NEWS FROM THE HQ

Refoundation is done. Final benefit sale for all the distro items!
6th July 2010

After four intense years it's time to say goodbye to Refoundation. We suddenly realized that this project, this idea, had come to its natural conclusion and that it was impossible for us to carry it on its current form. We might not have realized all that we wanted to, we were probably too naive way back then. However it was a good run and, if you have ever been affected by any song of the bands we released, it was a success.

All the items in the distro are on sale for really really low prices. All the proceeds from this sale will donated to a few groups fighting for animal/earth/humyn liberation


Please checkout www.refoundation.it for the available titles.

The Guilt Show: new video online
7th July 2009

The Guilt Show just posted the video for "Raise My Flag", the opening track for their new album "Before They Know We're all Dead"

Check it out here:




RUN WITH THE HUNTED "EVERYTHING FAMILIAR" out on may 20th, available for preorders!
20th April 2009

We're really happy to announce a new release: this time we're teaming up with Run With The Hunted, a socially and politically charged hardcore band from Phoenix, Arizona. Born in late 2006 from the ashes of other projects, RWTH members decided to create something honest, sincere and, above all else, passionate. Their sound is personal and distinct without fitting any certain preset: drawing influences from a wide range of bands like Indecision, The Hope Conspiracy, Trial, Shai Hulud and The Suicide File, Run with the Hunted seeks to carry forward the flame of intensity and integrity of its predecessors while bringing its own sense of innovation and originality.
After two albums released in the USA, RWTH are ready to bring their proposal to Europe with "Everything Familiar": a nine song album which comprises all the material recorded by the band so far, including the four tracks who appeared on the limited 1-sided 12inch "Destroy All Calendars" on Glory Kid Records. While the newer material clearly shows an evolution in the songwriting, the approach chosen by the band hasn't mutated: mid tempo hardcore, with lots of melodies, breakdowns, and vocals ranging from screams, to spoken vocal parts, to sing alongs.
Though drawing blood from band members' personal experiences, lyrics desperately manifest the band's angst towards modern life in this destructive civilization and the frustrations that it causes, not forgetting their struggle in bringing back radical politics and ideas within a counter-culture that was once a potent threat to mainstream society and oppressive system.

The album will be out on May 20th and will be available on their one-month tour through USA/Canada/Mexico that the band is doing with Anchor. Check out their myspace for the dates.
A European tour is being planned for late winter 09/10, be sure not to miss their intense live sets!

A PREORDER is available for those who cannot check RWTH on their tour: Until May 20th the album will be available for 10 Euro postpaid everywhere in the world! To order just send a mail to: records@refoundation.it

The Guilt Show "Before We Know We're All Dead" full length OUT NOW!
11th January 2009

Refoundation is beginning 2009 with a new exciting release! This time it is the turn of the italian combo THE GUILT SHOW: born from the ashes of well-known italian hardcore outfits of the past such as Summer League and Ivory Cage and featuring former members of The Secret, THE GUILT SHOW was formed in Bologna, Italy during the spring of 2006 with the idea of delivering a good blend of heavy hardcore, taking inspiration from bands from both the past and the modern age: their music can be described as an energetic mix between the mid tempo parts of AMERICAN NIGHTMARE, UNBROKEN, CRO-MAGS. The focus is still on writing the fastest, most uncompromising and groundbreaking songs ever possible. It's all about hardcore in its purest form, with a no-frills attitude, made by veterans of the scene.

BEFORE THEY KNOW WE'RE ALL DEAD consists of 10 tracks: 6 brand new songs recorded in july 2008 and 4 songs who already appeared on their 7" debut "Those who do wrong deserve to be blamed" on Defiant Hearts rec.
The lyrics of the songs written by the band deal with some issues that the hardcore scene seems to have forgotten about nowadays, such as politics and animal rights: this is an album full of anger and disappointment towards society and its horrors like animal exploitation and Israeli occupation in Palestine but also towards a hardcore scene which is more and more apathetic and cares only about trends.

Their idea towards the current hardcore scene is clear: "We're sick and tired of your trendy haircuts, sick of your fashionable tattoos, sick of your bullshit lyrics, sick of YOU. the only thing we care about is playing hardcore as it should be played. period. and by the way, go veg(etari)an!"



CONFRONTO "SANCTUARIUM" vinyl out now!

"DEAD VOWS: Two words giving four individuals a chance to collectively deal with their demons, their pains of modern life and their fear of death. This band is their effort, their search for meaning, inspiration and an honest and energetic expression."

"BAD BLOOD", the band's debut full length manifests determination and hunger, curiousity and urgency throughout all of the 11 songs. This piece of plastic, paper and punkrock passion sounds like THE SWARM blended with REFUSED and RISE & FALL.

If you preorder the album, you'll get it for 10 euro postage-paid.

2) We're really happy to announce our 7th release: another full length, this time from italian band THE GUILT SHOW.
After more than a year playing all over Italy and some shows around Europe, this italian outfit featuring ex members of SUMMER LEAGUE, THE SECRET, NOTONEWORD and IVORY CAGE is ready to release new material.
This album will consist of 10 tracks: 6 new songs and 4 who were already featured in their debut 7" "Those Who Do Wrong Deserve To Be Blamed" released by Defiant Hearts records.
Expect an album full of anger and disappointment towards society and its horrors like animal exploitation and Palestine occupation but also towards a hardcore scene who is more and more apathetic and cares only about trends. If you haven't heard them yet, imagine an energetic mix between AMERICAN NIGHTMARE, UNBROKEN and CRO-MAGS.
The band has already planned 4 shows across central Europe in october together with their labelmates ALONE.
For more informations check their myspace: www.myspace.com/theguiltshow

3) In May we co-released together with DIY CONSPIRACY a split 7" between GARGANTHA and LE TORMENTA. Fast and melodic punk rock in the vein of Propagandhi/Satanic Surfers for the first, and melodic hardcore/metal for the latter while both bands share passion and anger toward the system. We have few copies available, so get yours fast!

4) Until the end of the summer you can buy both our first two releases ("End Of A Season / Many Men Have Tried - Split" and Anchor - Captivity Songs") for only 10 euro, while the single price of each release has been lowered from 8 to 6 euro.
Once again we'll attend the mighty FLUFF FEST and we'll bring our distro with us. Get in touch if you want us to reserve something, if you want to say hi or if you want to challenge us in a soccer match.
Our distro has been updated and many other releases will be available at the end of the month, please check it out.



TEOSTY and ALONE releases out now + distro updates!
23rd March 2008

THE END OF SIX THOUSAND YEARS – Isolation 12"/LP out now!

THE END OF SIX THOUSAND YEARS's debut full length, titled ISOLATION has been released at the end of february. This 12" vinyl is available in 500 copies (150 on clear blue vinyl and 350 on black) at the cost of 10 euro (plus shipping). This release also feature a different artwork from the CD edition (released by Still Life Records).
Expect a totally renewed sound in comparison to their previous split album withi Embrace The End. Isolation consists of 10 tracks of death/black metal heavily influenced by post-hardcore sonorities, furious techical parts and slow and atmospheric tracks. Consider a mix between The Black Dalia Murder, Isis e Mastodon and you still can't match the incredible album offered by TEOSTY.

TEOSTY will embark on a short european tour in May, if you can help them somehow get in touch with them here: www.myspace.com/theendofsixthousandyears

ALONE – Kiss Dreams Goodbye 7" - finally available!

Originally supposed to be out in January, Alone's new seven inch, "KISS DREAMS GOODBYE" has been available only at the end of February due to some printing problems. Pre-orders have already been shipped, and we still have a few copies of the limited edition (100 copies have been printed on red vinyl, while 400 on black).
The new songs are more melodic, neat and elegant than their previous stuff while their formula is still the same: old school hardcore influenced by older acts like Turning Point / Inside Out / Unbroken and newer ones like Verse / Sinking Ships / Stay Gold.
ALONE have just completed a successful european tour with Broken Distance (Portugal, old school hc. Ex-Pointing Finger), and are already looking for new shows and new tours.

ANCHOR - CAPTIVITY SONGS mcd is out!!
4th September 2007

Anchor's debut MCD is finally available for worldwide orders and it will be soon available also at your local distro.
Captivity Songs features 5 incredible and passionate songs between Trial / Strife / Reaching Forward and comes with an enhanced artwork.
As always 1 euro off the price will be donated to those groups who fight for earth, humyn and animal liberation.

Sprung from, and deeply engaged in the independent music community as well as the anarchist and animal liberation-movement of Gothenburg, here's Sweden's new hope; ANCHOR!
Rising from the ruins of sadly missed bands such as DAMAGE CONTROL and SET MY PATH.

Formed, not only to entertain but also to provoke critical thought and inspire action ANCHOR threw themselves into the fray on a 16 day parade through northern europe with Germany's finest, RITUAL only two months after the bands birth.

The music we make can be seen as a natural extension of how all of us are activists in one sense or the other. Be it through playing music, doing fanzines, promoting shows or getting active in local political groups.

ANCHOR's first release, a mcd/7" entitled "Captivity Songs" manifests a band with an alarming need, to not only be creative and scream and shout but more importantly also to reach out and communicate ideas and feelings in an adequate way. We feel that very few bands care to do this.

All of this together makes ANCHOR a band to be reckoned with for a long time in the future. Reinstate your hearts!



Shows page updated! Check it out!
31th May 2007

Hey, we have some big updates in the booking page, regarding the Confronto / Eye Of Judgement tour, plus a new show in July for Backsight / Second combat, so be sure to check the dates and don't miss the gigs!



End Of A Season / Many Men Have Tried split OUT NOW!!
15th May 2007

Today is the day!
after a long time our first release is finally out and can be ordered worldwide.
If you run a webzine or a distro feel free to get in touch with us to review it / to distribute it.
Here are some info:

Our first release is a split between MANY MEN HAVE TRIED from Wien and END OF A SEASON from Reggio Emilia (Italy).
3 songs each bands plus a cover songs of Police as ghost track.

MANY MEN HAVE TRIED is a 5 pieces band from Wien started on 2003 with ex and current members of Nothing Gold Can Stay and AnchorsxUp. They are at their first “official” release after a sold out demo in 2005. MMHT play in a really own and passionate way an aggressive, melodic and refined hc strongly influenced by bands such as SHAI HULUD and UNBROKEN. They present here 3 tracks plus a nice cover song of Police.
www.myspace.com/manymenhavetried

END OF A SEASON is a really underrated reality from northern Italy. Five guys with a great taste for intense, intelligent and powerful music. This is their first official release too. Grown up with “bread and Poison The Well”, they are releasing their most mature result in these 3 tracks demostrating to be at the same level of bands such as 7 ANGELS 7 PLAGUES, early POISON THE WELL, MISERY SIGNALS, early HOPESFALL.
Their metalcore/hardcore formula is distinguished by strong and deep vocals, melodic and elegant guitar riffs, without forgiving some amusing mosh and chugga parts.
Not secondary, their live sets are famous to be really precise, animated and powerful, so we can say for sure this is one of their best qualities.
