OUT NOW @ JSR: ATOMVULKAN BRITZ - PRVILEGOLAND Tape

 Hey folks,

ATOMVULKAN BRITZ-PRIVILEGOLAND

it has been some time since the last post on this blog. But JSR was not lazy (only a bit, because lazyness is necessary for life).

In fact, after quite a long time, I am proud to present a new release on JOHN STEAM RECORDS:

Berlin-based duo ATOMVULKA BRITZ (Sun Ra Bullock - DRUMS, Scary Gary Flanell - BASS) started in 2019 with a lo-fi Demo-EP called ZARYA. 

After that they decided to develop new songs - which lead to or first album PRIVILEGOLAND.

14 Tracks somewhere between Doom, Dub, Punk, Wave, Noise and Cumbia with well sounding titels like 

"Beinbruch der Nacht", "Internal Garten, Uferstraße" or "Ungelernte Kraft" (which was created during an improvisation at the recording sessions).

Limited tape editon of 50 pieces is released by JSR and can be purchased via our bandcamp-page.

Digital elease is provided by the buddies of EDELFAUL RECORDINGS and can be bought on their bandcamp page

 And now enjoy the videos we did to some of the songs of the PRIVILGOLAND-album.

SCREAMING FOR A BETTER FUTURE

Dear friends,

it has taken some time, but a new release on JSR is coming up soon. In cooperation witt Campary records we release the fourth part of the legendary Compilation series SCREAMING FOR A BETTER FUTURE.
Nearly 25 years after the release of the first SFABF-Sampler, a new piece of this DIY-Punk-compilation will be out soon. This is also a benefit compilation for the following projects: KvU Berlin, Linkes Zentrum Duesseldorf and Café Exil Hamburg.
The tracklist features well-known heroes of the international HC-Punk-scene like OI POLLOI (Scotland), DIE SCHWARZEN SCHAFE (Germany), EYE FOR AN EYE (Poland) as a bunch of new and interesting acts as WICKED (Switzerland), LOS DISCKOLOS (Argentina) or THE BRUNETTEZ (Germany).
Mailorders, Distros and Lables are welcome for swaping and trading records!

Punks not old! DIE SCHWARZEN SCHAFE auf JOHN STEAM RECORDS!

Ok, ok, es ist einige Zeit her, seit hier mal was passiert ist. man könnte denken, dieser Blog wäre verwaist - dem ist aber nicht so. JOHN STEAM RECORDS ist immer noch aktiv, nach der großartigen und immer noch erhältlichen LP "Das Stockholmsyndrom" von den Faeroer-Punks 200, stand als nächste Kooperation mit einigen anderen Labels eine neue EP von einer Band an, auf die man sich im Laufe von 30 Jahren Punk-Geschichte immer verlassen konnte:

DIE SCHWARZEN SCHAFE

Für  die, die sie komplett verpasst haben: DSS kommen aus Düsseldorf, sind seit drei Jahrzehnten aus der Punkszene dieses Landes nicht wegzudenken. D.I.Y. war dabei immer die Devise und Sänger Armin quasi der gute Hirte der Schwarzen Schafs-Herde, nämlich derjenige, der immer konstant dabei blieb und auf Campary Records immer neue Platten von den Schafen und befreundeten Bands rausbringt.

Durch fleißige Netzwerkerei von beiden Seiten ist auch JOHN STEAM am neuesten DSS- Werk beteiligt - die 2013er-EP "Revolution" mit drei neuen Songs, die in bester Schwarze-Schafe-Tradition stehen. Das titelgebende "Revolution" ist dabei fast schon ein hymnisches und kämpferisches Stück Punkrock, für die sich die Band gesangliche Unterstützung von gar nicht so unbekannten Gastsaengern der ersten Anarchopunk-Garde wie OI POLLOI, PUNK LUREX OK, ATTENTAT SONORE, NAKED AGGRESSION, EYE FOR AN EYE oder SIN LOGICA geholt hat.

Damit wäre eigentlich schon alles gesagt, außer, dass sich diese EP natürlich allein schon wegen ihres hübschen roten Vinyls lohnt.

MAILORDER and DISTROS - get in touch! JOHN STEAM is always interested in swapping records!

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.
