News stream: T.W.A.T., Angstfabrikk, Batch ID, Guerrilla, Judge: Dred or The Blister Exists

Time has come for another load of old school ebm news, keeping up the news-channel image for this blog. *Insert commercial here: have a sip of Eine Tasse Jäger every day!*

T.W.A.T. continue their Oi! Body Music trend with another two new quality tracks, which you can now listen to on their myspace: "Gaza" and "The Barricades". Let's hope that T.W.A.T. get all the attention they deserve when they play at WGT warm-up on 28. May in Leipzig. The unique and different catchy style of this band is definetly worth everything.

Angstabrikk have released their album "Daneben heißt richtig liegen" and you can buy it and view the track list here. It includes many of the songs you can hear on their space, and interestingly a cover of Dead Kennedys old hit "California Über Alles". This album doesn't entirely present the style Eine Tasse Jäger is about, but some songs like S.W.G.A.C.D.S. will definetly appeal to old school ebm fans. You can see them live in Leipzig, 21. February (that's next weekend).

Guerrilla are preparing for their appearance on Familientreffen 5 this summer, with new tracks on their Myspace. Go there for a taste of more new minimalist old school ebm!

Batch ID are keeping it up with more new material as well: "EBM Girl" is their newest song and you can hear it on Myspace. The band has plans to release an album on their own label soon. While waiting for that to happen, you can download their song "Charterfront" for free here.

Judge: Dred has changed band name to The Blister Exists, and all older material and new album to come will be under this name. "Judge: Dred" had to be dropped because of potential copy right problems, when officially releasing an album on a label. Which should mean that this old school ebm band with their heavy Pouppée Fabrikk worshipping style, should release a debute soon. All hail The Blister Exists!
