It all started with Andreas and Martin wanting to do something different
than the bands they were currently in. Experimenting with more noise/less
fuss/more fuzz/distortion and just playing around and learning from each
other. At
first it was just the two of them getting together here and there,
whenever they found the time. It was working surprisingly well being just
bass and guitar. But it came to the point where they wouldn’t advance
forward without a drummer. Stefan
joined in for a chaotic and long session where they mostly finalized the
majority of the songs and everything felt really good. They just needed
someone on vocals. But Stefan had a lot to do with his other bands, and
in the end for the recording of their contribution to Dis Is Malmö they received temporary help from Christoffer on drums and asked their friend
Aanna to scream. So,
with the song SCUM! finished and them being pleased with the sound. They asked if Aanna wanted to continue screaming with them and she did! On top
of that they just needed to find a permanent drummer. Jonathan
joined in and they finalized the songs for a live set and after the Dis
is Malmö release show they recorded the album. And that’s pretty much
where they are at right now.

The third ep from THE GREAT LIE, recorded with legend Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Unsane), embodies the band's raw intensity and aggressive precision. DEFYING EXTINCTION is the sound of five Long Island hardcore/metal veterans who reject the premise that punk is strictly a youth culture.

1. Could you tell a bit more about GIVE ´EM HELL record label ?
Hello Oli here, the one and only person behind GIVE ´EM HELL, first off all I wanna clear a little misunderstanding: GIVE
´EM HELL is the name of my mailorder / webshop, actually I have two
labels called CIVILISATION RECORDS (for newer bands but a little bit
inactive now) and THREAT FROM THE PAST (a label on which I re-release
material from Eighties / Nineties, I´m more active there). I live in a
small village in the southern part of Germany, in between Stuttgart and
Munich, so I´m located in the middle of nowhere,
hahahaha. I mainly release Punk, Crust, Hardcore and Grindcore but in
my mailorder I distribute all kind of Underground music from Metal to
Punk.
2. When did you start with GIVE EM HELL records label and are the bands satisfied with your services ?
The story goes like this: in the year 1995 I started CIVILISATION
RECORDS, mainly to support my friends from GAUDY GAWKS (a local Punk
band) with distribution / mailorder of their releases but shortly after
that I released my first own outputs (in the beginning
on tape but soon on vinyl too). In the year 2006 during a holiday in
the U.S.A. (when being on tour with my friends from SECURITY THREAT,
Denver Crustcore, Grind) I had the idea to start a second label on which
I wanted to re-release old stuff from bands that
had a big influence on my in my youth. It took me four more years to
have the first release there:the HELLBASTARD ”Heading For Internal Darkness" LP and more stuff
followed sooner or later. Around 2013 / 2014 I was dissatisfied my my
internet presence, I had two shitty looking webpages (CIVILISATION
RECORDS and THREAT FROM THE PAST) and more and
more webshop were popping up. I also wanted to have a webshop to be
able to survive in these modern times but didn´t wanted to give up both labels: the end of the story is I started GIVE ´EM HELL (mailorder / webshop / distribution) and both labels became
some kind of sub-business. I still do releases on both labels but they are distributed via GIVE ´EM HELL. Hahahaha complicated but true story.
I really hope the bands on my labels are happy with my service, within
the years I improved my skills in all ways and networking helped me to
get in contact with a lot of people doing other labels, mailorders,
working in studios or doing artwork / webdesign.
Saddly I´m working fulltime to earn money for
living and so my time to do real good label / mailorder work is strictly
limited. I try to distribute my releases worldwide and from time to
time I can help with arranging shows, but i´m
not a regular booker and we don´t have many venues in my area.
3. What bands can expect from you ?
Yeah at the time I mainly re-release stuff from
old bands which it´s easier for me now, mostly old recordings are
existing and the original artwork can be recycled. The bands of course
get their royalties and I pay for needed artwork
changes or possible studio time (remastering for example). I work
together with the released bands and I won´t do anything without
permission, the band can be creative as they want as long as it´s
reasonable concerning production costs.
4. Could you give some advice to bands about the underground scene ?
At lot of bands forget that playing in a band
is some kind of hard work, it´s is all about networking, playing live as
often as possible and trying to find new contacts all the time.
It´s not enough to sit in the rehearsal room all the time or collecting so-called friends in the internet.
No-one will release your material if you´re
totally unknown, unwilling to create proper sound or play live shows
from time to time. The real world is outside of your home, get out and
play / protest loud.
5. Could you say something at the end for the blog. All for one and one for all ?
First of all I want to finish this interview with a big thank you for
getting in touch with me and sending me this nice questions.
My last words are: Support the Underground and Stay Clean !!!
Punk will never be dead when there are people that stand against the commercial and capitalist music scene.
Crust was built on the debris of a few local bands (Swale, G.R.I.T.H.) . Those days, six years ago, we were driven by a strong desire to create music of extreme heaviness. Our influences were Love sex machine, Primitive man and others. We first started rehearsing in the industrial area in the suburbs. It was summer time and we played outside the workshop in the factory yard. We were experimenting with a bunch of genres until we finally found our own way and sound. Time is a winged chariot and it changes shapes and essence of everything it touches.
So, after walking the path of sludge metal for several years, more and more black metal elements started to appear in our music. Moreover the line-up has also undergone some changes as our drummer left the band but somehow some way less than in a week a new one (Roman) joined us and the trio survived. So far we’ve released a couple of albums on small independent Ural labels and now in the year 2019 we‘re looking forward to release another LP titled Stoic.
Agrotóxico is a
Brazilian Hardcore band formed in the suburbs of São Paulo in 1993, influenced
by the first generation of Brazilian, English, Finnish and Swedish punk.
Since then, the
band has never had periods of inactivity, having toured Brazil and Europe
several times, playing in the whole underground scene and in major DIY
festivals such as Rebellion (UK), Obscene Extreme (Czech), Force Attack
(Germany), Vive Le Punk (France), among others, being nowadays one of the most
popular Brazilian bands worldwide and specially on the European continent where
all of their albuns were released in countries like Germany, UK, France and
distributed all over Europe by Dirty Faces (DE), Break the Silence (DE) and
Pumpkin Recs (UK).
In this period
Agrotóxico released 7 albums, a documentary DVD and participated in several VA
records around the world.
The Agrotóxico’s
lyrics talk about different social subjects, from the violence of the big
cities, wars, ecology, politics, etc., always within the scene of the
libertarian left wing.
The band is
currently preparing songs for a new album to be released in 2020.
The current
line-up of Agrotóxico is: Marcos (Guit / Vocal), Jef (Bass / Vocal), Arthur
(Guit / Vocal) and Fernanda (Drums).
On the European
tour 2018and sometimes also in Brazil,
Leandro from ÓdioSocial replaces Arthur on guitar.
CUTRE come into being by the result of three guys desire to play fast hardcore. This desire'll decant into a 4 songs demo, registered in 2018. It was recorded and edited in tape, holding the "D.I.Y." like the only way to make things happen. The desire never ceased, then they decided to include an extra-foreign member into the band, closing the project-and finally converting it into an established band, motivated by the eagerness of unleash their project and making it take its own rhythm. In this way, Fede (Avernal, The Killing) on guitar, Leito (Motosierra, Setiembreonce) on bass, Diente (Ulcera) on vocals and Tincho (Camiones en la casa) on drum, take on a trip that's still going on... At the beginning of this current year, 2019, they're playing, composing, and recording their first studio album, that was registered in Ochava Records (the band drummer's home studio) and mastered in "Reel to reel" by Emanero, to later edit it by themselves in tape format.What's coming, is about to be written
ROT was formed in 1990 by Mendigo and Marcelo, before this it was already working in the underground, being involved with other bands and projects or doing fanzines, trading tapes and keeping in touch with people around the world. The band has developed themselves in the underground, however, ROT can hardly be framed within the standards of metal or punk. In 27 years of existence - With a hiatus of 5 years old - a series of important works: 1990-1995, 1996-1998, 1999-2002, 2003-2008, 2013 -... 1990-1995. After the recording of the first 7'E titled "Almighty God", the original drummer and bassist has leaved the band, Marcelo da Silva and Claudinei Vieira - friends who have always been in the rehearsals - are invited to participate, and with this formation they recorded a cd and seven more &’EP splits with bands from around the world. In 1994, were invited to do the first European tour our German band, Morbid Records Label. But due to a lack of experience and internal problems within the band, they couldn’t made it. Alex Bucho (WARHATE and BARFLY) enters the band replacing Marcelo da Silva on the bass, giving more energy and musicality, in a short space of time, recorded the Split LP with the band INTESTINAL DESEASE (Belgium), in which it aroused the interest of the band’s vocalist, also holder of the Grinding Madness Label in a 1996 European Tour Rot, 1996 – Ransgate/Inglaterra 1996 - 1998, after having settled in the style, have played in some smaller cities, the capital of São Paulo and some others states as Paraná and Santa Catarina the band leaves for the old world for a Mini tour, in a moment that only very few Brazilian bands had the chance to know in practice how the local scenes worked, dates that strengthened us and encouraged our return in 1998. Accompanied by another Brazilian band - ABUSO SONORO - and with a new drummer Mané (ex. INFERNO SONORO) were Thirty-two days and thirty gigs on European soil, mostly accompanied by the bands: WOICZECH, ENTRAILS MASSACRE, from German, and the danish DEEPREST. Rot 1998 - Utrecht/ Holanda 1999 – 2002. Without a drummer and no expectations to return active, the end of the year 2000, Ricardo Trassato takes on the drums, with 28 songs ready, We recorded our CD "A long Cold Stare" Recorded at the Ancients Valley's Tower Studio in June and July of 2002. In August / September of the same year, we did the tour of this last LP, considered by many to be the band's best album. Rot – Gent/Bélgica 2003 – 2008. The band undergoes another painful process, the departure of Alex Bucho at the bass, also assuming the second voice. In common agreement, they decided to have an independent vocalist, one also known and friend of many decades Jeferson Pizone (Ex-TAPASYA), and about four different bassists who did not get used to the rhythm of the band. With the departure of the singer and co-founder of the band, Marcelo Batista. The band recorded without his presence the Split 7 "EP with the German friends of WOJCZECH and a Split CD with the friends of Brasilia DEATH SLAM. Marcelo returns to the band, Ricardo leaves the drums and enters Rafael de Oliveira (Ex-DISPESIA). After recording more 7 "EPs, they did some gigs in Brazil, the band decided to give some time for a hiatus, with no set deadline, since the members were connected in other projects. 2013-... Mendigo and Rafael decide to do a rehearsal to rescue and create new songs without commitment, which ended in the return of the band. In addition to the return of Marcelo and Alex, they decided to call a very old friend of the scene, Marcolino Jeremias (formerly DEADMOCRACY) for the second rehearsal. Of course, the rhythm of the band was different, they did not have as much time to compose as it was in the past, with members living in differents points of São Paulo and after almost a decade without recording anything, the band came back to a studio between June and July 2015 and recorded 12 unpublished sounds that make up the ep entitled "Nowhere". This Ep definitely marks the return of the ROT as well as reaffirming the style that the band has been practicing all these years, but after some few live performances of the EP release, the band suffers significant losses in its formation, but does not discourage and returns with enough breath that remains the same to a year and to symbolize the event, they release their most recent work the Virtual Ep "worshiping their own chains" containing three songs of the good old grindcore, available for Free Download. Rot – Centro Cultural Vergueiro – SP/Brasil
