Brief report from the English ISD Memorial gig

19th September 2009

We arrived only to the second (main) day of this famous event around 3PM. It was not so easy to find the place of the gig, becouse it was in the agricultural area of Rushden close to Northampton. After we payed the 15 pounds for the ticket we were allowed to drive in the large territory behind the pub-house. There was a big event-tent and a place for parking and camping-area as well. Everything looked well organised. The weather was kind to us it was just cloudy there without any rain.

During our first hour we looked around the territory and of course speaking a little bit with friends all across Europe. The conversions become too long with our friends than we entered into the tent when the SNIPER from Finland started to checking the sounds. Inside the tent there were many seller-stands as well, it was good to look around till the begining of Sniper. It was very nice to see this band live after listening their albums so much. We could hear their best songs.

The next memorable band was for me the the Bully Boys. They played excellent with their original guitarist Big Ed. The crowd liked their music very much. I was able to watch the Blackout as well, and they did excellent show, their songs were make the crowd to move a lot, and so on :)

The Brutal Attack made an outstanding gig, the people were all dancing, shouting etc. They were the highlight of this night. After them the White Law played, and at the end of the gig there was around two minutes of silence for the memory of Ian Stuart Donaldson. I wasnt able to get the exact numbers of the attenders, but I think at least 400 people were there or little bit more.

It was a little bit surprise than most of the people were older than 30. Maybe becouse most of the english bands are playing variations of RAC music and this is not so catchy for the younger generation of NS youth of today.

PC records interview

PC records need no introduction. This is the biggest and most active label in Germany. It was originally started around 2000 year, but after some changes “kamerad” Yves became the owner and the main person behind the label and the distro. While other labels are producing just a 2-3 cd’s per year Yves and the team behind the label is doing this just for few weeks time!!! The owner of the label was kind to answer the questions of Revolt NS web zine.

How your normal working day is passing? Please tell us details about the label, the shop and your everyday work.

Starting a little bit later than most of other working people at 8 or 9 with first Post Office visit. Than open the shop, start replying the Mails and working all the orders of the people. Also finally some guys in shop want something ;-) Shop is closed 18.00 and than second time to post office....and that day by day.

Do you often have problems with the authorities, and what is the legal base for their prosecuting when your label is according by the law and you even pay VAT tax?

I had more than 10 raids the last years including the full observation. But nothing big happen till now. I wait for most of trails. I had normal company here, so all is official and I pay tax and all other stuff, which other companies had to do. Most of the stuff I sell is looked by some lawyers also.

Many of PC records cd’s are forbidden by the German state, why is this happening when as far as I know you are using a lawyer who checks the contents of the albums for politically incorrect lyrics?

Yes, but there are 2 styles of that. Most of my CDs are „indiziert“, that’s Censorship for Youth. So I cant sell it official, so mostly the selling is stopped so totally. The second thing is, that the CDs are complete forbidden, which I can go to jail for. That’s the thing, I wait for trials and see what will happen than. I had good lawyers and of course, checked all before. For the „indiziert“ CDs I cant go to jail, just the selling is stopped, which brings many costs with it...

Do you think that the music our scene produce can recruit people for the movement or it’s mostly to entertain people who are already converted into politics?

50/50 i think. Ask yourself, why German government had so much fear because of a so called „Schoolyard“ CD... Not because it’s just „bad crap Nazi music“, no it’s Propaganda and can get people into thinking. But some music also is only stuff for the scene, I think that’s OK. It should not become just this, that’s the important thing in my eyes. Politics and our message are the main thing!

Please tell us some details around one of your latest productions – Gigi und die Braunen stadtmusikanten – Braun ist triumpfand the idea of front cover?

It was build by the layouter. They managed all with the band, I had nothing to do with that, but like that also, haha..

How many copies of a cd you normally press?

Since a few months now only 6-800 copies, cause most of the people download the music... sad but true. Finally one day, they will see what will happen, when no one can finance music....

What do you thing about the crowing hate core scene in Germany and in contrary about the classical skinhead RAC scene which numbers are getting smaller?

No, it just looks so, for people from abroad. The RAC Scene is still the biggest and the HC just in some areas is big. But not mainly everywhere. I listen booth styles, and be mainly a political activist, than member of a subculture.

Your label have just published second book of Mark Green dedicated to ISD and Skrewdriver. What could you tell us about those books and their author? When the English version of “Ian Stuart Donaldson - Rock'n Roll Patriot" will be available?

No plans or dates for that now, cause first I had to get costs in ;-)

Cd’s produced of your label are one of the must downloaded in the net. What do you think about the free mp3 downloading of music from our underground scene?

If people download forbidden stuff, or sold out stuff, absolutely no problem.... but if they upload and download new CDs, they are just wankers for me.... They will see in years, what they had done with that. But I think the most of that people will not be there than....out of scene!

Which are the biggest festivals of patriotic music in Germany and did your label helps out for the organizing of those events?

Rock for Germany (Gera – 5500 people this year!), DS Presse Fest, Fest der Völker & Sachsentag I think. All organized by the NPD. I help a few people there. Good actions I think.

Are there any labels you don’t cooperate with and why?

V7 & H8store / Totenkopfversand – capitalists and ripp offers....

A PC record is based in the city of Chemnitz, which was part of ex DDR under the name of Karl Marx statt. Twenty years after the reunification of Germany, are there still differences between East and West part of the country?

Yes, but who cares....we are one folk, that’s it. Nothing we cant change over the years.

What is your personal opinion about the problems between German and Polish nationalist? Do you think about a possible end of this conflict in nearest future?

I personal had no problem, but finally 85% of the scene has. I think there will be no changes, every one think the other is crap and will still think that in 200 years, when the Muslims or others are Masters of Europe. Thanks for that...

Have you ever been to Eastern Europe? What is your opinion on the scene in this part of Europe?

Many times, and still interest to see more. I had many friends over there and soon we will meet more and more and more... ;-) I really like the folks etc. Most of the people are not so west European influenced which make them much warmer to each other. More comradeship and being there for each other. That’s sadly missed here...

Your final words…what you will like to say to the readers of our web zine?

Thanks a lot for the interest in me and my label. Hope to see you soon somewhere!

Europe awake!


Thanks for the interview, all best wishes to you and your great label!!!

In Review: Fehér Törvény

Name: Fehér Törvény - Szemben a világgal
Label: BHS Service
Style: HC/Metalcore
Tracks: 13 + 1

This cd has been long awaited. Four years after their debut cd, and tons of splits and samplers finally Budapest’s finest HC squad produced a new album. For the last few years band successfully moved from harder RAC to hate core style. To be honest this music is not my “cup of tea” but “Szemben a világgal” is really top class and very well worked album. Music is not the typical boring HC, but has some metal influences, melodic played solos and extremely good drumming. I have only one advice: “Maci "haver", it’s time to start to sing in English so you can reach listeners worldwide”. In addition there is great design of the booklet, including all lyrics and many photos (some of them from their unforgettable gig in Bulgaria) and also a bonus song on track 88. For all interested, you can order this awesome cd from: bhsservice@freemail.hu

Scene news

NADSAT productions released an EP vinyl of the Russian band Antisystem titled “We are the Rus”. Record contains two songs and it’s limited to 500 copies with two different artworks. Order from: http://www.productions.nadsat-magazine.com/

Since their first CD, "Out of control" achieved great success, the band I.C.1 will be heading back into the studio very soon to begin work on their second album. They are also planning on playing a few gigs along the way. But not to fear, the continuing work on the I.C.1 project won't stop the lads from also getting future releases out for their other bands - Razors Edge from the UK and Carpe Diem from Germany. 2010 is officially Razors Edge's 20th year of being together, so Andy & co. have a lot in store for their supporters in celebration for their anniversary.

German PC records are planning to publish a second book from Mark Green dedicated to ISD under the title “Ian Stuart Donaldson - Rock'n Roll Patriot". Like the first one called “Memories” this one will contain a lot of interviews, rare photos and reports from Skrewdriver era. First edition of the book will be in German language only.

STATO ASOCIALE's debut album "Grezzo, stupido & cattivo" will be released on Barracuda Records this September. 13 tracks of nationalist Oi!, including 2 covers of Peggior Amico and English Rose. Band’s myspace: http://www.myspace.com/statoasociale
