ZŁODZIEJE ROWEROW "Rozproszenie" 7"EP
After seventeen years, Złodzieje Rowerów from Zambrów, Poland are calling it quits, leaving behind three new songs as a farewell release. They were recorded in the "Hertz" studio in Białystok (Vader, Behemoth etc.) and are without doubt, the best sounding songs recorded by the band. A massive and powerful sound compliments the emotional intensity of the music and lyrics. For many, the band was, and always will be, synonymous with awareness, authenticity, honesty, and to-the-bone Hardcore Punk.
Zlodzieje Rowerow is recommended for anyone into the likes of Verbal Assault (and also Endpoint or Four Walls Falling), mid to late '80s DC Hardcore, and '80s/'90s HC Punk out of Poland with a strong, unique Eastern European vibe.
"Rozproszenie" ("Dispersed") 7"EP was pressed in four different colours: white, red, yellow and black. Limited editions are available with special covers. Graphic design is by Piotr Wilfort (Underground Factory). This is a One-time pressing, strictly limited to 565 copies.

ZŁODZIEJE ROWEROW "Emo'la" DLP
Limited vinyl reissue of the album originally released as a CD and Cassette in 1999. It is the best selling release on Refuse Records so far, but it's also one of the most important releases of the '90s Hardcore Punk scene in Poland. Zlodzieje Rowerow were known for their original song structures, well-written lyrics, and became as important for the HC punk crowd in Poland as legendary '80s bands like Dezerter or Abaddon. On this LP, intelligent socially and politically aware lyrics are filled with lots of empathy and personal perspective. Songs like "Skazani na sny" ("Sentenced to Dreams"), "Jak" ("How"), "Panta rhei" as well as all the other songs on the album, prove that for the band, Hardcore equals Punk. Additionally, the emotions carried by the music are authentic and match the intensity and expressiveness of traditional hardcore punk. The song "Każdy inny wszyscy równi" ("All Different All Equal") has become the anti-fascist anthem of this generation and was always one of the highlights of their shows.
Vinyl reissue of "Emo'la" is coming out as a Double LP in an attractive gatefold cover. It contains 16 songs, including a Kto UKRADL CIASTKA cover (they were a raging HC/Punk band from suburbs of Warsaw in the early 90s, their tape was Refuse Records release number 001) and also a bonus track, originally released on the "New Day Rising" comp CD on Boisleve Records in France.
