4. Viva Hate Records shop to be outsourced in September
As we want to make you guys happy with our products and due to the all trouble you had with us we decided not to handle the store by ourselves anymore. There’s just a lack of men power.
In September a new store is going to be launched and a partner is taking care of daily business.
Also – soon, you will be able to send us your opinion about what needs to be changed.
Again we apologize all delays, problems, etc. it wasn’t our intention.
Still we hope you like our releases.


Pintandwefall entire album on myspace!!!

Folks, the garage punk girls of PINTANDWEFALL uploaded their entire HONG KONG, BABY
on myspace – go check it out!

For you Germans, here are some quotes from Magazines:

„Im Spannungsfeld zwischen Hives, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Long Blondes und Operator, Please findet sich mit Leichtigkeit noch ein Eckchen für die unbedarften Dehnübungen von vier unverschämt schamlosen Rock-Novizen, die einem einen unerhörten Minihit nach dem anderen um die Ohren hauen.“
MUSIKEXPRESS 08/10 – 4 Sterne


„Rotzrockig und schräg kommt das zweite Album der finnischen Mädels-Combo daher. Die Songs sind eingängig, die Texte erfrischend anders…Frechheit siegt und macht Lust auf mehr!“
GUITAR
