RUNNING OUT SIGNS TO PERSPECTIVE!

We're always excited to see when new, young bands scratch the surface and share the same vision like we do. RUNNING OUT, coming from Brabant (The Netherlands) is one of those bands. They've been together since March 2011 and have been playing shows all over Holland and Belgium. Angry, pissed off and in your face is the best way to define their music, inspired by bands like Backtrack, Swamps, No Warning. 

These young wolves (described by some as the new breed of Dutch HC) caught our attention after the online release of their newest EP. We decided to release their debut 5 track EP 'Rather Be In Hell' as a physical copy on April 7th, 2013. Pre-orders are up here! Try to check them out on one of their upcoming shows.

We can proudly announce that we're part of Perspective Records along with A Strength Within, Ashes and 18 Miles. Our EP 'Rather Be In Hell' will be released by Perspective Records on the 7th of April. Perspective Records is a Belgian record label that promotes young hardcore bands with a hunger to spread their music.

18 Miles releases official video clip for "Die Strong".

Check out the official 18 Miles video clip for the song "Die Strong" taken from their upcoming debut album "Darker Times".

Lyrics STD's like a fucking trend  I guess it's part of banging eachothers 'friends'  Nothing but diseases you spread  I guess I should call you rats  They all have their opinions  but no one dares to step in front  They all have their opinions  but no one dares to step in front  Stand strong, die strong  This world is full of cowards, their words are synced  Stand strong, die strong  You don't need anyone to approve what you think  If you are standing alone  Then so fucking be it  Hold your ground  Make 'em fucking beat it  Never step aside  Take this fucking fight  Let no one else take control,  Over your life  You are fucking weak, you can't stand up for yourself  Say what you mean or for once mean what you say  You are pigs fighting for your own grace,  Trust is nothing but a word when words mean nothing  STD's like a fucking trend  I guess it's part of banging eachothers 'friends'  Nothing but diseases you spread  I guess I should call you rats  They all have their opinions  but no one dares to step in front  They all have their opinions  but no have dares to step in front  Fight for nothing but yourself  You egocentric bastard  Fight for nothing but yourself  Fucking piece of shit  You call it friends I call it a cohesion of traitors  Blamed for being fake by the fakers  Hypocrites hanging out with the same  they we're talking 'bout yesterday  When will this ever end?  Someone you can't trust is not a friend

18 MILES SIGNS TO PERSPECTIVE RECORDS!

Everyone, please welcome the newest addition to the Perspective family, 18 MILES! This is our first band from The Netherlands and we are very happy to have them aboard. 18 MILES is a young and refreshing metallic hardcore formation with a distinctive sound and character. When the band was formed in 2010, the band members lived in the smaller towns Uitgeest and Heerhugowaard. For this reason their band name was born. The distance between the separate members was 18 miles. In 2011 they released a first EP called “Lessons”. They did the production and the release of this album completely DIY. Now, almost 2 years later they have finished the recording of their sophomore album called “Darker Times” which is ready for release via Perspective Records on February 16th. “Darker Times” will again be fully produced by vocalist Daan Nieboer. Expect an album containing 11 songs of charging drums, lightning fast riffs and devastating breakdowns. Below you can find their first music video for ‘Pushing Forward’ in co-operation with No Sweat Productions. On 16.02.2013 they will be releasing a second video for "Die Strong". Both tracks will also appear on the upcoming record. All fans are invited to pre-order the album starting today by going to our webshop here. 

18 MILES has planned some release shows for “Darker Times” in The Netherlands and Germany. The official release show will be on 21.02.2013 @ Winston Kingdom in Amsterdam (Facebook event). They are also confirmed for this years “Hageland Punk And Hardcore Fest” in Aarschot and we’ve added them to the line-up of our own “Perspective Fest II” in Leuven. Read the 18 MILES statement below.

BIG UPDATE! We are proud to announce that we've signed to Perspective Records! On February 16th Darker Times will be released by Perspective Records along with our second musicvideo for our track ''Die Strong''. In the meanwhile, go check out Perspective Records and give them a 'like'. For pre-order packages check out www.perspectiverecords.com

A STRENGTH WITHIN - RETROSPECT 2012

A Strength Within just came back from Athens, Greece where they played at the Positively Positive Hardcore Fest with No Turning Back. This will be their last show of 2012. Below you can find the bands end of the year statement.

2012 was a very bussy and insane year for us. We’ve done 4 tours for about 6 weeks in total, have played around 47 shows and drove over 20.000km's to spread our music and message. This band let us see a great part of the world and we are forever greatful with what our scene gives back to us. We have met a lot of new friends and learned a lot of lessons while doing this. We really would like to thank from the bottom of our hearts: our girlfriends for supporting us, our roadies, the bookers and promoters for believing in us, everyone who came out to shows and bougth our merchandise, every single person that gave us a place to sleep or something to eat/drink, everyone that opened his house for us and let us feel at home. Our plans for the future... Tom will be really bussy recording with his other band and we are currently focussing on completing that full length we already talked about. This means that you probably will not see us on stage that much for the first half of 2013. However we are always open for offers for this summer, so get in touch. What can we already say about our new album? Well... it has no title yet. It will contain around 10 songs and will be recorded by Robin Carlo at Safehaven. Six songs are about finished and we already did some pre-recordings. But we will take all our time to finish this album so it can be something we can be very proud of. This will be a next step in our lives and a time to step up as a band. Today we fly in to Athens, Greece to play at the Positively Positive Fest with No Turning Back. This will be our last show of 2012. Keep supporting underground music and touring bands! Have fun during the holidays, keep your loved ones close to you. Peace, Mike, Kevin, Yves and Tom

New song "Jealous Souls" by Ashes!

Ashes just uploaded their first video for their new song (previously unreleased) called "Jealous Souls". 

Learn the lyrics, grab the mic at one of their upcoming shows! Don't sleep on this!

LYRICS

We trade the brightest days, for the blackest nights

All our hope die in sin, our fear will shine in pride

My heart turns to stone, my soul turns to ash

Run away as fast as you can, run away to the darkest depths

Run away to the dark, run away to the dark

There is no way back, no turning back

Time won't heal

Time won't heal

Time won't set things right

Survive, age by age

I lost true, love
