SSSP/NO RESISTANCE - 7" OUT NOW!

Wow - it's seems like forever since we last blogged y'all. Busy times at Koi but don't worry we haven't forgotten about you! ok, let's get straight down to business - new limited vinyl!!

So, after a few delays, we finally have the new SSSP/No Resistance 7" in - and it's fuckin' amazing!!
This features the first new material for over 2 years from the hugely popular New York hardcore band SSSP! SSSP (Skinheads Still Scare People) is a now a 5 year old project formed by NYHC veterans Mike Delorenzo (Sheer terror, Kill Your Idols, Celebrity Murders) and Vinnie Value (Kill Your Idols, Warzone, No Redeeming Social Value, Kickstarts). Well, the fellas haven't lost any of their kick ass attitude with their 2 tracks of stomping hardcore/Oi! Loss for Words is a new song penned by Mike and Vinnie and the second song is an great cover version of the Blitz classic - Someone's Gonna Die!

On the flip side of this soon to be classic, is No Resistance, who follow up their debut summer album "Gentlemen Prefer Bombs" with 2 tracks of their old school, melodic punk/Oi! sound. They're a 3 piece punk band from Houston, Texas, who's roots lie in 70's and the early 80's Oi! and the punk rock sound they grew up with. They have recently played with the Business and Oxblood and have more high profile shows coming soon! Their recipe for success? Well, grab yourself some early Bad Brains and The Misfits, blend it with some Buzzcocks, a little Johnny Thunders and then season with some 4 Skins, The Kinks, and Ramones! Creative, melodic, jump-up-and-down fun punk rock!

HUMANIFESTO! NEW CD!

CLICK ARTWORK TO GET THE ALBUM!

Canada’s Humanifesto step to the forefront of Montreal’s burgeoning punk scene with their sophomore release, The Infamous. Unconventional vegans with a good sense of humor, their last release was a tribute to NOFX’s legendary Fuck the Kids 7” (Koi Records), on which the band kept NOFX’s music and vocal melodies, but replaced the lyrics with their own politically charged lyrics.
All 12 tracks here, and the album title, are anagrams of the band’s name. The process might have been different from their first album, A Declaration of Intent, but the result is the same: fast, energetic, and catchy punk on a recording that captures all the intensity of their live shows.

Having shared the stage with notable acts such as Propagandhi and Strike Anywhere, and with a heavy touring schedule already planned for 2010,Humanifesto are sure to inspire and make new fans everywhere they go!

Nice Digi-Pak packaging!

TRACKS: 1. Oh, Meat Is Fun 2. Minute of Ash 3. Some Thai Fun 4. Shout Amen If 5. Oh Faint Muse 6. Us Anthem Of I 7. A Home If Nuts 8. If He Amounts 9. South Famine 10. Him + A Fetus = No 11. So I Hunt Fame 12. Safe In Mouth

His band, The Proud and The Damned, provide a soundtrack to said events with sounds that range from Ennio Morricone to Thrash metal but with this dark, low-keysong, Nick Cave and Johnny Cash are obvious touchstones.
