Interview #1: The Spanish Skinhead Magazine interviewed us for their seventh English issue. The full-color, 24-page zine features interviews with Stato Asociale from Trento, Italy and Libertin from the Ruhr in Germany. There's also an article about the fourth Fest der Völker in Pößneck and another one about a show with Repudiados, Post Mortem, Dramatic Battle, Legittima Offesa, Hate for Breakfast and Gesta Bellica in Castile.
The issue comes with one of 250 CD-R copies of the compilation "Somos Como Somos Vol. 2" by Othalaz Records. It features songs by: Prisionero № 7, Irminsul, Pagan Korps, Kasus Belli, Arma Blanca, Iberian Wolves, Núremberg, Traje de Armas, Los Rockeros de Cristo Rey, and 9B Rejects.

Interview #2: Omerta Skinzine from Greece interviewed us for their sixth issue. The black and white magazine covers 48 pages. Apart from our interview you can find interviews with Malnatt, Max Resist, Hate for Breakfast, Invictos, Skinhead Magazine, Snake Eggs, The Gits, Titkolt Ellenállás, and Russki Stjag. Also there are news, articles and reviews. The magazine is entirely in Greek.

Many hardcore and metal albums hit the top of the political charts in Germany. In Greece however they prefered classic skinhead rock 'n' roll in 2009. Autonomo Radio made our latest production "Trotz allem heiter" their Album of the Year. On December 27 the online radio presented our album along with several other really great releases of the last year. (You can download the program here.)

But that's not the end of the story: for their program "Skinhead Superstar" they made a show that covered all of our releases. They played many songs from the early Bootboys stuff to several songs on compilations and last but not least "Trotz allem heiter".

With all the positive feedback in our minds we had no other chance than to accept the invitation to play in Greece for a second time. So last weekend (Saturday, February 6) - backed up by some friends - we hit the road for to play with the local newcomer band Straightline in the Skinhouse Hellas.

After our arrival in the Land of the Hellenes we were welcomed by Greek comrades, who took us through the rainy mainland to Trikala in Thessaly. Though the road took us across snowy mountains, the long trip was quite cheerful with some Mythos and nice conversation with our drivers.
After we had an outstanding and plentiful dinner we headed for the Skinhouse.
We enojoyed the friendly welcome and we had the chance to chat a little with comrades we met there already in 2007. At about 11pm the four guys of Straightline took the stage and played 15 songs, most of them own compositions. Their melodic skinhead rock was well accepted by about 100 people and during songs like "Eonia Sodani" the audience went wild.
Our time had come around midnight. Since there was only Straightline and us scheduled, we were asked to play an extented set. Your wish is our command... the crowd danced and partied during our 23 song set and we were surprised to see some singing our songs, apparently knowing each word by heart. As the crowd wasn't satisfied yet we played an encore of two songs.
Visibly exhausted we left the stage and had the chance to drink some beer and ouzo while talking about the history of Greece, Constantine and the Byzantine Empire and problems of today - or just had some small talk.
Unfortunately even the best night comes to and end, so we headed back to the hotel in the early morning.

Many thanks to all the greek comrades, who took care of us in such a great way and whose hospitality is always overwhelming. (Makis, Kostas, Spiros, Adonis, Kostas again, Zois, and all the others...) Special thanks to our German friends who came with us all the way. And many thank to everybody who came out to party with us!
Ευχαριστώ πολύ!

Εμείς είμαστε η αντίσταση!

Today the website's cms was updated. There were some minor problems that caused the loss of several entries in our guestbook as well as of some comments. If you'd like to, just leave another message in our guestbook.

There is a new (German) article about our gig on August 1st with Ortel, Cynic and Brutal Attack. You can read the full article on AryanMusic. It is a pre-release of a report for a new German zine called "Travelnazi", which will release it's first issue this or next month.

On August 22 we played a show together with Stahlgewitter, Radikahl, Rotte Charlotte, and Libertin in support of the Antikriegstag 2009 in Dortmund. The left wing wannabe journalists and hobby agents had a hard time gathering any information. Top-notch comedy. After all it was a great show and we would like to thank the organizers for their hard work, our comrades who went with us and of course all the guests that came out to have a good time and to support the AKT 2009.
Greetings to all guests and bands we had the chance to talk to.
