Oops we did it again … We’re #34 in the Dutch music export report 2013 by Buma Cultuur, including honorable mention! Dutch newspaper NRC wrote this about it (and linked one of our very first tour reports). Sorry, Dutch content.
Others rated in the report (what a company!): Tiësto, Jacco Gardner, Hardwell, Armin van Buuren, Tim Vantol, No Turning Back, The Partysquad, Dope D.O.D. and many others …
2014 was a good year for us, and hopefully for you too! We had the best of times touring with Ten Foot Pole, going to Mallorca for the first time and returning to Spain and Portugal since long; releasing a split 7” with Anti-Flag; doing shows with Bodyjar, Jimmy Eat World, Authority Zero; releasing a music video for Pink Print; playing Festivals like Jera on Air; winning the Peta2 Liberation Award as “Bester peta2 Newcomer”; playing our hometown more than we usually do; our van reaching 600.000 KMs and Riekus getting his driver’s license.
Thanks to everyone who made 2014 awesome!
2015 will be just as good, if not better! We are working on some fun trips for the spring and beyond. And even more important: we are preparing a new album, to be recorded and released in 2015.
Thanks in advance to everyone who will help us make 2015 a blast. See you on the other side!
Because, even though the fights against these wrongs are long-running, they are worth fighting. These fights will eventually lead to a better world and a better life for those inhabiting it.
Because police brutality never gets old to those facing it in Ferguson and NYC.
Because sexism never gets old when people like Julien Blanc teach us how to treat women.
Because racism never gets old when offensive traditions are kept alive, solely for the sake of tradition.
Because animal rights never get old when millions of animals are being threatened with bird flu infection or pre-emptive killing.
Because, unfortunately, classic themes never get old …

And the last addition is going to be a nice one: playing with John Coffey and The 101’s in our beloved De Onderbroek in Nijmegen (NL) on December 18!

Since more and more people listen to music through Youtube we decided to upload all our music over there. The other albums were already available and with the addition of “Silencing Civilization” our album discography is complete. Enjoy, and don’t forget to subscribe to our channel to see new videos first!
Silencing Civilization is our debut album, our first professional recording, with the legendary Menno Bakker at the Bunt studio. Mastering was done by Alan Douches from West West Side Studios. It was initially released as a CD-digipack in 2005 by Angry Youth Records, features guest vocals by our friend Wick from Bambix and got us attention in our own country and offered us our first shows abroad. This is the album people probably refer to when saying: “I really only loved their first shit”.
When this first run sold out the friendly people at Shield Recordings did a re-release in 2008. This re-mastered version by Nico van Montfort is released as a jewelcase CD-version and VINYL! Both formats are still available at our web store. This re-mastered version is now uploaded to Youtube.
*Fun fact* We’re currently working on an album scheduled to record and release in 2015. Ten years after working on the album, we’re now working on a new song tentatively titled “Silencing Civilization”.
