Hello everybody, In this age of social networksites, it may sound refreshing to receive an oldskool newsletter in your mailbox. We have some info to share with all you people and in these times of social and economical disasters, it's good to have some nice music that can help you escape from or reflect about all things good and bad that infiltrate our daily life...anyway, here we go... 
RELEASES (out now!)THIS IS A STANDOFF 'be delighted' CDEP TIAS just finished their European tour in support of the release of the brandnew 'Be Delighted' CDep. On that new ep, you'll find the typical Tias elements, but all spiced up with an extra dose of intensity and agression in both music and production. A perfect soundtrack to get you through these dark autumn days! The CDEP has been selling really fast and until the end of this month, there's still an action running : The 3 TIAS releases for 15 euro + postage...an ideal way to have the entire discography for almost no money at all!!! 
MUTE 'Thunderblast' CDAnd we'll stay in Canada with the new album from riffmasters MUTE. It's easy to say that this is the best Mute album so far. Filled with catchy lines, great riffage and beautiful vocal- and guitarharmonies...if you don't know the band yet, you should surely catch up with this album and try to see them live as they are touring Europe at this very moment... The album is out now and for sale through funtime, kickass and every good recordstore!!! UPCOMING RELEASES SPRING 2012 HOMER 'the politics of make believe' CD Homer has been makin' waves in the punkrock/hardcore scene for quite some time already and the band is known for their energetic live performances which brings them to stages big and small. Their trademark sound, which incorpartes elements from punkrock, hardcore, metal and rock'n roll has proven to be a solid machine that brings both energy, passion and singalongs to enthousiast crowds everywhere. After 4 well received albums and an endless list of shows, the band is heading to the Motormusic studio to record their fifth album, called 'the politics of make believe' . The worldwide socio-economical crisis and the political atmosphere in their home country Belgium has inspired the band both musically and lyrically to write a dark album that is expected to turn out the hardest stuff they've released so far...typically Homer, but on the other hand different and challenging...The new album will see the light of day in march 2012 on both CD and LP formats (CD release party at JC De Klinker, Aarschot on the 10th of march with Musth, Arizona, Face the Fax, Off the Charts) But before the band enters the studio, there's a free try out show on the 26th of nov at JH de Klinker in Aarschot...If you want to follow the band on facebook, here's the link : https://www.facebook.com/pages/Homer/61991280856 oldskool : www.myspace.com/homer666 youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay3cPYZu0tU (groezrock show 2011) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUgpYQOvq_0 (funtime fest show 2010) GENERATION 84 'title tba' CD Generation 84 is a new band, although the members are all very experienced musicians.

This new album surely is their 'magnum opus' so far, containin' the best songs they've ever written. Think of the good old punkrock tradition combined with heartfelt melodies and some shots of classic rock. If you need references, bands like Dear Landlord, the Loved Ones or early Gaslight Anthem would be the perfect match! Nederlands Deze UK punkrockband bouwt al enkele jaren stevig aan de weg en heeft al verschillende Europese en Engelse tours op z'n actief staan. Daarbij deelde band geregeld het podium met de gevestigde waarden uit de scene. Het nieuwe album is zonder enige twijfel hun koninginnenstuk en bevat heerlijke punkrocksongs met het nodige hartzeer, een goede brok emoties en invloeden uit de grote Amerikaanse rocktraditie. Als je dan toch een referentiekader nodig hebt, denk dan aan bands als The Loved Ones, Dear Landlord of de Gaslight Anthem ('sink of swim' periode). OCTOPUSSY'S Face The World cat nr : fun.prod.2011.68.02 English This Vilvoorde/Mechelen based punkrockband has been causing waves in the Belgian scenes with enthousiast live sets and a neverending party spirit. Inspired by nineties skatepunk (both American and Swedish scene) they got together to play what they love the most...great melodies, fast rhythms, all caught in catchy songs! Recorded at Dé Studio in Asse by Dirk Miers (Homer , The Setup, Born From Pain, Janez Detd) and mastered at the Blasting room (usa). Nederlands Deze punkrockband uit de omgeving van Vilvoorde en Mechelen maakt al enkele jaren furore binnen de Belgische punkrockscene met z'n enthousiaste live sets en daarbijhorende 'feestvreugde'. Geïnpireerd door de Zweedse en Amerikaanse punkrockgolf in de jaren negentig, begonnen ze songs te schrijven die gekenmerkt worden door snelle ritmes, gouden melodieën en refreinen die in je hoofd blijven spoken. Het debuutalbum 'Face the World' werd opgenomen in Dé Studio in Asse met producer Dirk Miers (Homer, The Setup, Born From Pain) en gemastered in de welbekende Blasting Room studio in de VS. Voor fans van bands als : No Use For A Name, Satanic Surfers, Ten Foot Pole, Rufio... CHECK THE NEW VIDEOCLIP for TONIGHT over here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LivBfGedKw&feature=youtu.be  BREAK OF DAY ILLUSIONS BURN cat nr. : fun.prod.2011.69.03 English 'Illusions burn' is the follow up album to the well received debut 'the hangman's fracture'. Hailin' from the wellknown punkrock scene in and around Aarschot (Homer, Five Days off, Sixtoys, The Rocket), Break of Day is known for it's combination of fast melodic punkrock and heavy breaks and screams, fueled by political and inspired lyrics. The same ingredients you'll get with this new album, although the heavy parts sounds even heavier and the melodies sweeter than ever. Recorded at Dé Studio in Asse and mastered at the Blasting Room...for fans of Comeback Kid, Rise Against, Strike Anywhere, Boysetsfire... Nederlands 'Illusions burn' is het tweede album van Break of Day. Met als thuishaven het punkrockmekka van België, de regio rond Aarschot (Homer, Five Days off, Sixtoys, The Rocket) weet je wat er op het menu staat. Een kwalitatieve mix van snelle melodieuze punkrock en harde breaks en screams, dit alles geflankeerd door maatschappelijk en politiek geïnspireerde teksten. Diezelfde ingrediënten zijn ook aanwezig op dit nieuwe album en het contrast is soms zelfs nog wat groter. 'Illusions burn' werd opgenomen in de kwaliteitsstudio Dé Studio in Asse met producer Dirk Miers achter de knoppen en gemastered in de ook van Fat Wreck producties bekende Blasting Room studio (VS) Fans van bands als Strike Anwyhere, Comeback Kid, Boy Sets Fire gaan dit zeker lusten!  ARIZONA POPCORN & CINEMAGIC cat.nr. : fun.prod.2011.70.04 English This band arose out of the ashes of the wellknown poppunk band Exit on the Left. With some extra members from bands like Second Base and an English kid behind the microphone, the band soon started giggin'. Musicwise, Arizona mixes influences from poppunk with posthardcore and emo, which means the band sounds very mature and convincing. Think of bands like Anberlin, Jimmy Eat World, A Day to Remember and the likes. 'Popcorn & Cinemagic' refers to the great blockbuster classics in the movieworld and all songs have a reference to a movie classic. This album was recorded at Dé Studio and mastered at Westwestside Music (USA). Nederlands Deze band ontstond na het uiteenvallen van de bekende Belgische poppunkband Exit on the Left. Een in België wonende Engelse punkrockkid vervoegde de band op zang en Arizona had al snel een aardig songrepertoire bij elkaar geschreven. Hun op Amerikaanse leest geschoeide mix van poppunk; post hardcore en emo klinkt erg volwassen en refereert naar bands als Anberlin, Jimmy Eat world of A Day to Remember. Het debuut album 'popcorn & cinemagic' verwijst naar de grote filmkaskrakers en ook elk nummer refereert naar een filmklassieker. Het album werd opgenomen in Dé Studio en gemastered in Westwestside music in de VS. 3.UPCOMING RELEASE PARTIES THE OCTOPUSSYS debut full-cd release show: FACE THE WORLD 14 MEI 2011 JH Tramalant - Zemst 18:30 The Noodles - Local young guys playing some poppunk tunes 19:15 2nd - Local nice guys playing punkrock http://www.myspace.com/2ndmusic 20:10 Break Of Day - Melodic Hardcore http://www.myspace.com/breakofdaymusic 21:15 The Ignored - Progressive punkrock http://www.myspace.com/ignoredmusic 22.25 THE OCTOPUSSYS - Melodic Punkrock http://www.myspace.com/theoctopussys ** AFTERPARTY** Damage: 5€ Doors:18.00 adres: Stationlaan 61 - 1980 Zemst GRATIS VAT rond 20.50!
