Even though the heat is almost unbearable, and sweat is dripping down our computerscreens, we’ll continue working this summer… And we aren’t the only ones! Our bands are playing shows everywhere and there’s no way if you’re the least interested in hardcore that you missed them. Here’s what’s happening...
TRASH TALK – S/T CD out now! LP’s coming later.
The perfect unison of Cryptic Slaughter-ish full-speed pre-thrash agitated by the fury and rhythmic tumult of D.R.I. and Discharge. - Exclaim! If last year was the breakout year for Trash Talk then that means that 2008 will be the year that things go ballistic. - Scene Point Blank Good stuff. That's all there is to it... - Aversion Online
TRASH TALK 's debut LP delves deeper into the abyss surrounding their last chaotic release. Recorded in just under 2 days at Chicago's Electrical Audio and employing the genius of Steve Albini (Nirvana, The Pixies, Neurosis), TRASH TALK has continued to push the envelope of extreme music. Grinding guitars paired with heavy yet somber bass lines provide the battlefield for harsh dueling vocals to wage war over 12 instant classics.
The CD is out now and comes in a great looking digipack while the European vinyl comes in a gatefold sleeve with a first pressing of 1000 copies. TAKE NOTE: Due to some major delays and internal problems at the pressingplant, the TRASH TALK LP is delayed till further notice. We hope to get them in as soon as possible and will start shipping when we received them ourselves. Thanks for your patience and understanding. There’s not much we can do about this…

NO TURNING BACK claiming stages and crowds everywhere!
There’s no stopping Europe’s best hardcore band. They’re playing festivals all over Europe and leave kids battered, bruised and flabbergasted. Last weekend the band played Fluff Fest in the Czech Republic and a a huge circlepit got the festival site shaking like a cattle stampede! (Pretty poor quality but you get the action!!)
Go check the tourdates on our website for all their upcoming dates including shows in Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania and once more (for the sixth time!) the USA where the band will play the huge This Is Hardcore Fest in Phildelphia. As well as numerous festivals all over Europe.
“These guys are one of the best and there's certainly good reason for that. Yes, this is the same type of hardcore that has been churned out one release after another but this shit is done gooood. Awesome songs, visually pleasing layout and terrific recording and mastering make this a CD worth adding to your collection”. Siczine / USA

NEW MORALITY tours Europe with Deal With It!
With their debut album coming early November, Holland’s NEW MORALITY, is working hard on showing the current hardcore scene that they’re a force to be reckoned with. Reflections got to know them as a band that, like not many others, really has that “We-don’t-give-a-shit-and-we-do-what-we-want-mentality" most bands lack in todays hardcore scene. With an attitude and anger that shows they mean what they say and mean what they play, NEW MORALITY is ready for their next step and show that hardcore isn’t that dumb gimmick many others made of it, but music that’s meant to be about reality and standing firm against todays rotten world.
