THE TRANCE - farewell to a world untorn LP is reviewed by Mike Korbik from Twang! Records / Guitars Galore:

"…the songwriting is with no doubt rooted in the Flower Power era of the year 1967 with characteristics of bands like TOMORROW, ART, SMALL FACES, sometimes also THE WHO, THE ANIMALS or SPENCER DAVIS GROUP. On the other hand, the style and arrangements shows, that they are also kids from the revival of the 80´s. Bands like THE PRISONERS, MAKIN`TIME and not least THE VOGUE from Vienna have left their mark on the sound of this album. The LP contains all songs they had ever recorded, including the so far unreleased song „The Ride“ and a slight rougher demo version of „Magic Sphere“. The sequence of the songs here is different as on the CD from 1998. It starts with „Officer Pearson“, an unique Mod Psych Pop song, which bring you straight to the SciFi worlds of the seventies. Beside of strong R&B Mod Beat tracks there are consequently those trips into psychedelic dreams and fantasy worlds, without given up to much the down-to-earth attitude. The LP is limited to 200 copies, 50 of them in transparent vinyl, 50 in marbled vinyl and 100 on black wax.
The best re-issue of the year!"

After Dizzy´s "Completely Perfect" DoLP on Detour is sold out since a while the first Giffer LP/CD here is also out of stock now. I remember well extensively gigging Berlin around every 4 month (6 times between end of 2009 and early 2012). Always sharing the stage with THE NOT AMUSED and/or THE PIKES.

"... Jam Division ..."
"... they surprise again with their unique and varied sound of Pop Punk and 79er Mod Revival, with an overlying black cloud of Post-punk melancholy and French Cold Wave darkness..."
"... but the framework is still Powerpop or Mod Revival- Sound from bands as Long Tall Shorty, The Chords, Purple Hearts or early The Jam... "
"... with this exceptional melange of two from Punk born and influenced music genres, from the late 70´s and early 80´s, they are pretty unique in the current scene... "

All 5 records are out now ! Here we go with the 2nd video by The Gift.

Finally! the new label website is online but not yet completed. I will add bit by bit more lines, photos, videos, flyers from the bands, e.g. the Giffers from London or The Riots, WTC... In any case, i hope you like it.

A lot of the previously releases are gone, so it´s time for some new records. To be precise, 5 pieces will hit the streets on 18th May:

BJ´S NEW BREED, feat. label- mates since the begin, with a new smashing Freakbeat 7“ -

DUKES OF HAMBURG with another classic LP -
