EWA BRAUN "Esion" 2XLP reissue
20 years after the release of this noise / post punk album we are happy to reissue it on vinyl. Lungfish, Sonic Youth, Fugazi influences are obvious - not much of Big Blackish feel present on their previous album (Love Peace Noise) and demos. Passionate lyrics touching important topics ("ML King", "Nuclear powerplant") and personal themes ("Escape") plus some - revolutionary at that time - instumental tracks!
Hard to imagine this band parted the record with the most important anarcho punk outfit in this country back in their time (Ewa braun / Guernica Y Luno split 7"EP), those who remember had a chance to see them at the punkiest venues of 90s diy scene in East Europe.
Double LP in a gatefold sleeve contains two black vinyl discs. Limited version - on 180gr vinyl has slightly different cover. Not more than 2 copies per order please.
Should be ready to ship the last week of January.
Both - CD and CASSETTE versions are still available.
For now:

MEINHOF "Endless War" LP / CD
Surprise. Or not? After 2 albums of the band's alter ego - UNFIXED, they have just recorded a new (their 5th!!!) set of harder / harsher / heavier tracks. I keep listening to it for the last few days and it seems that they don't loose the anger over the years.
Rosy keeps screaming her anger about the unjust world backed up by the excellent wall of crusty and catchy noise.
NNNW and Deviance join forces to releases this album - the CD packed in cardboard ecopack.
Regular black vinyl packed in a gatefold sleeve with black and gold print, foil covered, a Meinhof card included.
Limited version (1 copy per order available) comes in almost white minimalist cover with extra screen printed image (not seen on the photos, sort of special optical effect...). Find some pictures at the webshop links above.
There are also black male and female shirts + a limited number of dark grey t-shirts - all with gold print.
Limited amount of Russian release of the new Meinhof album now available.

EWA BRAUN "Love Peace Noise" CD
They were the most noticable noise / post punk act of the 1990s. At the same time some of the members were at the most important anarcho punk band of the decade - GUERNICA Y LUNO. We'll make their debut album available again.
Their early demos were compared to Big Black-ish noise, later they incorporated more of Lungfish / Fugazi 90s Dischord sound with psychedelic parts and a healthy doze of Sonic Youth influences.
You can listen to From Here To Eternity from this album.
STARZY SIDA CD

STARZY SIDA (Sid’s Old Folks) was a one time project band. Patyczak is a punk singer who has been playing his 3-chord ‘77 styled chants during countless demos, festivals, squat events or just randomly on the street since early 1990s (and still active today as BRUDNE DZIECI SIDA - Dirty Sid’s Kids). He joined forces with Starzy Singers - Warsaw punk combo exploring wide musical teritories for a decade at the turn of the century and they recorded electric versions of his anthems.
That’s classic early punk sound, citing Sex Pistols and The Boys, played with a swing, rage and power.
We wanted to release a vinyl version for ages, now it’s time to make it available on CD again as well.
Vinyl version available in March 2014.
TROTTEL ”The Final Salute In The Name Of Human Misery” CD
Re-release of the early (1991) album from one of the oldest Hungarian bands - still in their punk years. This is what happened when you leaved behind the iron curtain, listened to too much Subhumans and made it feel like Hungarian melancholy took over. Long, long poetic stories of trapped individuals sung in English, mainly female vocals, strong musicianship.That was their trademark at the time.
This record was released with (almost) original line up, during their most intense touring (all over Europe) schedule. Beautiful documentary of the time that passed away.
Some new stuff appeared in the shop, including 2014 calendars, diaries (all of them benefit some good causes), THE MOB 7"EP and more...
And we've just launched a bandcamp profile. A selection of releases available for stream and (sometimes) download. More should appear soon.
DRIP OF LIES "Failure" CD / LP

The first Polish punk band to release the vinyl LP outside of the commercial and state owned music companies! As they started to play again in the summer of 2011, 3 original members + a drummer and a guitarist from WILCZY SZANIEC, we decided to make all their releases available again. They played some live shows with this line-up and the feedback is amazing. Outstanding and unique band, that seems to see no intention in eating its own tail. Their live set contains a lot of new tracks!
Intense hard core energy and very specific lyrics - poetical, but still hard hitting.
Regular vinyl + limited version on 180gr wax with a slightly different cover.

UNFIXED ”Punk Chaos Disorder” CD / LP
LP limited (clear) € 11.25
CD € 6.25
t-shirt € 9.00
Unfixed is an alter-ego of a London based international punk trio - MEINHOF. The same line up, but the music is less crusty, more 80s UK punk infuenced. This is a set of sharp catchy punk shrapnels sung by a singer / bass player with a usual passion of the volcano giving its end to rotten Pompei world... A bit surprising when you see the lady in charge on stage - don't miss them live! Check: http://meinhofband.com/unfixed-shows/
You can see a video clip promoting the album here:

The quality of this material is amazing – and that owes a lot to their experiences as musicians of THE FIGHT, VITAMIN X, KNIFE IN THE LEG, SIX PACK, GAS CHAMBER MELODIES, BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, THE BLACK TAPES, BURST IN, DAYMARES and SUNRISE.

THE FIGHT / REPRESION 7”EP
INKWIZYCJA "Slowo" (A word) 7”EP (blue or black vinyl)
blue 7"EP € 4.30
INKWIZYCJA "Stare fotografie" (Old Photos) CD / CASS
CASS € 3.00
The first Polish punk band to release the vinyl LP outside of the commercial and state owned music companies! As they started to play again in the summer of 2011, 3 original members + a drummer and a guitarist from WILCZY SZANIEC, we decided to make all their releases available again. They played some live shows with this line-up and the feedback is amazing. Outstanding and unique band, that seems to see no intention in eating its own tail. Their live set contains a lot of new tracks!
They were the first band we released in 1991. Intense hard core energy and very specific lyrics - poetical, but still hard hitting.
The first d.i.y. record ever released in Poland was an LP by a band from Krakow - INKWIZYCJA (and that was also the first "proper" NNNW release). They were one of the biggest bands in late 80's / early 90's when the d.i.y. scene was forming in Poland.
They played close to 400 gigs at the time, mainly Poland, but also Austria, Czech, their Italian tour was cancelled last minute...
They never stopped to play, but had to change line up some times. From mid-90s the line up remains the same. They've recorded some songs in '85 in Gold Rock Studio (run by Armia guitarist Robert Brylewski). Then, in '97 they recorded another 5 songs, that were released a year later as 7"EP "Slowo" (The word"). In 2000 NNNW released cassette "Slowo i archiwalia" ("The word and archive") including 7" tracks, 2 cuts from Gold Rock session and another 2 taken from the very first demo the band released themselves even before the LP. Another side of the tape contains the band's singer's poetry set (he used to have live shows for some years, published a couple of volumes himself) with some strange sampled music backgrounds. It's important to note, that the band's lyrics and singer's poetry made them icons of the anti-religious punk scene. One of their concerts was banned by local bishop who got mad seeing posters for INKWIZYCJA and AMEN concert in his town.
In 2001 the band recorded another album - "Stare fotografie" ("Old photos") and soon found itself in hiatus for some years.
2011 line-up adds some fresh blood, manic drumming and more guitar noise.
OI POLLOI / APPALACHIAN TERROR UNIT 7”EP
red 7"EP € 4.30
Anarcho punk classy stuff. Scottish Oi Polloi delivers tracks in Gaelic, Finnish (!) and English (for a change). ATU tracks boil with energy. Gatefold poster / insert with lyrics and comments included.
COMPLICITE CANDIDE "Rad potvrzuje chyba / Order is confirmed by error" LP / CD
CD € 6.40
The fourth album of Czech masters of clever, thought provoking, raging and somewhat classic hard core punk. Think Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, DOA. Fresh! Inspiring! Driving! Vital!
Here's what they write about themselves:
Czech CO-CA (Complicite Candide) are here for something around 15 years. They are from Roznov-Vrah-city in the east coast of Czech republic. They are Vrahs. Punk rock, free minds, own attitudes. There are trademarks of this battleship. LP was recorded in 2003. May be is better sit down, listen to this LP and think about the things are spoken in songs, and then speak about it, than describe it.Hard run continues.
MEINHOF "Mother" master is ready. 2 tracks can be heard on their profile.
FROM THE DEPTHS / NEXT VICTIM
CD € 6.40
The 3rd single by this warsaw 80-s hard core tribute project. Includes 5 new GF tracks (listen to some in our player) and covers of the classics by VOID, NECROS, ANTIDOTE, JERRY'S KIDS.
Yellow t-shirts with the cover design (by Wechter) available too.

My favourite "late" album by Czech post-punk crew. Originally released in 1999, now available on vinyl for the first time. If you like Dog Faced Hermans, The Ex, De Kift, Residents, late Submission Hold, Guts Pie Earshot - then it's for you. If you don't, maybe you want to imagine yourself in a middle of a punky fairytale told in Czech pub by fellow souls?
This album was mixed by Dan Rathbun at Polymorph - and is completely not similar to Tragedy or His Hero Is Gone stuff he made... But still great sounding, with all the brass instruments accompanying the usual Czech magic rhythm machine...
As always - artwork made by the non-playing memeber of the band - Martin Velisek.
UJD tour Europe and USA on regular basis, they toured Japan and Australia during recent years.
The first 50 orders get an extra poster with album artwork.

v/a “Silesia Hardcore Omnibus vol.1” 7”EP
In January we silently non-celebrated 20th anniversary of the label. Yes. We picked up the first independent vinyl LP in Poland (ever!) from the pressing plant on the day US troops attacked Iraq. Easy to remember for anti-war allies everywhere.
The LP was by Polish band INKWIZYCJA and is long gone. We'll try to re-release it this year.

CAST IN IRON "I-X" LP / CD
The summer heat of 2010 made some Warsaw dudes, who have been pretty much experienced in playing hardcore, metal and punk, decide to team up together to create a musical hybrid that by any means couldn’t be called a summer vacation soundtrack. Past and present members of a few Warsaw bands (Government Flu, Drip of Lies, Daymares, Coalition, Sunrise, Born Anew to name a few) wrote really sinister, angry and filthy tunes, inspired by the darkest and the most furious songwriting of last decades (from Born Against and Rorschach, through
Entombed and Neurosis, to Cursed and Converge). Bitterness and frustration helped to spawn a full length made of 9 (well, rather IX) songs – some of them are slow and heavy, some of them are raging fast. In the very same hot summer the songs were recorded in their homebase
Warsaw and Nikt Nic Nie Wie got interested in putting them out soon after that (both in vinyl and CD format). To support the upcoming debut, Cast In Iron will hit the road anytime soon, gigging throughout Poland and beyond.
A BIRTHDAY PARTY BAND "Lead Sky" CD
2 bonus tracks (not included on vinyl release).
FAMILY MAN CD
Both albums by those crazy Berliners on one CD. Passion and fury driven "archaic" hardcore. Black Flag and Los Crudos are the hints here, but their music is much more varied - they seem to have listened to a lot of good stuff over the years. And they are an incredible live act! Asian tour planned for summer 2011. Watch out!
Their own words:
"FAMILY MAN have been formed after I listened to a lot of post-My War Black Flag and wondered why there are no bands playing the slower and heavier brand of hardcore punk. We had just split up with my former band ALLIANCE, and I had moved to Glasgow where I started ATOMGEVITTER. Then I moved back to Berlin and asked Machine (the bassist in ALLIANCE) to start a new band. Michael Lampert joined in on drums and Harald von der Hasenheide was recruited for bass. Originally I wanted to sing like Rollins but sounded more like Martin from LOS CRUDOS, so I was nicknamed Henry Crudos by my friend Tommy. We didn't want to repeat mistakes we did in former bands, such as dragging out the time before the first gig or the first tour, so we quickly played a first gig (with THE FIGHT), and a second one in Berlin, then went straight on tour in the UK. From then on it was as much touring as possible. We recorded our first album at the practice room, mixed it ourselves and off we went. For the second LP we wanted to save time and have better sound, so we went to Robin from THE NOW-DENIAL, who's a genius. It took me some time to get accustomed to singing without a guitar round my neck. But there ya go...
We really enjoy playing together, and just hanging out with each other. The band's an amalgamation of influences and ideas about punk rock, and we departed from the Black Flag idea early on, but I think we created our own style. I hope it's interesting music and inspiring lyrics. I don't like to play boring rip-off shit, or listen to it."

MEINHOF "Under The Burning Sky Of Future Events"
10"LP € 8.00
"We all live in London, but we are not an English band anyways. And maybe our name, MEINHOF gives some suggestion, that we come from Germany… We are just the international threat.
There are some doubts about or name, that comes from a German activist, Urlike Meinhof… We do not support Rote Armee Fraktion, as we do not support killing people in the name of any political or religious slogans… Our name, MEINHOF is just the name of band… We believe our music and message is pretty aggressive, then MEINHOF as the name fits well to our style… but again it doesn’t mean, that we are Urlike Meinhof’s fans. Our music has evolved from digital hardcore to punk sounds, and we do not call it by development. We are just coming back to our roots… In the late 90’s, anarcho punk scene seemed to be in decline worldwide and all the revolutionary flames seemed to be burn out…
We were looking for something fresh, that could pump a bit of blood into the veins of the dead body. We went into underground electronic, but then we have realised, that people who take part in that scene are not the same revolutionary as their revolutionary, noisy and angry music. Those people say a lot about revolution and blah, blah, blah… Miserable!
Anarcho punk scene constantly grows stronger and then declines… and the story repeats. Though punk is always a kind of real threat to the system, and this makes us loyal to punk, not underground electronic."

European pressing of the split originally put out by Inimical Records. The cover, inlay and vinyl colours vary from the original in details. And the mastering of the vinyl is less distorted.
Knife... is Polish combo going for some years, with numerous releases out. Their music is a tribute to early 80s hardcore sound with a modern sound linked mainly to Swedish or US bands these days. Clever lyrics are far from the schemes and even may provoke some thoughts!

PANACEA "Humanity is
heading for nowhere" CD
This band's debut LP was published by Sadness Of Noise, now we finally puit out the CD version. Being compared to Madame Germne, Ekkaia and French screamo stuff may give ou a hint, but check yourself that they shall need no comparisions - MRR stuff got excited already:
"This Polish band incorporates TRAGEDY / HIS HERO IS GONE-style low-end plunging and modern new-school hardcore elements--stop 'n' start from slow pace into full-throttle speed to quiet interludes. It's all delivered with precision and is somewhat similar to BURST with darker, crusty-tinged overtones from the distortion-laden tooth of the recording. Hoarsely spewed vocals with bleak lyrics in English underline the dark overtones of guitar work that drives the songs, progressively leading through long, multi-part compositions, while the transitions from fast blasting to expansive low-end plodding to quiet emo-ish melodic interludes serve the dark, poetic, personal lyrics. Layout is similar to a CREATION IS CRUCIFIXION record--computerized fonts at angles in a minimal grayscale composition. Solid. (KS)" (Maximumrocknroll #311)

IL-62 "Opuszczamy Babilon" CD
"Leaning heavily on the Polish bent towards the avantgarde, long-running Warsaw band IL-62's first CD-twenty years in the making!-has the same kind of moody, dark, layered soundscapes as, say, KRYZYS or P.C.S.D., but takes things in a tad more trippy direction with trance music influences, a rapid-fire neo-rapping quality to the vocals, bongos, sitars, digeridoo, and...wait ...don't leave... it's cool! Seriously! You either love the wild left-field experimentation of the Polish Punk scene ...or are just baffled by it. There's neat poetic and political lyrics shouted out by raspy vocals with some superb moments but less of a hardcore or brutal edge and more cacophony to the music overall, which makes for a mixed, meandering journey opposed to a concise impact. However, it's a fun place to wander around in for almost an hour, as the fourteen tracks walk on the long side. For the adventurous, see you there!"

ODSZUKAC LISTOPAD "The Masque Of Slight Discretion" CD
Screamo mit derbstem ZAO-Geröchel, Hardcore-Stakkato, melodisher Zweitstimme und Glockenläuten on top. Hier sind Perfektionisten am Werk, denn was die fünf Polen musikalisch umsetzen, wird auch vom Artwork aufgegriffen und so liegt dem Digipak ein schön gestaltetes Booklet mit tollen Illustrationen bei. CHIODOS und FEAR BEFORE THE MARCH OF FLAMES wären die transatlantischen Counterparts zu ODSZUKAC LISTOPAD, aber der Fünfer weiß auch ohne große Zitate zu gefallen und schlägt in „Sand garden" auch mal akustische Töne an und beginnt dann ein schwungvolles „February 06", welches vor allem die Stärke der Vocals zeigt, an denen sich beinahe alle Musiker beteiligen. Elf Songs, die weniger wirr sind als amerikanische Scream-Tracks und bei Weitem weniger gekünstelt wirken. Überzeugt, beschäftigt und ist ein echter Grower. (S)

THE FIGHT "Maldicion" CD
NNNW is happy to announce the release of a
long-awaited record from one of the most interesting
and more active polish bands of the last few years.
The LP was released in the summer of 2009, now the
time has come for the CD.
Since 2005 THE FIGHT have consistently followed their
own path, combining uncompromising socio-political
message with raging punk sound, not being afraid of
more melodic parts at the same time. After several
european tours, numerous shows in poland, a demo CD
and a 7" release, the band presents their first
full-length.
"MALDICION" includes 12 fast, perfectly sounding songs
with passionate female vocals. During the four years
of its existence The Fight evolved from melodic
hardcore/punk towards fierce harcore, sometimes even
crusty, sound.
Included is a booklet with lyrics raising important
and ucnonventional issues, with polish tranlations and
commentaries.

"Ox" zine review:
How is it again, The best Hardcore Punk records are
made under the most conservative and critical
governments? According to that "wisdom" it seems
that the political situation in poland is just
shortly before escalating. Cause thats where the THE
FIGHT are from. Right with the one-minute-opener
"Call it D.I.Y." they punch us with best
Hardcore/Punk with a crust edge that contains a
unmistakeable social-political message. For THE
FIGHT Punk is not just a four-letter word and thus
on "Maldicion" (spanish: curse) they offer twelve
pissed of HC-Bombs. Next to kickin' ass politically,
they also, like in the first song, lynch other Liers
and two faced guys: "You call it D.I.Y. and i call
it shit, another empty word, nothing stands behind
it. Competition! Punk rock stars! Mainstream
tactics! Gossip and Lies!" Very unique are the high
and screamed (keifen in german means something more
extreme than screaming but i didnt find a
translation, wolfi) vocals of singer asia. Her
remarkable screaming shapes the sound of THE FIGHT
and makes it stick in your ears for a long time
after. Even though THE FIGHT were fount in 2005
already, "Maldicion" is their first
Full-Length-Album after some 7"s, EPs, Samplers and
Demos. As to expect with 22 minutes running time it
doesnt offer much music but none the less an
intense, honest and very, very good one! (8 out of
