NEW SUGUS ALBUM OUT NOW!
After more than five years of radio silence, Sugus is back with their fifth album, ‘1995’! Celebrating more than 20 years on the road, the new album continues where they left of off. 14 new songs, sang in english and spanish again in which the four punks unleash all their philias and phobias. Lots of punk references will come to mind, but Sugus stay unique. Still fast, catchy and funny, but ‘1995’ also has a darker edge to it. Songs about anger, emotions and friends that have gone to soon. On '1995', Sugus let you enter their punkrock universe, with Madrid as its glooming center. FFO Screeching Weasel, Marked Men, Vindictives and more. Co-released with the legendary Rufus Recordings. Get it now: https://monsterzerorecords.com/prod…/sugus-1995-lp-pre-order
NEW JAGGER HOLLY ALBUM OUT SOON!
The legend that is Jagger Holly just finished a tour in Brasil with Flanders 72 and is now making his way to the American shores for some touring over there. And when he returns to the Alps, he shall unleashe his new full-length album 'The Last Of The International Playboys' upon the world. Exact release date to be announced!
NEW MUGWUMPS ALBUM OUT SOONER!
However, the Innsbruck punkrock powerhouse The Mugwumps will drop their 4th full-length even before Jagger Holly can say 'vegan wienerschnitzel'! Their new album is called 'Clown War Four' and will hit the streets at the beginning of November! There will be a pre-sale special with an exclusive shirt available a few weeks before that date. The release party for this will go down at the PMK in Innsbruck with none other than legendary HEAD from Seattle and the Reekys from Munich.
DUTCH RUDDERS ARE STILL A BAND!
Not only is this a fact, the Belgian gruff & weird punx have recorded a new EP that shall be released on the 2nd of November on Monster Zero. Like a fungus they've been hiding it out, but the beer infested blood crawls where it dares not go. Expect the new EP 'Are You Miserable' all over the place in November and get excited.
MALADROIT ABOUT TO MAKE NEW 7” AND NEW HUMAN!
French poppunk superstars are a bunch of active young men! Always busy with their sideprojects like Guerilla Poubelle and whatever Chamoule does, but never losing focus for the poppy punk side of life. Forest Pooky is playing bass now, because Adi is working on a new human being, and there are serious plans for a new 7” in early 2019. Goomba can't wait!
