We have a brand new Interactive Forum and we
want everyone to check it out, register as a user, interact with others, advertise etc.
Itīs a very state of the art, sophisticated forum coded in PHP as well as using mySQL to
make it lightening fast (nerd facts). As a registered user (registration is free and takes
a moment) you can send PM (Private Messages), have your own control panel and plenty more.
Over the past week our site got loads of new features and improvements. First of,
thanks to the genius known as Marcus Hamblett the whole site is now in PHP (meaning
it will be much more interactive than before!).
You can now see what bands have got to say in their Journals,
this is where they will post stuff when on tour, some stories for you or whatever they want!
We have a new (fresh) look in our E-Store, you can now
see digital photos of all our releases (its sweet). Want to join our E-Mail & SMS Lists just
look to your left on all pages and sign up! Also if the banners look interesting to you
please visit the sites. Well hope you enjoy these.

I can imagine how amazing these songs will be wow! Also they

If you still haven't heard or got the Fordirelifesake
amazing album, then we have added another 6 reviews
even 2 in German. The word on the street is very exciting and reviews
go something like "The most amazing album I have heard in a
long long time. Just get this cos it is insanely incredible
and unique!" and "I'm astonished and faded away, coz this
one knocked me down! My personal surprise-highlight of the month."
and another "imagine screamo with a Thursday / At the Drive-in
kinda feel."! There you go, we could not have put it better.
I just got back from a very hot (35 degrees) and sunny holiday in
Poland, which was great fun! Maybe I will get some pics up here of it.
OK here goes: all orders are being packed now so don't freak out.
Fordirelifesake takes over Germany -
in 1 day FDLS "10-31-99" gets air play on Liberation Frequency
Radio (thanks Martin) and album review in German
at 11pm.de - everyone from Germany check out
this great site!
I really can't describe to you all how amazing I find this album to be,
and it seems that USA, Europe and Japan are all catching onto
Fordirelifesake.
On a very sad note, I still cannot believe this but one of the
bands that I loved the most have decided to end! Newborn are no more
and this hurts a lot because I love their music and Zoli is one of the
most caring people I have met through music. One of this world's most
passionate bands are gone!
I am writing this update from Poland (holiday) so I thought I drop
a line here. Well Fordirelifesake USA tour has been really
great I have been told. Also Deluge say the rest of their tour
has been amazing so really a big thanks to everyone who came to the
shows. We are still in the process of making arrangements for the
Deluge / Fordirelifesake split CD and it seems we are slowly coming
to some agreements, same for the FDLS Japan & European tours.
We have really been getting a massive increase in orders, so I
want to thank once again everyone who is checking out the bands.
Ohh before I forget, a new internet entertainment music site
is interviewing FDLS right now and hopefully soon we will be able
to show you their really in depth and interesting article.
The shows on the Deluge tour with Darwin have been really amazing.
We have all been having one hell of a time, turnouts been great
and both bands playing some insane sets! (Lets not mention
my accident in Peterborough!). A massive thanks to everyone who
came out to the shows. For everyone in France and Denmark don't miss
the festivals. I got to say the new Deluge
songs sound amazing which will appear on the split with FDLS,
fuck what an incredible band. Also Darwin have impressed me loads!
Tomorrow starts the DELUGE & DARWIN UK tour
so please don't be mad to miss them! After they will play in France
and Denmark. Deluge also have 2 new demo songs on their
website,
check it out for some new tunes! After the tour, Deluge are
going into Bunt Studios (Spot In The Shadow) to record 3 brand
new songs for the split with Fordirelifesake.
Other than that the usual is happening -
Fordirelifesake was
played again on the Hungarian radio with around 5000 listeners!
Wow! Thanks Zoli, you are amazing. If you missed that then
go hear some MP3s.
Fordirelifesake are still tearing
up the US on tour and the news from the
band is that it's going amazing! (They sold all the Skipworth
versions of the album on first 2 days! wow). In touring news we are
planning the FDLS European & Japanese tours
for 2003, so you will definitely get a chance to see them!
For those from Japan, you can get all the Skipworth releases from
the very nice guys at Bloodaxe and Nat Record Store (Tokyo).

everything away! Both bands have booked recording for end of
August so look out for it in November 2k2.

hardcore promise Darwin. The two Dutch forces will bring
their emotional and passionate hardcore across to the UK.
