Jenny Woo

Jenny Woo, born and raised in Alberta Canada, has played with a number of Canadian punk and oi! bands over the last ten years. Although she has always been inspired by the sound and style of traditional oi! music, Jenny wanted to bring something new and distinctive to the subculture. Though the songs she originally wrote were softer and were influenced by alternative country and Canadian folk, they had the same heart and soul of subculture music and Jenny was confident that they could find some place in the skinhead scene. 
True to Jenny’s original vision, her debut record blends traditional Canadian folk music with the strength and power of good old fashioned oi!. While the album is definitely influenced by bands in both genres, it is truly unlike any album that has been cut before. Jenny Woo has always been, and always will be, against racism and unjust oppression - both inside and outside the scene.

Crimen

Crimen - The idea for this band comes to be on April 24 2008, during a gig in Mexico city and with a couple of beers inside us. One week later, on may 4th we get together to drink a bottle of vodka and write some punk songs in the process. right there we knew we had something that we liked, overcoming the difficult phase of “drunk talk band” to becoming an actual musical project.The idea always was to do something different than what we do in our other bands and pay tribute to all those bands we love, honoring the influences of our influences without complications, 3 friends doing the only thing we know how to do more or less ok. This is CRIMEN (crime).
2009 - Demo
2010 - Es Una Vil Mentira Que Todo Va A Estar Mejor

Die My Darling

Die My Darling is a 4 piece melodic hardcore/crust band from Belarus. They begin playing in March 2011. Guys live in different towns and rehearsels are not often but in spite of that they've released great 5-songs EP. It was recorded for 3 hours at small studio. Budget = $12. The record is not perfect and it's obvious but the sound has solid energy and vocals are rude and bold. All the members apart of DMD played in various bands from pop punk to alternative and it's the main reason why the sound is so catchy. Lyrics are full of politics. Belorussian stage is pretty extraordinary so don't pass by!

Smart Cops

The way Smart Cops play could be described as a rally cry to social alienation with a mixture of sarcasm, rebellion, self-pity and paranoia. It’s weird, simple and to the point. Their sound is defined by crunchy guitars and obsessive drum beats. Smart Cops are going to polyphonically dent your ear drums, rhythmically roust you until your brain spins and steamcomes screaming out of your navel. As the poet said. Their weapon? This here record. Rise up, it's time for a revolution!  
2009 - Cominciare A Vivere 7''/One sided 7''
2011 - Per proteggere e servire
