WHITE FLAG

White Flag formed in 1982 in Sunnymead, an unincorporated area of California's Inland Empire now called Moreno Valley. They played their first shows that year (the second and third of which were later included on their "S Is For Space – 25th Anniversary De Luxe Edition"). The band recorded two albums that year, "R is for Rocket" and "S is for Space", the latter of which was released in 1983. After... playing numerous shows around California, the band toured Europe for their first time in 1986, and released a Live E.P. from that tour titled "Bleedin' in Sweden".
In 2006 White Flag toured in Italy for the first time. As a souvenir of the group's first visit, they band released a limited edition, hand numbered 8 song 10" vinyl album, on Roma based RARO! Records, entitled "Piangi Con Me", which is now out of print. After touring Italy, in December 2006 White Flag performed two shows in Hollywood, which reunited the very first line-up.[citation needed]
In 2008, the band toured twice Europe, first in March (Germany and Netherlands), and then in June–July they did 23 gigs, including 2 with NOFX and The Adolescents. Some rare gigs in the U.S. with The Germs and Adolescents followed.
In May 2010 the band released the 7" e.p. "Keepers of The Purple Twilight" on Target Earth Records limited to 300 copies. 2010 also saw the release of "Benefit For Cats" on Cupcake Records.
The current lineup featured on the July 2010 vinyl only release "Benefit For Cats" will be performing their first ever Midwest live shows in July 2010, with exclusives shows in Detroit, Cleveland and Chichago, on July 15,16, and 17 respectively. These shows will be record release parties for the new album, as well as the Russian release limited edition 7" e.p. "Two Pack", which is limited to only 100 copies, and is a split release with Russian band Citramons.

VERSUS YOU

We're a four-piece punk band from Luxembourg. Since 2005 we've released some records, seen a few drummers come and go, played a hell of a lot of shows and toured Eastern Europe and Russia twice. Our song writing is highly inspired by Berkeley and Chicago punk bands and shit loads of other 90's punk bands from all over. We try to be honest and true to ourselves and everyone else and sometimes succe...ed and sometimes fail miserably. We're always broke because we put everything we got into this band. The name means absolutely nothing.

IRONY

Irony was born at the end of 2009 in Brussels (Belgium) by Belial and Saami as a crossover project, they were soon joined by Cezary on drums and started to mix up them influences to made something between the 80's hardcore, thrash metal, crust punk and some kidding lyrics to protest against serious bands that are talking about stuff they don't even understand to looks "trve" or "engaged".
