John Steam Records - now alive!

Dear friends,
so here we are.
John Steam Records, the label named after a german jack of all trades, got eventually its own base in the wide wide net. Welcome, my friends, have a seat and take a beer.
I am so proud that this could finally happen. One year ago, the idea of releasing records, I mean real records was still another of many ideas in my head - that often become true but also often enough it takes some time.
But  I don't want to bore you with the history of JSR and the connections to other cozy projects like The Renfield-Zine (www.renfield-fanzine.blogspot.com) , Gary Flanell & Ella Chord or the mighty KUNSTKACKE SOUNDSYSTEM.
But some words for the reasons of all this: It might be quite obviously that the reason for starting a label like this is not to get rich in a few days but the idea of publishing records of friends, projects and bands I really appreciate and that are worth to be released.
And - although the first 2 records are punkrock-   
JOHN STEAM RECORDS is not a punkrock-only label.
So far this all went quite well. The first Release of John Stream was the "Asphaltcowboy"-7inch of Berlin-based Punkband in WELTRAUMSCHROTT (which means Space junk) - wonderful, energetic and reflective punkrock with german lyrics and musically influenced by LETHERFACE, SNUFF and DACKELBLUT.
The second release so far is the amazing single of the amazing guy called NEONBONE. A guy who played all instruments for his first 6-Song-7-inch in the studio by himself. And a guy who knows how to write wonderful catchy Pop-Punkrock-anthemns in the way of the RAMONES/M.O.T.O. and Weezer.
More postings about upcoming releases (for example the german edition of "Stokkholmsyndromid", the last record of the Farfoese Punkband 200, or the audiobook of Kreuzberg godfather of Slampoetry DON CHRISCHAN) will come soon.
So I am sure we'll meet again but I hope you understand that I have to leave the flat NOW!
 I mean, it is a sunday afternoon, actually the first real spring sunday afternoon here in Berlin, friends a are calling me for a barbecue at the park, so I have to go outside and give the spring a warm applause for being back. I am sure you understand.
Cheers,
Gary Flanell.
