Hell yes! After a release in Europe through six labels, a USA release through Jump Start Records we are now proud and anxious to announce a Japanese release of Testimony through Fast Life Records! The record will be out in March and will contain some special bonus material. Check their myspace for information on Fast Life Records and the release (their blog if you understand any Japanese … but doesn't it look awesome?). We can't wait to get a copy of these.

If you happen to be from Brasil or understand Portugese, check out this item on MTV Brasil (scroll down a bit). And if anyone could tell us what they are saying we'd be pleased to know!

Since we want to get rid of some stock of old samplers you now get one for free with any merch order over 5 euro. So if you had doubts, this might make up your mind? Or maybe even more reason not to do it?

Since we try to penetrate all social networks around, Riekus created a Twitter account to which you can subscribe yourself if you want. And why not. We also started a Facebook account. But haven't done much to it yet. Again, feel free to drop by, subscribe, and perhaps even give us any tips on how to get that thing proper looking. Since it doesn't right now.

And last but not least is an interview in the UK fanzine Last hours with Yvo and Riekus. A video interview! Thanks to our friend Tom! Please check out Last Hours for sure, one of the best European zines around. For now.

So we're back from one tour, and have announced the next one as well. A lot is happening over here. And to keep you up to date as much as possible we'll try to update this site a little more often. Feel free to comment on stuff we're posting. "Communication is what it's all about" sing two major bands, so let's do it.

First of all, if you happen to have/find reviews, pictures, videos, whatever from our USA tour, please send them or a link to us. We like to keep track and collect a lot of souvenirs this way. A written tour report and the last episode of the tour video report are to come.

For the Americans that are looking for ways to order our merch cheaper than from us (shipping costs and stuff) check out Jump Start Records for the Testimony LP. For the CD/LP of Silencing Civilization and the Testimony CD get in touch with Square of Opposition Records. He is more up to date with his email than with his website. Don't you worry. Square of Opposition also has some left over T-shirts from our USA tour up for sale. Soon they will be for sale through this website too. About that; we sold out some old shirt designs and updated this on the merch section. The remastered Silencing Civilization CDs and LPs are available for ordering.

We also found some new reviews of Testimony in German at Waste of Mind fanzine and Blueprint Fanzine, in English in Can You See the Sunset, Punktastic. On top of that the German zine Ox did an interview with us. You can find the online version here. Soon there will be an interview on ipunk.cz and Last Hours. As if we wouldn't let you know.

Phil from Black Numbers Records (Static Radio, Purpose, Rock,star) asked us if we would like to participate in a Kid Dynamite tribute "Carry the torch" they are releasing together with Copper Lung Records and Get Outta Town Records. And of course, we're honoured. There's a list of already confirmed other bands which is quite exciting. So next weekend we'll be recording Kid Dynamite's "Wrist rocket" and perhaps some demos for our own new songs. If there's enough time though.

For now we hope to see you at the Speak Out Fest which can't go wrong with a line up like this: Smoke or Fire, Fake Problems, Tenement Kids, Brat Pack, Rush 'n Attack, Omission, Brito.

Tomorrow morning we'll fly out to the USA to do a East Coast tour for the third time. Excitement is an understatement. Awesome people and shows will be awaiting us. So far we will be playing The Fest VII with an insane amount of awesome bands (250+) and club shows with A Wilhelm Scream and Bridge and Tunnel among many more. Keep an eye on this site for updates and reports.We bring a video camera so expect some video footage every now and then too. For this tour we have a new shirt design that will only availabel on the USA shows, so make sure to stop by. We'll also bring the new LP's and CD's of Silencing Civilization Shield Recodrings re-released.

Besides the USA tour we have some new shows and tours lined up on the shows page. Check out if we come anywhere near you, and if not maybe you can help us out to do so?

More and more tour dates are being confirmed for both the European part and the USA part of our second Transatlantic tour. Unfortunately, for the European part in September there's still 3 dates to be filled in. If you can help us out with ANYTHING, we'd be extremely thankful for that. If you're curious for Jena Berlin, which you should be, go here to stream their album, Quo Vadimus. We're all really excited to go on a tour that is a little longer again.

And for that tour we'll be bringing the new merchandise Riekus announced yesterday. You can of course also order through this site.

Speaking of digital availability, you can from now download our album "Testimony" through services like I-Tunes, download punk and the like. Fond of Life Records released our album through European download stores, so feel free to check it out. The USA release date of the download will be September 23. Unfortunately the LP release of the record might get some delay because of problems at the pressing plant. We'll keep you updated.

Furthermore we're busy writing and practising new songs. Just to let you know.

Last but not least, thanks to all of you who came to or commented on the Propagandhi show in Temse, Belgium, to join us in our idolization towards Propagandhi. We know, that's not punk. We never claimed to be though, or did we? Hope to see you all soon.

Just a short one this time to let you know we just got some new merch in today. To keep all you kids warm for the oncoming winter we have some new zippers, hoodies and, well.. shirts and girlies as well. We actually already had these shirts earlier on, but we decided to print them on girlies and hoodies as well, and have a nice extra front-print on the zippers.

This here is the main print:

and this here is the extra front-print on the zippers:

If you're feeling warm, try our new, refreshing shirts
If you're feeling cold, come on and head over to our cosy, warm merch section

Oh, and we still have some leftovers of our previous designs. Most of them are still available in just one size. Like it? Make sure to be quick. We're running out of stock
