Quick updates!

LOOSERZ the blood forever runs tape, is being repress as I'm typing this. The reason for this repress is to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the album. 100 tapes will be made with 1 extra song that wasn't on the original tape. The tapes will be exclusively distribute by KEOTIK KULTURE Dist. Or you can get it thru us firstnoterecords@gmail.com

Also we're joining forces with Madafaka Records for BOUNCE BACK first ever proper release. Yup you guess it right, it will be on Cassette format. Bounce Back is a hard core punk band from Medan. Check out they're demo here: www.madafakarecords.com

Last but not least, and we are so fukkin sike about this. We're gonna press both EPs from VOLATILE SUBSTANCE as a single release on Firstnote Records. Who are they, you ask? Well I wouldn't to them justice if you expect me to write about them. Here a link of a review of one of their ep on Cvltnation.com

Written by Daniel Vandenberg
They definitely got “volatile” right. This latest offering from
Oakland, CA newcomers Volatile Substance – their second
since June – barely makes it past the five minute mark and
yet manages more caustic energy, aggression and balls-out
fury than the average hardcore band can muster up in four
times that length. Emergency Exit careens from a sludgy,
down-tempo opening that sounds like it’s constantly about
to fall in on itself, through some of the most frenetic, violent
hardcore that calls to mind the amphetamine aggression of
Youth Attack bands like Salvation and Charles Bronson,
building in intensity until it literally collapses into white
noise, the final repeating riff driving itself into your skull as
it is gradually consumed by cascading waves of distortion in
a borderline power electronics freakout. It’s a cliche that’s
been beaten to death, but Volatile Substance really do start
with everything at 10 and only turn it up from there, using
what most listeners would consider the absolute peak level
of intensity possible as their default ‘quiet’ mode, from
which they proceed to explode into realms of sonic violence
previously unheard of.
Jorge’s lyrics are suitably bleak and pissed off, although
you’ll never make them out, but that’s how we like it. His
final impassioned screams, as he and the rest of the band
are engulfed in absolute aural annihilation, sound like
exactly that – a man’s final dying screams, and it is moving,
chilling stuff.
Like the best volatile substances, Emergency Exit is fast,
furious and ends in complete destruction, and also like their
namesake, Volatile Substance leave you with an immediate
and burning need for more. You won’t even notice that this
release doesn’t even make the six minute mark because you
will have it on repeat, trust me.

Tell me you're not a bit intrigue by that review.

FINAL ATTACK upcoming 2nd full length

So, Final Attack is currently working on the printing for their 2nd full length album. The artwork was done by Congkak Culas, and they also change the title from "Abandoned Houses" to "Action Speaks Louder", As they say it was taken by what has been happening in the local scene, where most band are trying really REALLY hard to get vote for cheesy "underground award". And so on, there are 10 tracks of pissed off hard and heavy music, Heavy like a dinosaurs and hard like a boner! And in those 10 tracks there are 1 cover song from Negative Approach...be on the look out for what track it could be.

And as for you record collecting junkie! errr...local record collecting junkie.
To encourage people to actually buy more records rather than just downloading them, Congkak Culas is collaborating with the almighty Uncle G for the 2nd version of the cover, this second version will only be sold on the awesome bundle package deal. only 50 of them will be released, the package deal contains the "Length Of Time" EP, the "Action Speaks Louder" album, a t-shirt, stickers, posters and have i mentioned that the cover will be entirely different from the normal cover? yes it is, it will be entirely different. need me to say it again?

FINALLY AN UPDATE!!

Wow, didn't realize it was almost a year ago since I updated this blog. Forgive me for being such a lazy prick..haha nah the truth is so much was going in my personal life for the past year but I'm not going to bore you with that.

Shit where do I start? Hmm..this past year Firstnote records had co-released the not so new STRAIGHT ANSWER 'Whatever it takes' CD, sponsored few shows for touring bands and we're also gonna co-release the most anticipated first album from GRAVE DANCERS. The production is already in motion, you guys should be able to purchase the cd within a couple of weeks. Be on the look out. Ipul showed me the artwork the other day, I tell you should get the cd for the artwork alone if you're not that into Grave Dancers' music. Few touring dates are set and the launching show for the new cd will be happening early march. We're all pretty excited about this release.

In other news RAINCOAT will have a new CD out on TRUESIDE RECORDS. Or maybe I should say their first full length cd. It'll be out sometime in feb.

FINAL ATTACK is in the studio right now, recording for their new cd. One of the most productive band in jakarta is at it again real soon.
