Reflections Newsletter - 1/10/2004 Bars, suicide file, PANIC REUNION[views:7365][posts:2]_______________________________________ [Jan 10,2005 12:39pm - the_reverend ""] Reflections Newsletter January 10, 2004 If you have trouble reading this, check: www.reflectionsrecords.com/newsletter For unsubscribe instructions see bottom of this email. Even though 2004 wasn't exactly the best year in the history of our planet with more wars, more terrorist attacks and threats and then that terrible tsunami disaster in Asia, from a personal and 'business' point of view we can say that last year was again, a very good year for Reflections Records. We've put out a lot of great releases, brought a bunch of bands over to tour Europe , and most importantly, made a lot of new friends! It also was a year where an enormous amount of time was put into the label and we almost felt burnt out at the end of 2004 but now, a few days into 2005 we're all hyped up again and very excited for what the new year will bring. We'd like to take this chance to thank Asice.net for voting us the best European Label 2004. With our brandnew website and online-store (check it out!) we're off for a good start but there's more to come! We have a lot of exciting projects coming up which will be announced soon but here's what's new for now! NEW RELEASES Reaching Forward - The Final Show. DVD Out now! This 40 minute long DVD contains Reaching Forwards last show (multi-camera angle shot), their latest recordings and more. You can order it directly through our online store. We only pressed a limited amount of this DVD and not many of these will end up in stores and/or other mailorders and once they're gone they won't be re-pressed. Get it here! Bars - Introducing. LP In cooperation with Equal Vision Records we're releasing Bars' debut on vinyl! Bars offered up an album that is a stripped-down, sonic onslaught. The debut album is laden with a pissed-off rock n' roll swagger that is as pummeling as it is catchy. Regardless of perspective or expectations, Bars make rock n' roll, and make it explode! Releasedate January 25, Pre-ordering starts today! Get it here! The Suicide File - Some Mistakes You'll Never Stop Paying For. LP In cooperation with Indecision Records, we're very happy to announce we're gonna do the vinyl for the last Suicide File record. This discography contains all their songs from their first 7", split 7"es, compilations and more (most sold out or impossible to find!). The Suicide File has, since their astonishing debut, always been one of our favorite bands and we're absolutely stoked to be able to be involved in the bands legacy. Release date February 15, Pre-ordering starts today! Get it here! Panic - Demo 2001. 7" Panic is confirmed to play a one-off exclusive reunion show at the Arnhem Hardcore Meeting March 26, 2005 (more info underneath). As some sort of celebration Reflections will release Panic's first recordings on a one-sided 7". This will be a one-time pressing of 500 copies and it will be sold at the festival. Any remaining copies (if there are gonna be any.) will be available through our online-store. We however doubt if that will happen. Better be safe than sorry though, so come to the fest! Releasedate: March 26 Daughters / The Chinese Stars - Split The motherfuckers from Daughters return! The sexual intimidation ain't over just yet and we're very proud to announce this special split release with their friends from The Chinese Stars. For us, at Reflections, this is again one of those special releases we're very thrilled about. Two bands, totally different in approach and style of music combined on one release.. Both bands will deliver 2 brandnew songs each. The Chinese Stars will be touring Australia with The Blood Brothers February into March and will be coming over to Europe in April. Releasedate: April 5 Razor Crusade - New 7" Razor Crusade will not only play their asses off in 2005, but will also release a new record before they're gonna concentrate on their somophore album. The band will enter the studio sometime this spring to record two new songs and a very special coversong. Be on the lookout! This will most likely be a limited release in crazy packaging! On another note: their debut full length 'Infinite Water' which just has been released for the North American territory by our good friends from Deathwish Inc was selected as one of the 30 best albums from 2004 according to U.K.'s Big Cheese Magazine. OTHER NEWS... Face Tomorrow helps Asia ! Face Tomorrow decided to start some ebay auctions to help out the people of Asia that got struck by the terrible Tsunami December 25. All proceeds of these auctions will go directly to giro 555, a Dutch fund for the Helporganisations who do a great job in Asia . There's very little we can do sitting safely behind our computers when there's a disaster this big, but all efforts count up. This has about 3 days to go so check their eBay object and bid hard! Reflections Records co-organizes Arnhem Hardcore Meeting March 26 After a succesful first hardcore-festival in the spring of 2004, which was part of the 20th anniversary of the legendary Goudvishal, we teamed up again and decided to go for a second edition.
