NO MONSTER ZERO MASH THIS WINTER!

With pain in our hearts we have to inform you that there will be NO Monster Zero Mash at the Rock Palace in Madrid this December. Due to circumstances beyond our control Rock Palace can not have live music that period, so that means no mashin. Really sorry to all those who were planning on coming out for the party. We'll mash it up again in 2016!

 

MIDRAKE JOINS THE MONSTER ZERO GANG!

Everybody, please meet Midrake! Four punkrockers from Swiss / USA that've just released their debut full-length on Monster Zero! It's MZ #50 by the way... Anyway, the album contains nothing but hits in the greater Bracket, Weezer, Hagfish tradition. Catchy as fuck poppunk yes! Get their selftitled record (LP/CD) from our online store (www.monsterzerorecords.com) and go see them live, there tour starts October 1st! Shows in the showsection!

 

NEW THE PONCHES RECORD OUT NOW!

Yes, the boys from Ferriera Beach are back with their 2nd full-length 'HUM'! Smart punkrock for fans of Manges, Ramones and Italian culture. 12 class A handcrafted gems for you to do pogo to. You've heard em, you've see em live, now get their new record, it's GOOD! MZ #48 yo!

 

DEECRACKS ARE ALRIGHT!

We know everybody out there is concerned about our favorite threesome from Austria, but Mike, Matt and Zhong are alright. They're currently touring China and got stuck in Hong Kong for a few days because of some visa related nonsense, but everything is fine again, and they're back in the Chinese mainland, eating noodles and making new friends. At of the end of this month they will tour Austria again with 7 Years Bad Luck, so there's your chance to catch them and eat schnitzel.

 

MUCHO MANGES!

Ok, here we go. Andrea Manges is going to Hawaii where he will play two shows this weekend together with Flamingo Nosebleed. In December the striped gang will support CJ Ramone when he plays two shows n Italia. For this occasion they will release a split 7” on their own Striped Records. And if all that wasn't enough they will release a new EP on Eccentric Pop Records from the USA. By the way, they need you help for an upcoming video project, here's what they need:

''Please send us a short video (about 3/4 sec done with a smartphone) of yourself wearing a striped t-shirt like ours. Just looking at the camera and such. Video has to be shot horizontal. We're working on a nice project. Send your video to massmosrite@hotmail.com. Grazie!

 

ANOTHER NEW MALADROIT VIDEO!

We already knew the French poppunx Maladroit like making videos, but this time they went all out with their new video for the song 'You're My Han Solo', taken from their latest Monster Zero record 'Freedom Fries And Freedom Kisses'. We don't wanna ruin the suprise, but if you dig Star Wars, is a must-watch. Check it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guzntuEYy_w

 

MURDERBURGERS IN THE USAIGHT!

The Scottish poppunk legends are currently over at Atlas Studios in Chicago recording the new Murderburgers record with Matt Allison producing and Red and Yellow from Masked Intruder playing drums and bass! Once they're done, the Murderburgers / City Mouse US tour around Fest starts on Oct 22nd. And when that's done, they'll return to Europe for a UK / Euro tour with Rational Anthem. Shows in the show section. Hallelujah!
