Rain Records/Pork Pie CD 02495
Release: 11.5.2007

The Germaicans from Dreseden never took care about being musically "pigeonholed". On their new album "Little Planet" there's hardly enough space for their tremendous variety of styles breaking into 0the well-known Yellow Umbrella orbit of Reggae-, Ska- and Rocksteeady matter.

YELLOW UMBRELLA have a great new record.

Their fifth album features sixteen tracks and presents a wider spectrum than ever before. Not only mastermind Jens Strohschnieder wrote songs, the new band members Alex Buck and Bernard Lanis showed their songwriting skills as well.

Pork Pie CD 02496
Release: 27.4.2007

Whoever has seen DALLAX on stage before , will have hard times to wait, until the band from Tokyo will come on tour again.
These japanese kamikaze high-flyers are bringing their new secret weapon along:
their new album CORE COLOR, which has been attested by the music press already some similar effects like old Clint Eastwood movies: "Picks Off Anything"!
That may sound a bit over the top, but it's not at all. However DALLAX are mercyful enough to cease fire in between for some nice melodic songs for the listeners to recover a bit. Bosstones, Fishbone or Sublime was yesterday - here comes DALLAX !

THE VALKYRIANS / High & Mighty

cover

Pork Pie CD 02494 / LP 05494
Release: 30.3.2007

Finnish bands always have been good for some surprise.
Top notch outfit The Valkyrians however do not sound like the usual finnish dark and heavy rock, but come up with some hot and sunny trad rocksteady and early reggae spiced with some vintage 2 tone tracks. And they know their style incredibly well!

The band from Helsinki started in 2002 and, after their album “High And Mighty” having entered the finnish charts in september 2006 , sold out live show and lots of music awards in Finland, their story of success becomes international now.
