CYANIDE PILLS (GB) – Soundtrack to the new cold war

The Cyanide Pills may just be the greatest band in the world… Four full length albums and a live 10″ plus ten 7″ singles so far, the fourth full length album „Soundtrack to the new cold war“ got released on 4th of August 2023, on Damaged Goods again. Think of The Boys, Buzzcocks, The Briefs, Ramones and you are getting the idea.
The Cyanide Pills started life after a few mates, who’d been in bands around the Leeds, England area decided to pool their resources and form the band they all really wanted to be in. This was mid 2008.
Damaged Goods Records London signed the band right away and their debut single ‘Break It Up’ came out in early 2009. Their selftitled debut album got released in 2010. And the rest is history.

GUITAR WOLF (JPN) – Jetrock live in Europe!

“Don’t move needle, just red zone” – this quotation by Guitar Wolf during a recording session shows what Guitar Wolf is all about: Three guys and their dedication to true Rock’n Roll!
In contrast to many other rock bands, Guitar Wolf is truly living the Rock’n Roll lifestyle like no one has ever done before and you can hear that in their songs: Sweat, blood, tears and unfiltered pure energy result in wild and destructive Rock’n Roll anthems! But Rock’n Roll is still not enough for a band like Guitar Wolf and so they launched a whole new genre called „Jet Rock’n Roll“ which depicts best the wild mixture of Punk, Rock and Noise!
Guitar Wolf has gained a cult status all around the world, like no other Japanese band before! Their fierce live performances and apperance in the Trash-Rock’n Roll movie „Wild Zero“ caused a lot of attention all over the world.

SUPERSUCKERS (USA) – Euro Tour 2023

The greatest rock and roll band in the world, the Supersuckers, were founded in 1988 and released their first album “The Smoke of Hell” in 1992 on Seattle’s Sub Pop label. Having now signed with Steamhammer, the band’s 13th album, “Play That Rock ‘n’ Roll”, was released in 2020. The record shows a ruthless, rigorously delivering trio from the very first note that sounds like a reincarnation of Motörhead and lets Lemmy’s aura live on through the croaking voice of his frontman: “Ain’t going to stop until I stop it, ain’t going to let it go until I drop it”.
No band is cooler than the Supersuckers. After excursions into country realms in recent years, they have returned with snotty rawk ‘n’ roll, with a raised middle finger and the typical Supersuckers sound – a bit of country and a lot of Motörhead.
As Lemmy once said: “If you don’t like the Supersuckers, you don’t like Rock-N-Roll.
-Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead

Wick Bambix… goes solo acoustic

Wick Bambix is the founder of Dutch punk band Bambix. The punk powertrio played all over the world including touring Brasil 5 times thus creating a loyal fanbase. Bambix plays songs in which melody thrives. They released 7 albums, one of which came out on Amy Ray’s Daemon Records.
After a hiatus of 5 years it turned out that blood really is thicker than water and fingerpicking has become Wick’s favorite pastime. That is why she decided to record an acoustic album in which the punk attitude leads the country tunes and the punkpop hops along. Sung with a raspy, expressive voice and lyrics about how the world should be.
When playing live, without a wall of sound, Wick goes back to the essentials. Starting out bare bones yet always ending with fists in the air. Kicking ass just the same! Songs of her new album are mixed with the best Bambix songs, the best cover ever and a definitely no wallpaper. Woohoo!
