Halo - Armonia Para Resistir 7" (ACM019): Update

Halo - Armonia Para Resistir 7" (ACM019) のアップデートも。本作は当初、Acclaim の単独リリースでしたが、メンバーの1人が運営する Catalina Records + いくつかの D.I.Y.レーベルによる共同リリースに変更になりました。リリースは2010年春頃で、300枚プレスの予定。

この Halo の説明をしとこう。かれらはウルグアイ・モンテビデオの反ファシズムをかかげるメロディックなハードコア・パンクだ。そのサウンドはエモーショナルだがアグレッシブである。音楽的には Anomie、Song Of Zarathustra、Peu Etre、Fingerprint、Mohinder らに影響を受けているようだ。2004年にデビュー・シングル "Armonia Para Resistir" のテープ・バージョンを自らの Catalina Records から、7"バージョンを UK の Blackprint Records (現在は消滅) からリリースし、その後いくつかのコンピに参加。くわえ、そのファースト・シングルはいくつかの南米の D.I.Y.レーベルによって再発のテープ&CD-R バージョンがリリースされている。

今回、Acclaim からリリースする本作は現在は廃盤になっているそのデビュー・シングルの7"の再発である。ボーナス・トラック1曲追加しての、ニュー・アートワーク仕様。ちなみに本作はプロ＝チョイスと資本主義をテーマにしたものとなっている。

今後かれらはフランスの Stonehenge Records の反監獄制度をテーマにしたコンピ "More Than Music" に、Oi Polloi (スコットランド)、Seein'Red (オランダ)、I Know (ベラルーシ)、Kobayashi (ドイツ)、Plaine Crasse (フランス)、Witch Hunt (アメリカ)、Protestera (スウェーデン)、Asfixia (スペイン) らと共に参加する予定 (メンツは変更になる可能性あり)。これは第一弾のテーマであった反セクシズムに続く Stonehenge Records のシリーズ・コンピの第二弾である。

ACM006: PROTESTERA / GOTCHA - split 10"

Swedish and Japanese "super" anarcho punk bands. We are really really excited this project, because both bands are one of the best anarcho punk bands in the world, and it's very important that the anarchist resistance strategy of Protestera be translated into Japanese. By the way, for the world's punx who doesn't know Japanese GOTCHA : They are male/female vocaled experimental anarcho-punk band that used the drum-machine now from Fukuoka, and the activity is long in Japan. And they released three tapes (demo, split tape w/Control and "How long will we continute..." tape (same as split tape w/Control) and are participating in two compilations ("Crust Night 2001" comp CD that "Tribal War Asia Records" released, and "Nine-states Chain Strength" comp CD-R that "Koroshino Records" released) by present. Their music keep always changing, and now they play sounds like the "Massive Attack meets Crass meets Conflict"! The lyrics also are very inspirational.
