MANLIFTINGBANNER DOUBLE-LP AND NEW RECORDINGS
Have you ever wondered how MANLIFTINGBANNER would sound in 2011? Well, as fast as they sounded in the nineties with a bit DEADSTOOLPIGEON tunes thrown in. More importantly they have something to say. With song titles like God Bless The Poor or Wall Street Wars they sure still waving the red flag in 2011. The eight new recorded songs will come in addition to the discography which will be released as a double LP.

SHIPWRECKED LP RECORDINGS DONE
The SHIPWRECKED album has been in the works for 2 years at least! Somehow and I can't believe it the band managed to record 21 songs for an yet untitled LP on Crucial Response. The band are remixing a few things in the next few weeks to make sure that the recordings are 100% perfect. Shipwrecked is a cross between early SSD and DYS with some slower songs thrown in.

STARTING FROM ZERO COMPILATION IN THE WORKS(The STARTING FROM ZERO compilation takes some more effort than I thought. Unfortunately some bands broke up before they could record something. SEEIN' RED recorded two songs but wasn't satisfied with the sound. RIGHT IDEA, COMMITMENT CREW, INJUSTICE SYSTEM, DOGENDS, REFRAIN, NIGHT PROWLER and TIMES TOGETHER have all recorded so far. We keep you updated when more bands will record their songs.

VOICE OF A GENERATION NUMBER 4
It will take a bit more time for the next issue of VOICE OF A GENERATION fanzine. But hey, the readers got used to it, aren't they? Number four has an interview with BLOOD RED plus their entire demo on 7" in addition. We might throw in an aborted INSTED interview which was supposed to be in the first issue. As usual we have columns and got plenty of cool photos like Lärm, Dead Kennedys, Hüsker Dü, Dag Nasty, Scream, Void, Artificial Peace, Faith, SOA.
