BÖHSE ONKELZ "Heilige lieder" (The famous German band's 1992 album.

DANNY DIABLO & THE VENDETTA "When worlds collide" (The Vendetta are a bunch of angry Italians who like to mix up genres, but who are a hardcore outfit with a few metal and punk cravings. In other words: they are loud. Their new album is a joint effort with American Danny Diablo a.k.a Lord Ezec (of Skarhead fame), and is bursting at the seems with guests from various hardcore and rap bands. Features great some hardcore and tracks with rap mixed in à la Beastie Boys.) 13 EUR

MISANDAO "Proud of the way" (A skinhead band from Beijing, China who play raw, old school Oi! with a definite punk touch.

The CD contains 18 songs, some in (broken) English, some in Chinese and also a PC-video track.) 13 EUR
NOIE WERTE "20" (20 years of Noie Werte and only their 4th full-length. Solid RAC rock like we're used to hear from them as well as the beautiful ballad "Totale leere", the country-like "Plan B" with stand-up bass and saxophone and "Schwarzes licht" where Steffen gets assisted by female vocals.
