Finally we can present you music from our new album “ENGAGE!”. And as a bonus you can now pre-order our new album!

“Racist Rash” is the first single from “ENGAGE!” and it seems like a good first representation since there’s quite a few faster songs on the album. The song clearly deals with the racism that is still omnipresent in our culture, sports, traditions, policies, etc. The song clearly deals with the racism that is still omnipresent in our culture, sports, traditions, policies, etc. These days a Dutch celebrity (Sylvana Simons) gets heavily attacked because of her skin color and her anti-racist criticism. These days a “normal” European country like Austria might elect an extreme right President. Racism is not an opinion or an ideology, it’s a crime to be convicted or a disease to be cured at best.

The video was shot (at the famous “Onderbroek”), directed and edited by Harko Wubs, a political film and documentary director and producer, who is active in the field of migration, refugee and border issues.

“Antillecu-Ale beer” is a limited edition beer by breweries Katjelam and De Gifbeker in celebration of our new album.

Record Store Day, it started as a cool initiative to support local record stores, but is turning into another toy for the record industry. When was the last time you got a punk album from a physical record store anyway? Therefor we present: “WEB STORE DAY 2016”!

A good record deal without leaving the house: this month you can pre-order a web-store-exclusive deal that gets delivered to you on Web/Record Store Day.
What: all 4 our full length albums + shirt of choice for 35 euro (as CDs) or 40 euro (as LPs).
When: order between March 16 – April 16, delivery April 16
Where: on this very site.

But wait, there’s more! Or actually, less … we only have a handful of the last pressing of gatefold LPs and digipack CDs of “START FROM SCRATCH!” available, so you can choose between the original gatefold LP or digipack CD, or the new pressing as singlefold LP or jewelcase CD.

Shopping tips:
+ Send a package as a gift.
+ In case you already have one or more of our albums: give double copies to a friend.
