released by Too
Circle from Japan. Hopefully out in may. Upcoming months will see some
promotional touring with RADIO BIKINI regarding the recently released
split 7" EP, and a 2 week French/Spanish tour.
INSTIL just returned
from a tour from Denmark and Sweden. Their latest CD release "Fire
Reflects In Ashes" gets alot of media attention.
THE LAST MILE
will go into the studio soon to record for a new LP.
NOBBY NOXIOUS
AND THE IMPREGNATORS recorded songs for a first release. Think catchy
punkrock with ex-MOONLIZARDS drummer, FLEAS AND LICE guitarplayer and
ex-FREE RANGE TIMEBOMB guitarplayer.
THE KICKERS is a
relatively new punkrockband and plays with alot of enthusiasm and
conviction. They do pretty well in the mainstream/commercial scene.
THE ARCHITECT is a new band of Daniel (THE LAST MILE drummer), Wouter
(ex-REVOLT bass), Joop and Rene (both INSTIL) and are pretty technical
metalhardcore with emphasis on Goteburg Metal.
BURN THE ELITE
changed bassplayer.
MINDFOK is still struggling to release the latest recordings.
GRINDING HALT has replaced the drummer. Now Hanz/ILL11 is taking over that
part. They play about 4 gigs a year.
IRON CAGE is a new
band with Ferry DANDARE/LADS and Rene/THE LAST MILE, and describe
themselves as emocore.
Others:
JOBCRUSHER from Zwolle have a new website at:
http://pindakaasschaaf.mentalwreckage.com/JOB and will go into the
studio soon.
ANIMOSITY from the mideast plays sloppy trashcore. I believe they have
a demotape.

and are going to record in the famous Bunt's studio in May together with
NUESTROS
DERECHOS.

GEWAPEND BETON from Amsterdam are embryopunx playing great catchy
punkcore.
SEEIN'RED from Amersfoort wil tour Japan in March 2005.
GILGAMESH has members from POINT OF FEW and BETERCORE and can
best be described as screamo.
GASCOIGNE has
members from GILGAMESH (gtr), PROPAGATOR (gtr), PAYROLL (bass) and BURN
THE ELITE (drums)
and play youthcrew?!
DARKWATERSCAM
is another new band and more metal. Like Slayer on 16 rpm. Has members
from INSTIL (gtr and vocs), and GILGAMESH (gtr). They have just added the
MAKILADORAS guitarplayer on drums.
Alkmaar area news:

CHILDREN OF GOD

German tour with LOWER CLASS BRATS.

a break coz their drummer has some problems with his arm. Hope they will

hopefully be out next month. Will be recording for a full length in April.
They'll be touring the USA together with SEEIN'RED in July. Drummer Rogier
now also plays in SANGRE, who already recorded for a 10".

Thale from THE BARNHOUSE EFFECT.
