Aside of doing the Distribution i run Ruin Nation since 96 as a small Record Label for Bands and folx i´m friends with. It´s not to be seen as a functional thing, just help out when help is due and when i 100% like the stuff and ideas. So, please DO NOT send demo tapes or what ever. Do it yourself! I won´t and can´t release your bands stuff on request as you may see that i´m pretty much filled with ideas of what we could release and publish if i had the bucks to do it (sadly i haven´t !) ! Do it Yourself means alot more to us than three hollow words. I can help you with the production, construction, layout, pressings and distribution (if i like it) so get in touch for that.

[...] other Distributors, Labels, Bands... get in touch for Wholesale rates and Trades. I have to cut down the trade amound a bit due the rise of production costs, but feel free to ask about it whenever you think it may be cool... cheers.

Here´s the start of a Label Discography in a rough Version. Someday i will get this Done and Finished and i will have more Infos of every release here ASAP including complete online MP3 editions of sold out releases. Please watch this space...

CROSS STITCHED EYES • 'II' . CD
2007
Hot on the heels of their debut EP is this CD release, which include said EP (entitled "I " of course) as well as some demo tracks and additional studio recordings. An international three piece consisting of members from the US, Germany and England, CROSS STITCHED EYES pays obvious homage to gloomy UK punk bands of yore like RUDIMENTARY PENI and AMEBIX (especially in the vocals) without sounding overly contrived. With a solid foundation of heavy, pounding drums, dark, driving riffage, and an overall evil/scary ambience, the disc also includes some interesting moments of melody, gothicness, weird ocal and guitar effects, and straight-up punk rock (...) Like the music itself, the high-quality artwork and packaging has a personality of it´s own while retaining the style of this genre. ( Maximum Rocknroll 297 )

Co*release with ACTIVE DISTRIBUTION / UK

INFEKCJA • Kazdy Robotnik. LP
2007
I decided to jump on the release wagon of this fine piece of Polish Crustpunk from the mid nineties by surprise and on a small level with 1/3 of the total Pressing. INFEKCJA along with HOMOMILITIA can be called the frontline of ninties polish crustcore. A heavy Swedish influence compared with the passion of polish rapid guitars, gut wrentching vocals and pounding drums..., a strong DOOM feeling included. This recording is taken from their original Debut "Demo Tape" from the early nineties and was remastered by Smok (Post Regiment) and comes in a beautiful made cardboard sleeve including lyrix, translations and plenty of artwork. Coop between Trujaca Fala, Malarie (Polish wing) and Ruin Nation.

SUBSTANDARD • Discography. LP
2007
Originally release 2003 by Maximum Noise Entertainment in a limited press run, we decided to rerelease it in a new proper sleeve and CD Format as well. Surprisinly MNE came up with an amount of nearly 500 uncovered Vinyl copies from the first press run. So we took these copies and botch together a new sleeve that should be here within the next 3 weeks. SUBSTANDARD was a UK Anarcho Punk band from Nottingham and well known for their manic Live performance and outrageous speed in their style of songwriting... A shredding thrash metallic "punk" soundtrack to support a strong punk political message spitted out by pissed off dual vocals... they released two brilliant Demo Tapes, 3 Split 7" EP´s with NERVES, PINK FLAMINGOS and DETESTATION as well as a own 7" EP. - Included here is everything they did plus compilation tracks and comes with a recycled version of the original Innersleeve as Lyric Sheet / Poster - Limited first press run of max.500 copies.

LOST WORLD • Everythings Said LP
2002
At long last the second full-length LP from German anarcho-punk Lost World has arrived! On this latest offering, they hardly fall short of previous efforts, but in fact take their energetic style to a whole new level. Full on angry hardcore punk/crust, but with plenty of melodic parts to keep it interesting and flowing, and raw female vocals throughout. The lyrics are in German and English and tackle politics in a punk rock perspective, quite often dealign with the shortcomings of our movement. Well worth the wait and highly recommended of course!!!

KORRUPT • Discography DoLP / CD
2008
KORRUPT from Bremen were one of the more outstanding german "deutsch punk" bands of the nineties. musically and lyrically way more interesting, well sorted and way more diverse than most of the other bands of that genre. Two very impressive Fe / Male vocalist and a international Line up including a Saxophone to make their sound even more special. A storng DIY attitude in actions of self promoting and organising made them one of the few bands with german lyrix that toured europe and even the US. This Do LP includes a massive booklet, a shitload of flyers and photos from over the years of the bands existence plus ALL songs from their Double 7" EP, Split EP, "Patridioten" EP, 10" and Compilation tracks... Gatefold Sleeve plus Band Biography. Sheduled now for Summer 06 as we nearly finished the production...

ENDROPHOBIA / A.O.B. • Split MLP
2002
Number two in our serie of so far unreleased productions, despite the fact, this one is still in the pipeline of our release shedule BUT it´s pretty unsure if i´m going to make it or not ! - 1999´s Studio Session of AOB with 5 unreleased tracks plus the 4 tracks by Endrophobia that are included on the US 7" release. So this was planned as European version - Endro´s sound quality is total shit and i was not really happy to include that...and there plans were a bit of confusing as well - AOB decided to split up... and we had to redo the vocal bits...so it never happen. this one was planned to be a benefit for Genoa Solidarity groups as well as Bollox 009... - Bang out of Order...

JENIGER • S/T LP
2002
This has been one of my favorites all winter. The only problem that i have had is that i always think there is a big dustball on my turntable needel mid-way thru this record and i came to realize it was something in the recording. HOWEVER, even that doesn´t get in the way how fuckin awesome this record is.These guys are from Germany and they play heavy brooding kind of krusty punk hardcore.Power packed and heavy with a galloping and pummeling style. Weaving with layered guitars and raspy vocals.The lyrics are printed on the back cover sleeve.Kinda touch of HHiG or From ashes rise, without sounding too much like either.Jeniger have the dark heavy throbbing sound down and they also rock hard with a driving energy. I fuckin love it! - ***** (Slug & Lettuce)

DIASPORA • Gaikkodibehtet Muvrrat Vuolas LP
1999
Sixteen tracks of some of the hands-down most angry and stridently political punk and an awesome new sound from Finland that combines the best elements from such notable modern European bands such as Lost World, Scatha, Fleas and Lice, etc. A gruff female vocalist belts out incredibly thought-provoking and inspiring lyrics (all in English) over a back drop of raging punk that kicks your ass again and again. Highly recommended is a severe understatement! (Dan / Profane Existence # 38)

SCUM BRIGADE / KONTROVERS • Split EP
1997
This one was sheduled for release in 1997. Due the fact the we had a pretty good relation ship with the "Scum Brigade" posse we offered them to decide wich other band should be included and they choose "Kontrovers" also from Sweden and quite new at theis time. - 1 1/2 years later we recieved a Audio Tape Master in a wacky sound quality from Kontrovers with the info to "Download" their logo from their Website. - Then, Scum Brigades new recordings wasn´t that quality either, as the band said... - so, we decided to drop this one until theres a bit of more progress within the actions of the bands. Artwork was never send from both... Scum Brigade split up and we buried this release as Bollox 04 and 05 were already released... I still have the Master CD from Scum Brigade plus the tape from Kontrovers and will check a possible MP3 version later!

JUGGLING JUGULARS / A.O.B. • Split EP
1997
AOB are from Germany and play a style of Stokenewington / Hackney influenced heavy Crustcore that would please any fan of DREAD MESSIAH or COITUS. The lyrix for their two tracks are in English ( in fact they sound like an english band ) and are totally political. JUGGLING JUGULARS are from Finland and this is their first new material since their "New Toys" session. True to their previous offerings, they have a sound that would fall into "traditional 80`ties Hardcore aera of the punk music spectrum. The Lyrix of four of their five songs are in Englsih, with political themes troughout, and some song even about the Police Riot ath the "Black and Green" days Festival ( in Tampere / Finland 98 ), in which their Drummer was arrested for baring his Ass to the Police cameras.

ANGER OF BACTERIAS • Stop to Sorrow. LP
1996
This is pretty good stuff. Really covering a lot of important political issues. Musically, they definately know what they're doing. It's mid paced and not exactly raging, but it's punk and will never even come close to touching somthing close to melodic. These folks are from Germany yet sing in English, which for me personally is nice 'cause I can understand what he's saying. (Profane Existence)
