Vit Päls – Blått ett lag
Det är med stor glädje vi idag kan presentera Blått ett lag med Vit Päls, en låt vi släpper i samarbete med MFF-familjen och där alla intäkter går till ett initiativ som går att läsa mer om nedan:
Intäkterna från låten går oavkortat till MFF-familjens nystartade Familjefond, en fond som stöder en stark och positiv supporterkultur samt supporterrelaterade projekt, som Himmelsblå torsdagar. Ett initiativ som siktar på att blicka framåt, tillsammans. Under guldsäsongen 2013 startades Familje-fonden! Vi började samla in pengar på guldmatchen i Borås och kommer att fortsätta under denna säsong. Skänk en slant du med, genom att köpa Vit Päls nya låt ”Blått ett lag” eller sätta in några kronor på BG: 5485-0557 (märk med Familje-fonden).
Anders Wendin med nytt album
Vi har den stora äran att hjälpa Anders Wendin (även känd som Moneybrother) med distribution och lite därtill för hans Dom ska få veta vem dom roat sig med som släpptes idag. Albumet är “utan tvivel det mest personliga, okonstlade och modiga sångaren har presterat” enligt Joacim Persson i Aftonbladet och artisten själv beskriver skivan och övergången till att släppa under eget namn såhär:
Anders Wendin. Så heter jag. Jag fick en syn där jag i framtiden stod i en kö med en bunt artister: Eva, Björn, Lasse och jag, Pengabrorsan. Det lät fjompigt så jag bestämde mig för att köra med Anders Wendin. Då blir det som en debutskiva. Och det är en debutskiva. Min första på svenska där jag skrivit allt material själv.

Danko Jones – GARAGE ROCK!
We’re happy to announce “Danko Jones – GARAGE ROCK! – A COLLECTION OF LOST SONGS FROM 1996 – 1998”.
Contains lost tracks recorded in Toronto, New York and Washington DC between 1996 and 1998. Released on Vinyl, CD and stream/download on April 4th. Pre order now at: http://www.dankojones.com/
“If a band continues past the gesticulation stage, the term “Garage Rock” is usually rendered unusable. Back in the 90′s,the Garage Rock scene, as I knew it, was a warts-and-all approach that favoured low-fi recordings and rudimentary playing over any modicum of musical prowess in order to glean some Rock N’ Roll essence. However, once a band got better at their instruments, songwriting and stage performance, the inevitable crossroads would eventually appear. Deliberately continuing to play against their growing skill would only evolve into a pose. There were a lot of bands who did exactly this in order to sustain scenester favour. We did the opposite.
What you hold in your hands is a document of what we were and where we came from. We didn’t know how to write songs and could barely play but we wanted to be near to the music we loved so badly. We ate, slept and drank this music. We still do. That’s why we have never had to reunite because we’ve never broken up. After 18 years, we’ve stayed the course, got tough when the going did and, above all else, we have never stopped. This album is the proof.”
-Danko Jones
