SHORTLIVED - RADIO INTERVIEW

here's a SHORTLIVED radio interview they did in New Zealand a short time before they toured Europe!

A NEW SPLIT

FUCK YOGA REC. and I.B.R. are sharing a flier. click to enlarge!

and here's another review of the MAD BLASTS OF CHAOS VOL. II split 7" taken from TROUBLE ON YOUR SYSTEM:

So, no download link this time...only my two cents on why this 7" rules and why you should snag a copy immediately. This is the second installment in the Mad Blasts of Chaos series released by Idoneum Bello Records, featuring two killer bands...Sick/Tired from the states (Illinois to be exact) and Coffee Rage from New Zealand. Sick/Tired serve up 4 vicious tracks of raging fast thrash/hardcore and feature ex-members of several other top notch bands including MK-Ultra, Right to Remain, Exalted and Weekend Nachos to name a few. Coffee Rage, who share members with Gawj and Asscharger, keep the momentum rolling with 7 tracks of raw and energetic hardcore. Seriously, both bands kill their side with fast and gritty guitar execution and punishing vocals...not letting up for a single second. Anyways, if my word isn't enough to spark your interest...check out the tracks posted on Sick/Tired's MySpace page (a few of which can be found on this split), and also check out Coffee Rage's 8 track demo CD-R released back in '07 here. Copies available on clear and black vinyl (not sure how many of each), and also comes with a bunch of extra goodies pictured below.

IDONEUM BELLO REC. 011.5 - HOSTILE LIFE - SKATEFUCKED E.P. CD-R

the German version of HOSTILE LIFE's SKATEFUCKED E.P. is finally good to go. 6 tracks of old-school sounding HARDCORE that has a thrashy edge. as said earlier the tape was done by TO LIVE A LIE & RAWER BREATH REC. and the description on the RAWER BREATH website said that: "This is old people-hatin', authority-questionin', triple-impossible-pullin', daily routine-dreadin' hardcore that makes you think it's the 80's again. But don't be fooled! This shit is hot off the presses. And it's awesome." which is a pretty good sum up I'd say. anyways, Winnipeg's HOSTILE LIFE are another sweet Canadian band to be reckoned with!

prices are: Germany: 4,00 € pp / Europe: 5,50 € pp / World: 8,00 € pp

DISCONNECTED - LIVE IN TOLEDO, OHIO 01/11/209

DISCONNECTED live in Toledo, Ohio on Sunday, November 1, 2009. Songs: Kiss Your Gun, He Gets What He Gets and Hooker Pride. Additional witty stage banter thrown in for seasoning. A ladyfriend of the band was playing with a brand new digital camera seeing what it could do. The video isn't the best, but it came out alot better than expected considering how loud we play and the lack of proper stage lighting.

MALPARIDO! TEARING IT UP LIVE

MALPARIDO! = New Zealand CRUDOS worshiping

SCOTIA WIDOWS a.k.a. AMISH SLUTS

SCOTIA WIDOWS is another band that Kirk of SICK/TIRED plays in. if you expect them to be another FASTCORE / HARDCORE band like MK-ULTRA, SICK/TIRED, etc. let me tell you: you are wrong! in Kirk's own words: "Scotia Widows is basically me from mk-ultra with the drummer and guitarist from Pedestrians and the girl singing is from a lesser known chicago band called Venom Lords. Also, the "male" vocals are me singing. We have gotten comparisons to old Dangerhouse bands and Husker Du. It seems like a fair comparison." I guess I agree. but nevertheless SCOTIA WIDOWS are still a strange beast as there are some points where music and vocals seem to so far apart from one another that this must also be the reason that they still connect somehow. as I got a weak spot for female vocals I like it a lot! the physical copies of the CD-R were ltd. to 100 if you didn't get one click the pic for an mp3 rip of the demo.

OUT SOON: IDONEUM BELLO REC. 011.5 - HOSTILE LIFE - SKATEFUCKED E.P. CD-R IS COMING SOON!

this is how the cover of the European CD-R version of HOSTILE LIFE's SKATEFUCKED tape will look like. it will be a vinyl CD-R and most likely HOSTILE LIFE will be stamped on it... but who knows? maybe there will be different kinds CDs... and as we're speaking of HOSTILE LIFE - they got a blog of their own!

GET IT WHILE YOU CAN...

Sam has sent me some more copies of SHORTLIVED's self-released debut 12" which just had a print-run of 200 copies if I'm not mistaken. 14 tracks of great DROPDEAD styled HARDCORE in 13 min 33 sec.! the 12" comes in a thick screen-printed cardboard cover with lyric sheet and an extra sheet that has some cut & paste artwork. if you like music that's fast & vicious do yourself a favor and contact me.

ABORTED CHRISTIANS - LIVE 11/07/09

the recordings for the ABORTED CHRISTIANS & GAWJ - split 5" are also nearly finished! they need some mastering though. in case you're curious what to expect check out the ABORTED CHRISTIANS live footage on youtube.

IDONEUM BELLO REC. 011.5 - HOSTILE LIFE - SKATEFUCKED E.P. CD-R IS COMING SOON!

HOSTILE LIFE's SKATEFUCKED E.P. will be released as a tape in the U.S. by the band with help from RAWER BREATH REC. and TO LIVE A LIE REC. in Europe however I'll help them out and put the 6 tracks on a (vinyl) CD-R which will be housed in a DVD case. I don't know how the tapes are handled but the CD-Rs will be ltd. to 100 copies and will come with the usual gimicks like a lyricsheet and whatnot (maybe with buttons and/or patches) and of course have a printed cover.

GAWJ

have a sweet new blog entry:

Gawj ep available now.

So the 7" is available in 3 different variations while stock lasts.

Get it from http://shop.nowayout.co.nz (in Europe you can get it from PER KORO or me in the U.S. in a few days INTERPUNK may be your best bet for the start)

Also cool reviews in Maximum Rock'nRoll and on the Punkas website.

Also stop the friend requests, if we want to be your buddy we'll fucking ask you. All requests will be deleted. We don't like you, we certainly don't like your shit band and we don't give a fuck about your upcoming shows.

Gawj are also not playing live for the forseeable future.

edit: here's another review from SCANNER zine...

GÄWJ - So Far Away From Giving A Fuck We Can’t Be Seen {Idoneum Bello} Ever wonder what it’s like to have your face burnt off while simultaneously being ripped a new arsehole? Wonder no more because New Zealand’s very own GÄWJ will sort both issues out! This is a trip-to-hell 15-track 7" pressed on resplendent white vinyl that melds the spastic blur of the most ferocious Japanese HC (think LIP CREAM), a WARCOLLAPSE-esque Crust vocal assault and some down-tuned Metal riffage to create a noise that is guaranteed to dissolve the bowel of any Gaslight Anthem fan at 50 paces. The opening squeal of feedback heralds one of the highlights, ‘Buried Under 1000 Years Of Shit’. The feedback continues to assail the ears between every track with ‘Roadside Slaughter’ and ‘All Burn Together’ being other notables. Packaging is top stuff too with a fold out poster, inner sleeve and full lyrics. I personally could’ve done without so much Metal in the sound, but when a track like ‘Fuck Your World’ hits, then all is fine by me! (11.10.09)

GAWJ REVIEW FROM PUNK AS

Hamilton band Gawj may have flown under most radars, but that's probably the way they want it. Don't believe that? Maybe the title of their latest vinyl 7" will give it away � the charmingly named, So Far Away From Giving A Fuck That We Can't Be Seen. I actually have a CD-R version to review with no tracklist and has two six-and-a-half-minute tracks on it, even though the 7" apparently contains 15 songs packed into those 13 minutes. So forgive the lack of individual song mentions, but in the case of So Far Away..., it probably is not required in any case. This is a ferocious barrage of a release, the songs racing past at breakneck speed and full intensity all the way through. There is not the slightest concession to verses and choruses or, fuck it, even melodies. This is about mainlining despair and aggression in the purest way possible. Drums clatter frenetically, guitars feedback and vocals shriek incomprehensibly. Easy listening, this ain't. In spite of all that, while the intensity never lulls, Gawj introduce a fair amount of variety into their work. Tempo changes, samples, groove variation and more mean there is more to chew on here than sheer ferocity. If there is a criticism, it may be that Gawj have not forged their own unique sound; this release sounds like a number of other bands. But when they're doing it as well as this, who really cares? A take-no-prisoners 'fuck off' statement as blunt as its title, So Far Away From Giving A Fuck That We Can't Be Seen is a short, sharp shock meant for the die-hard fans of the genre.

IDONEUM BELLO REC. 011 - MALPARIDO & PARTY BY THE SLICE - SPLIT 7"

PARTY BY THE SLICE are Milwaukee's crushing d-beating, pizza eating, HARDCORE ripping jerks that played in KUNG-FU RICK, GET RAD, PROTESTANT and other bands before . Very much a faster version of the crusty bands you love. Talented, attractive and tougher than leather. MALPARIDO! represents the great country of New Zealand but blasts those sheepsheering stereotypes out of the water which is no big surprise as MALPARIDO! is Chris from COFFEE RAGE, Tony from DRUG PROBLEM, James from DRUG PROBLEM & SHORTLIVED and Carlos who runs EL PASO RECORDS. Non-stop CRUDOS worship blasting incl. lyrics in Spanish. This was released together with other labels as TO LIVE A LIE, EL PASO, HALO OF FLIES, UNITED BLASPHEMY and others. Comes on grey marbled vinyl!

PLASTIC BOMB REVIEWS

THE 1st COFFEE RAGE & SICK/TIRED SPLIT 7" a.k.a. MAD BLASTS OF CHAOS VOL. II REVIEW

Sick/Tired rocks on the flip side of punk/metal collaboration

By CONNOR RICE

Last updated on 08/26/2009 at 10:35 p.m.

Sick/Tired 4/5 stars
Coffee Rage 2.5/5 stars

The history of punk rock music is laden with bands that, unable to afford putting out a record themselves, seek out another band to split the costs and resulting album with.

DeKalb punk/metal band “Sick/Tired” was recently fortunate enough to do just that, recording a split seven-inch vinyl record with New Zealand punk band “Coffee Rage.” Assembled by Idoneum Bello Records from Germany, “Sick/Tired” and “Coffee Rage” have managed to collaborate on one of the best records to have a local band’s name on it in a long time.

The first side of this record is by “Sick/Tired.” Formed only last year, this is the group’s first time on record. These guys may get lumped into the “grindcore” or “powerviolence” subcategories of music, but apparently refuse to limit themselves to just one label.

In just four blistering tracks, the band proves that short and simple songs can have just as much of an impact as any double-album rock opera. By laying on plenty of R-rated lyrics, and alternating between furious thrash metal and slow, catchy jams, “Sick/Tired” has managed to put together a hook-filled record that sets them far apart from their often untalented peers. This side is perfect for people with short attention spans and a taste for intense music.

“Coffee Rage” from New Zealand is the band on the flip side of this record. Formed in 2007, broken up by late 2008, and re-formed earlier this year, the band contributed a seven-song long attack to this venture. Loaded with non-stop drumbeats and depressing yet comical lyrics, these recordings yield a solid effort of no real note. The band does not try to re-invent the wheel, but they do what they do and they do it well.

The first track, “Never Restrictions”, set the bar fairly high for the rest of the songs. Sadly, they only reach that peak, never moving past it and often only imitating it. The first few listens prove to be enjoyable, but it soon feels like it’s time to move on. The clever wordplay in the lyrics only maintains its novelty for so long without catchy riffs to back them up.

Overall, this record was pretty great. “Sick/Tired” delivers an amazing onslaught of riff-heavy hardcore punk that should have taken up the whole record, while “Coffee Rage”, though talented, fail to make any real impression on the listener. If you like fast, raging punk and metal (and own a record player), check out their myspace at http://www.myspace.com/sicktiredthrash to get more info on how to obtain a record.

STATE POISON - MRR REVIEW OF THE DEMO CD-R

MRR (Cissie Scurlock): "Make no mistake, these Frenchies-plus-one-Floridian sleep cuddled next to their Disorder records, passed out with a gluebag in hand. ... I would align this with SWANKYS or early CONFUSE, before lumping it in with the crasher crust scene. Overall, STATE POISON has enough ineptness, ridiculousness, catchiness, and creativity to pull this style off."

EDIT: fuck, I stand corrected it's a review of their demo!

but this is about the 7":

Brian "Rawter" R. - TROUBLE ON YOUR SYSTEM: Here we have the Self-titled 7" by the band State Poison. Gallo recommended this band to me, and I don't know much about these guys except that they are from France and this EP is killer. The first thing that popped into my head upon first listening to this record was that if bands like Gauze, GISM or Gai were French...this could possibly be the outcome. Check it out.

SHORTLIVED - LIVE @ EKH, VIENNA 14 06 2009

IDONEUM BELLO RECORDS 007 - SHORTLIVED - DEMO 7" IS READY!

the SHORTLIVED DEMO 7" is finally back from the plant. I was supposed to bring some copies to Bremen but as I was throwing up the whole night I had to cancel the trip. another thing is that it was supposed to be a one time white label pressing with a print-run of 200 but the pressing plant sent me 300 for whatever reason? now expect some to have unique covers, etc. as I don't have enough inserts for 100 extra copies!

BUY THIS CD (IF YOU CAN)

DRUG PROBLEM is SHORTLIVED's guitarist James' other band and this is their new CD. this is a totally sick piece of art & music - a mix of SLUDGE and POWER VIOLENCE you haven't heard before! it's sold on SHORTLIVED's tour so hurry up and get yourself a copy. they got a good review in SHORT, FAST + LOUD too!

NEWSFLASH/NEWSFLASH/NEWSFLASH/NEWSFLASH/NEWSFLASH/NEWSFLASH/NEWSFLASH/NEWS

• the DISCONNECTED & WASTELAND split 7" is in the pressing plant.

• the SICK/TIRED & COFFEE RAGE split 7" is also in the pressing plant.

CONSIGNMENT & TRADES

Q: will I give you records on consignment?

A: no! fuck, NO! period!

the bottom line is if you want any records from me you pay upfront! yes, that includes you too so there's no need to ask if you couldn't be the exception to the rule!

Q: will I trade my releases against yours?

A: your chances are rather thin!

I don't run a mailorder or have a recordstore or whatever. therefore I just wouldn't know what to do with the records I'd get for mine. I did some trades (e.g. with Ivan/FUCK YOGA) but that's the exception to the rule and I really feel flattered when people ask me but till the day I can pay the pressing plants with those records be prepared to get NO for an answer.

IDONEUM BELLO RECORDS 006 - SHORTLIVED - MINDROT 7" IS READY!

a little bit late, but finally ready: SHORTLIVED's MINDROT 7". 8 tracks of fast and angry New Zealand HARDCORE!

FROM DOWN UNDER WITH SPEED

SHORTLIVED are somehow persecuted from bad luck as it seems. they got 2 different 7"es in the 2 different pressing plants and neither of them made it to me for the start of their tour. the 1st master CD for their MINDROT 7" vanished into thin air in te mail and when the 2nd master CD finally arrived we had to find out that they fucked something up while mastering their recordings and cause of that it isn't ready yet. the 2nd 7", with the 8 tacks from their demo CD-R (which I have already ordered about 9 or 10 weeks ago and which is a white label pressing ltd. to 200) has had problems in the cuting and plating process but should be here on Tuesday.

Praise! Hail! Satan!

edit: that means you probably can buy the SHORTLIVED - MINDROT 7" for the 1st time in Vienna on the 14th and on all shows after that one.

SHORTLIVED's demo 7" will hopefully make it back from the plant on the 18th so the 1st show where it will be sold should be on the 19th in Bremen where I'd deliver it myself as no one else would.

the final dates for SHORTLIVED's raid on Europe:

07/06 : Grenoble, France

11/06 : Beltinci, Slovenia

12/06 : Rijeka, Croatia

13/06 : Hungary

14/06 : Vienna, Austria

15/06 : Prague, Czech

16/06 : Slavonice, Czech

17/06 : Ostrava, Czech

18/06 : Chemnitz, Germany

19/06 : Bremen, Germany

20/06 : Day off @ Trashfest

21/06 : TRASHFEST, Steenwijk Holland

22/06 : Amsterdam, Holland

23/06 : Liège, Belgium

24/06 : Kortrijk, Belgium

25/06 : Saint-Etienne, France

26/06 : Lyon, France

27/06 : Dijon, France

IN CASE YOU FIND WHITE HAIRS...

on your GAWJ or KALI I 7"es a look at the pics will tell you who's to blame. Chabo loves boxes and therefore Chabo sqatted the boxes I had just bought to send GAWJ and KALI their part of the pressings and refused to leave it if I wouldn't let him switch to the other one. of course I could've "used force" to remove him but I knowing I can't make him stop going on my nerves I decided that Monday would also be ok to send out the parcels!

IDONEUM BELLO RECORDS - 010 - KALI - DEMO 7" IS READY

KALI hail from Canada and this 7" contains the 8 tracks of their demo. fierce POWER VIOLENCE with a strong anti-christian stance! as there were just 500 pressed you should act quick!

IDONEUM BELLO RECORDS 005 - STATE POISON'S DEBUT 7" IS READY!

the STATE POISON 7" is finally ready. cover comes in many different colors as you can see on the pic to the left!

IDONEUM BELLO REC. 003 - GAWJ 7" WITH KILL THE I.B.R. COVER

KILL THE I.B.M. was the name of a tape from Nippon's LIP CREAM... now, as I got more GAWJ 7"es than covers the remaining GAWJ 7"es will come with a KILL THE I.B.R. cover which is a piss-take of, you guessed it, the cover of said LIP CREAM tape!
