Mint Mind released their new Single & Video Contemporary Jaguars! Track is taken from the upcoming album VG+ (out on 10 November 2023).

‘Musically “Contemporary Jaguars” sees Mint Mind venture into a darker pop that captivates the listener from the start with its outlandish sounds. The opening synthesizer melody in combination with the driving rhythms of drums, synth bass and guitar provide a sonic representation of this “other” world. The vocals and music in the verses have a coolness to them where the refrains with their call and response become a tug of war between sad yearning and uplifting. It’s as if the music shifts back and forth between the “beautiful ones” and those who wish to be them.‘

Nachdem die Compilation "Keine Krise kann mich schocken" einige Wellen geschlagen hat, kommt am 1. September ihr neues Album "Punkrock nach Hausfrauenart" raus. Damit gehen sie dann auch gleich auf Tour. 

Östro 430, die ungewollten Role-Models der Ü50-PunkerInnen, teilen wieder aus & prangern an – schmackhaft, nachhaltig & wohl bekömmlich.

After 15 years the band ROBOCOP KRAUS has released a new record. We are really happy to work with this band and these fantastic guys. If you have the chance to see them live: do it!

Auch gerade wieder angefixt worden durch die jüngst erschienene Raritäten-Kompilation „Why Robocop Kraus Became The Love Of My Life“? Die gute Nachricht: Eure Stoßgebete wurden erhört, hier ist die erste neue ROBOCOP KRAUS-Single! Und dann gleich so ein Kracher. Als wären sie nie weg gewesen. „On Repeat“ – so uptempo, so stürmisch, so Robocop Kraus! Punk und Pop, leicht krautig, ein wenig verträumt, eingedampft auf 2:45 Minuten. Textlich ist „On Repeat“ eine Art Hommage an die unerschütterliche Bandchemie der Robos, die auch nach 25 Jahren wie feine Melasse aus ihren Poren tropft. Friendly and also explosive wie ein schlafender Vulkan. Bum Bum Tschak is the beat of the world.

Das Album ist als CD, Vinyl und ltd. transparent Vinyl HIER vorbestellbar.

Finally, the new record "The Candle And The Flame" by Robert Forster ist out.

We are incredibly happy with the reception of Robert Forsters "The Candle and the Flame" so far.

"a set of songs of fragile but defiant beauty" - The Sunday Times

"...this is a record all about not giving in, about the strength of the human spirit and it's uflagging warmth.." - The Daily Telegraph

"Perhaps this generous album's biggest theme is the passge of time and recognising distances travelled" - The Observer

"There are madeleine crumbs all over the nine crisp songs… yet the nostalgia here is unfussy, casually devastating, framed by the joy and poignancy of passing time. The past might be intoxicating but The Candle And The Flame - lucid, conversational, immediate - it's beautifully present in it's moment" - Mojo Magazine

Deeply rooted in the golden era of pop – the 60s – as well as the DIY indie pop scene of the 80s, Duglas and the Bandits created their own sound and style. Humorous, heartfelt and always featuring great melodies. Humorous, heartfelt, great melodies... that's exactly our field of expertise! And so it was surely only a matter of time until we, Tapete Records, finally had the honour of releasing a BMX Bandits album. Welcome aboard! Our first album together is the score for the film "Dreaded Light" – out now!

"Music for the film "Dreaded Light"" is available on CD, LP and DL. Get your copy of the album HERE.

Following the announcement of acclaimed Australian singer – songwriter Robert Forster's 8th solo album ‘The Candle And The Flame’, released on Friday 3rd February 2023, and its first single 'She's A Fighter' comes new single ‘Tender Years’. Written about Karin Bäumler, Robert's wife and musical companion for the last thirty-two years and counting, it's a love declaration of the coolest kind. It is rare enough to hear a love song expressed with such clarity and deep emotional resonance, rarer still to hear one set to such a deliciously funky groove.
