Bellini are focused, structured and more rhythmic than ever before. They embody the true spirit of perseverance and punk rock, making uncompromising, honest music strictly for the brutal love of it.

Nicoffeine is a formation from Koblenz (Germany) which was founded by Soheyl Nassary... Their overwhelming and sometimes extreme collective improvisations never make it easy for the listener. You have to follow them onto a savage path to experience the dimensions of this music, which was described by the Revelation-magazine as "exuberant, playful, and barely arranged soundscapes in which you can let go and sink". Beyond any categories Nicoffeine will now continue what they can do best: surprise and polarize… .... After releasing two longplayers and a limited split-12" (clear-vinyl) on Blunoise Records (Troisdorf, Germany) Nicoffeine is currently working on their yet untitled new album. This one was also produced by Guido Lucas and is waiting to be released. Nicoffeine emphasizes on exploring their musical capabilities while keeping up the noisy tradition of Blunoise Records as well as their own.
