As all of you know we have a tour coming up exploring new countries and meeting new people.
We want to make sure as many of you can have a listen to our tunes even if you don´t have facebook, spotify or doesn´t use myspace (cuz let´s face it who does that nowadays) so we decided to put up our entire EP for free download. This means you don´t have to be on the internet to rock out to our songs on your way school, work, party or whatever.
So here are links to all of our songs of our debut EP “This is a mutiny” released last year:
If you like what you hear, please support us by buying the EP or other merchendise at our shows, or ask your local record store to order it for you (it should be available for order in the whole of Europe). With your support we will be able to record more songs in the future.
Basic capitalism – if you like it enough to buy it even if you can get it for free, then everybody wins. If enough people actually buy it we will be able to keep giving you more without money being lost to people who´s job is to tell you what you should listen to.
So tell all your friends and hope to see you soon in your hometown.

Got a lot of stuff in the pipeline for this year my friends.
Planning on recording a full length album, which seems more difficult
than ever since our money keeps running out all the time.
(worlds smallest violin playing the worlds saddest cover of Tear them Down for us)
Although we won’t let that (or anything else) stop us from doing that.
We’re also planning a couple of tours for this year.
First one in April, and then one during the summer months.
More info about that will be posted soon.
Don’t forget to check us out when we play our hometown this saturday, February 4th.
It’ll be friggin bombtastic!
With that being said we head of to four shows in three days with “The Snacks man”. Things got off to a pretty fun start when we left-Bystrice nad Pernštejnem.We felt like doing the whole tourist thing and Czech Rebublic actually has some great old castles and stuff. Next town was pretty close so some of us asked the promoter from Millenium Bar if there was anything worth seeing on the way. He mentioned a big castle and pointed the direction on a map.
After about one hour when we reached a small village with a tourist map of some sort we felt pretty lost. I decided to try and ask some locals. Beware –this was a small Czech village and most people in bigger cities were known to speak almost no english at all. This guy however spoke english with almost no accent at all so I asked about the castle and pointed to the tourist map.
“Castle? More like a pile of rocks.”… Fuck…
Well well in Ždár nad Sázavou that was our next stop they had some old monastery and we also found a nice bowling alley. For an awesome case study of how to actually play bowling – watch our tour video on youtube where you can see probably a perfect throw from yours truly.
The venue for the evening had the great name “Rock Hell Moto Bar” – Fuck yeah, that sounds like the ultimate place for a punk rock show. We came up and the place was pretty huge and now we met Jacob. He said he had dinner for us., nice. It was pretty late though so most of us had already had something to eat. Lucky for those who had because the dinner was a loaf of bread, some cheese, chips, salty sticks and if I remember correctly some small sausages. We didn´t mention anything because as I said it was pretty late so maybe he was sure that we had already eaten. Weird, but ok.. He then said it would be at least 150 kids coming to the show. That´s pretty sweet.
Then Jacob started setting up the PA which we grew to love over our three day adventure with him. Three rugged old mikes and decent speakers at first sight and again we thought, hey this is punk we´ll play on anything. But for such a huge place you really needed something bigger but then again fuck it, if 150 people come we will do our best to make it sound great anyways. The thing is that no one came, at most there was a total of 10 paying attendees. Jacob blamed some festival in a nearby town.
Funny thing happened though – one guy came up to be and rambled on about something in Czech.
- “Rabble rabble rabble!!”
- “Err, the what in the what know”
- “Rabble rabble rabble” And then the guy started pointing at the stage.
So I went with him to the stage, by this point I realized that the guy was really, and I mean really, drunk. But he just kept going:
- “Rabble rabble rabble?
- “I don´t speak Czech, can you try and explain in any other way what you want
- “Rabble rabble rabble!!!
- “Ok – wait here”
So I got this guy from the other band we were gonna play with that spoke some english and asked him to talk to this guy for me. They started talking and never stopped. I thought it was pretty strange considering the guy was really eager to tell me something so I stopped their conversation and asked the guy from the other band if he found out what the deal was. Best explanation ever:
“I have no fucking clue, he´s totally drunk”
If we didn´t already know – people in Czech take their drinking really seriously.
The show was actually not that bad, the people that were there thought it was good and we sold some merch. We still had Yara, David and Robert with us as well as I mentioned in the earlier post so we were a pretty big party crew so it was hard to be too bummed out. Speaking of hard – we all had to sleep on the floor at Jakob´s place. Good times.
Next post we´ll head out to play at a motor cycle club, some kind of barn and a bowling alley.
Here is a video of the slapping contest we had in Jakob´s apartment.
We had a great time both in Borlänge (except that our car broke down, and it’s still there) and Örebro! A big thank you to both promoters, bands and to everyone who came out to see us!
Next show: Nov 26 – Rockstuen w/Skavengers, Odense [DK]
