I think Adorno will never get tired of releasing new records again and again. This time it's a split 7'' with the Belgian sreamo-postrockers The Black Heart Rebellion. This record is definitely better than the splits with Eric Ayotte and Sugartown Carbaret. Try it and buy it!

R.I.P.

Hey folks.
As you can see, this blog is not alive anymore (for some simple reasons).
But I'll have a look at the shoutbox from time to time because of broken-link reports, so that I can reupload them if possible.
I will be still a part of www.music-pirates.org, don't forget to stop by there, we got a lot of good music - over 3600 albums at the moment. And if you want, join our board (if you're a German speaker)!
See ya & stay punk
