NEW RECORDS COMING UP!
Drumroll puh-lease! In March we will release the new full-length by The Dutch Rudders from Belgium, called On Verra, on CD/LP and digital. And we also welcome Neon Bone to the family. These German punx slap it onto the MZ family with a kick ass EP called Sick Of Me. In April, the Italian veterans Tough will release their new EP and the French legends Maladroit will treat the world with their 2nd full-length. And if that wasn't enough to cream your skinny jeans, May will see the release of new records by Mugwumps (full-length!) and The Hotlines (EP!). Loif is groit!

THE APERS JAPAN TOUR AND NEW GUITARIST!
From 1 to 15 March, The Apers will embark on another tour through Japan, this time accompanied by the greats of So Cho Pistons and The Kingons. Unfortunately Max Power has decided that he can't combine work, sexy time and punkrock anymore, so he joins the evergrowing legion of people that used to play guitar for The Apers. A worthy replacement is found in Kasper Keen of Peachy Keens, Hitchcocks and ofcourse 20 Belows fame. Let's see if he survives Nippon with Mikey, Ivo and Kevin.

LE MONSTER ZERO MASH PARIS!
It's in jugs and jars, we're having a party in Paris! Till from Maladroit, Guerilla Asso, Guerilla Poubelle and a million other bands and things came with an offer Goomba couldn't refuse and now we're doing in. Oui? Friday 19 & Saturday 20 June at Le Mechanique Ondulatoire in Paris. There will be a limited amount of tickets available, so keep an eye out for the pre-sale. Oh yeah, Maladroit, The Priceduifkes, The Apers, Charly Fiasco, The Murderburgers, Sons Of Buddha, Teenage Bubblegums, Garage Lopez, The Bat Bites and The Helltons are all playing. Fun times!

FRASER MURDERBURGER SEZ:
''I've put together a retrospective compilation called "Old Bullshit, Rare Bullshit, Previously Unreleased Bullshit & Live Bullshit (2007-2013)" made up of 60 songs ranging from our first ever demo from February 2007 to live tracks from our Glasgow show with The Flatliners in November 2013. It'll be available for free/pay what you want download via our Bandcamp page over the next week or so. We are touring the UK with Masked Intruder from May 13th to 17th. Still writing and demoing a new album.''

MIKE DEECRACK SEZ:
''Always busy, always plans... DeeCracks are heading on a weekend trip in Austria with 7 Years Bad Luck and a Mini-Tour with the Zatopeks through Germany in support of their recently released Dee Dee King tribute split 7". They will head on tour in Belgium, France, UK and the Netherlands with Not Scientists by the end of March. A split 10" with the Windowsill is in works and will be out at Crossbone Fest thanks to Shield Recordings featuring 4 new tracks from each band. Still, they are not allowed back in the USA, but that doesn't keep them from flying over the atlantic to tour in Canada and Mexico in May, including a gig at the Pouzza Fest in Montreál. DeeCracks will never stop kicking asses!''
