Artists Needed for Upcoming UD/Label56 Comp.

It is fairly often we get requests about labels and new artists here at Uprise Direct. As a result, Label 56 and Uprise Direct have decided to collaborate and release a compilation CD focused on artists from the United States in attempt to help to strengthen the domestic scene.

Our united goal is to put it together an album consisting of bands from the United States and release the entire CD by Uprise 2010, in August. Any bands interested in donating tracks for the upcoming release, should send over an original track for us to check out at: UpriseDirectZine@yahoo.com. We will be talking with artists who have previously contacted us, but hope to hear from many new and talented groups. Musically, style is not limited, but quality is a must. Deadline for submissions will be in mid-June, as an exact date will be posted here later.

Ricks Pick- Kill, Baby Kill!- Give It Back Again

It`s been awhile since I`ve posted a pick of the week so I wanted to post up a couple new cd`s that have been turning my ear lately. This one is going to be a bit longer than the previous reviews and from now on I`ll keep them short again. For this week I have to go with the Kill, Baby Kill!- Give It Back Again cd. Anyone that knows me (especially Doug Sacred) knows that KBK has been one of my favorite bands for years even before Dieter`s untimely passing. The Give It Back Again cd is kind of a 3 way split in that it has the songs from their first release which was a split with English Rose (now out of print), the songs from the Give Back The Oi! full length as well as three previously unreleased tracks. I got their split cd when it first came out and it was some excellent in your face aggressive Oi!/ street rock and I loved the band from that point on, so while these songs are all previously released it is great to have them back in print. That fact alone would have been good enough for me... buuuttt as mentioned there are 3 previously unreleased tracks on this cd. I don`t know the origins of these songs as nothing is mentioned about them but they are excellent!! The music is just a little raw (perfect for me), Dieter`s voice is pissed and angry, and the tracks overall match the aggression I haven`t really heard since their debut split. The song Fuck Your System has been getting played over and over that last couple days ha ha.
We have this cd in stock now at Label 56 and it is currently on sale for $12 here. I`d highly recommend this cd if for nothing else than the three unreleased tracks that are included.

Rejected: A Short Essay

Society is sick. It`s pretty evident to anyone who has not become poisoned by it. I see it every day. Normally I just go about my business but from time to time it really gets to me seeing people with potential throw their lives away. When I was younger I was a huge fan of the band Blood For Blood. In fact I always said that they weren`t a band, they were an attitude. It was the world we lived in- the dead end roads, the wasted youth, the hatred and rejection of society that existed in us all. If their lyrics didn`t apply to you then you didn`t truly get it. Myself, I totally related to their lyrics because I was caught up in that mindset when I was younger. I felt lost without a path, nowhere to go, and I lived my life with people who basically had no real direction either.

In society today it`s so easy to go down that dead end road. It`s like driving and missing a turn, you don`t even realize you`re on the wrong road. You just keep going down it further and further getting more and more lost until finally you realize you have to stop, back up and find where you made that wrong turn. Once you back up and look at it you will see the road does have many intersections that will lead to all kinds of different outcomes, you just need to shift gears and be strong enough mentally to go down it. Poisoning your mind and body and having a self-defeatist attitude wrecks that ability. Today I can look down that dead end road and still see many people I used to know sitting there lost, controlled by addiction, etc. I am glad I am not with them.

This article is not in any way an attempt to denigrate Blood For Blood, I still love their music, it is where I came from. I totally understand their message of being “white trash”. We are the expendable population of society. For the elite we are simply here to produce and consume and be thrown away afterwards. They do not want us to succeed and interfere with their agenda. They want to keep us feeling hopeless and defeated, to turn to drugs and self-destructive lifestyles. I understand the band is just relaying their experiences living life on that dead end road, I was there at one time, but there is another road you can take. Today I am on that new road. I still hate and reject large portions of society, but now my hatred and rejection is in the middle. I hate those that seek to destroy us, and I hate seeing people throw their lives away by feeding into it and perpetuating it. I have traded the mindset of lyrics like Blood For Blood`s for those that promote a positive “hate” such as those below. The lyrics are from Teardown`s song Rejected. Likewise with BFB their focus is on the rejection of society, but they do so by encouraging us to better ourselves and reject the ills of society that are used to enslave us. I have heard the founder of Teardown say many times that the key to victory is through introverted improvement and he is exactly right. You really want to spit in societies face? Quit playing into their world, make something of yourself and prove them wrong. Never fucking Surrender!

Teardown- Rejected (From the cd Against The Dying Light)


I`m crawling no more, I`ve rejected your world
I`ve rejected your drugs, Pulled my head from the sand
Gonna stand tall, Gonna rise above all
And never succumb to your mindless ways
Moderation never worked for me
I`ve gotta push everything I see
I can`t quit living and I can`t quit caring
About where I fit in and the world around me
I will strive for victory over your world, you`re useless way of life
Reject the base and persevere
Never give in to this self made strife
Rejected
I won`t live like that, I won`t live like you
Rejected
Find the inner strength to remain fucking true
I`ve tried your way I can`t live like that
I`ve gotta make something of myself
Fucked up time with a fucked up mind, gives no satisfaction in my life
You`re a waste so I won`t waste my breath
It makes it worse because you know what`s right
You don`t care the world`s falling apart
You won`t fight, defeated from the start
Honor and duty have no place in your life, in your selfish heart
I`ve rejected all you have done
Determined to overcome, I`ve fucking won!
Remain True

Jan Peter Interview

As with tradition here at Uprise Direct, we try and bring you a new interview every Sunday as they are available. Below is an interview with Jan Peter that was originally posted at http://whiterockhellas.blogspot.com/

Hi Jan Peter! First to thank you for this small talk. Go about one year from your appearance in our country. What do you remember from that night?

Welcome! The night that the Skinhouse was wonderful and we really liked the atmosphere and the people found there. The truth is that I did not visit Greece again and I wanted some time to be an opportunity to do so. Too bad we did not have time to see several monuments, over a castle in the area (SS mean the Castle of Platamonas). Certainly I have in my plans to travel to your country again sometime! Also do not forget to mention the night before that the live ... The hospitality was amazing you. I do not think it will easily forget what we experienced in Greece, even though we stayed there for only two days.

Are you a guitarist, singer, songwriter and always writing lyrics, participating in Sleipnir but also develop and staff your project. Tell us about all these interests.

I started to write verse several years ago to express my thoughts. Will always be in my mind to develop and music. Today, my main hobbies have to do with Projekt Vril band and solo projects that I have. The Projekt Vril is a politicized metal band, while the more personal my work I try to express some of my own thoughts and situations. Parallels as reported and Sleipnir, but in terms of my involvement today is limited only to concert level.

We have no news from the camp of Sleipnir; last we heard some audio tracks on a split cd with Sturmwehr.

Yes, Marco released this job with singer Sturmwehr. The other band members did not participate in this process. It is now clear that Marco move personnel material with the name of Sleipnir. We have just completed three weeks of recording for the first Project Vril album, so in the Sleipnir, I have to say many things ...

And what about your personal project; will continue with another job? Have something future in the making?

Recorded a rock song for a split EP with the Polish band The Invasion. Soon will be released even by Nadsat Productions. These three pieces, one on each side plus one that we wrote together. Right now I'm in the studio to record some songs with the Russian band Russkij Stjag and even look forward to this release! Always have in mind something comprehensive, but I do not know when to do it ... He wants peace and time to do so, moreover, over half the tracks already exist, but so far only in my mind.

How important do you think that is politically oriented music for the purpose? Is an essential instrument of propaganda today?

Hmm .. Basically I think it is so important in the way I think you raise. Basically I feel that music is a personal development route. Of course good music with clever lyrics can be used as a means of propaganda, we do not deny. But multifunctional so the thing I think. It is much more important to tell people around you what happens in the world today ... For injustice, globalization, the destruction of our land, the loss of our identity, I know what I mean.

I mentioned some of my personal influences your ...

Surely every style that I listen to influences. This is not something specific. To mention some of my favorite bands, I would say the Blood for Blood, Skrewdriver, Skullhead, Kolovrat, Honor, Hassgesang, Meteors, Andre Lüders, Johnny Cash, Bound for Glory, Squadron, ZetaZeroAlfa, Primordial and Bathory ...

Participates in the piece "Haltet stand" in the forthcoming collection "Freedom - Freedom - Liberte - Freiheit - Libertad", which is dedicated to Greek comrades persecuted by the state. Tell us something about your participation is.

I was asked to participate and I accepted immediately. Solidarity me around what happened is given. I hope a happy end to this case.

I mentioned my some of the historical figures you admire.

I have some old German books on Plato. I can not say that I agree wholeheartedly with this, but on the doctrine on the soul I can not disagree. Also studied some years ago by Homer's Iliad, really impressed ...

If tomorrow you had the opportunity to travel in time with a proud past and as cultural achievements, what was it and why?

I believe in the evolution of culture and promoting the soul, so post-mortem on the theories I think I've lived in some way in ancient times or that it will live at some point. Time is just a word and may have some importance in today, but certainly no limits to eternity. Sure I hate this century of decline at every level and I want to live in a world best. But it was my choice of the soul to be born here and now we have to fulfill my mission. However, I wanted to see how my ancestors lived. A life fully connected with Mother Earth! It is so difficult to call this thing where it once was ...

Very well then! Thanks again. The last words your own.

I am grateful to you for your interest, holds up his head and not compromising what happens! In those children experienced the vindictive fury of the state, to stay strong because it can be physically detained, but their spirit will remain forever free. Intellectual Freedom break every chain. Stay strong
