It was joint-released with our friends at SABOTAGE RECORDS and comprises ten anticlerical yet satanic Pop Punk pearls. Limited to 500 copies. Members of SEDATIVES, CREEPS and STEVE ADAMYK BAND. Catch them on tour in Europe in 2012!
The debut 7" of NY's BRAIN SLUG entitled "Distort New York" is also finally out now! It has five all new tracks of 80's Boston and NY-infected Hardcore Punk. Pardon me for the delay in delivery, but we had issues concerning the reproduction of the sleeves.

Next is CRUSADES - The Sun Is Down LP.
Three new releases out now!
May, 31st 2011
After a small break we're back with three new sick releases. HWR-024 NUKKHAMMER - End It All Now 12" has been delayed for some time but finally made it. I'm afraid the band copies will not make it to CHAOS ON TEJAS FEST though.
Both incredible tapes from 2008 and 2009 put on one full 12". Remastered by Jack Control of SEVERED HEAD OF STATE for complete ear terror treatment. Expect a mind-blowing mixture of classic Japanese Hardcore and burly Raw Punk. Highly recommended! All 500 copies come with ultra-heavy silkscreened jackets and two-sided lyric sheet. 100 on red vinyl.
Before that we had the HWR-027 GOLDUST/CURBBITE - Split 7". Black-soaked, heavy Hardcore in the vein of early INTEGRITY or PULLING TEETH vs. ugly, brutal, down-tuned Stop-and-Go-Hardcore influenced by TRASH TALK, CROSSED OUT and SIEGE. Crushing violence from both German powerhouses. Total illness! Lim. to 500 copies. 300 on black, 100 on red and 100 on clear vinyl.
A couple of days ago HWR-029 ANNOTATION - s/t 7" came in: Ill, new 6-track 7" follow up to their 2007 debut. They pretty much changed their style into more BL'AST, MY WAR-era BLACK FLAG and ANNIHILATION TIME adding a straight, youthful twist rarely heard today. One of the few promising, outstanding bands in Germany right now. 500 copies, 100 on green colored vinyl. All on 4-color heavy cardstock board to the boot.
Order all new releases here: http://www.hardware-records.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=1
As for the older stuff the VOGUE - Pompshit 12" will be repressed really soon along with HWR-030 OMEGAS - Blasts Of Luncay 12". These Canadian fuckheads based in Montreal crank out some of the best current Hardcore Punk. The tests already arrived and sound rad so I expect this to be available around June 15th. I put these on the shop as well, be quick if you need to grab a colored one. They won't last long. You can get a glimse on their stuff here: http://omegas.bandcamp.com/
The first batch of the DEAN DIRG - Verpisst 12" is almost sold out. I'm down to the last 10 copies, but found a couple of orange colored ones of people who never paid available in the store.
Next:
HWR-025 VOGUE - Pompshit 12" repress (June 15th)
HWR-030 OMEGAS - Blasts Of Lunacy 12" (June 15th)
HWR-031 CRUSADES - 12" (July)

New postage rates as of January 2011
December, 31st 2010
The German Post is changing postage rates again. As for international orders overseas shipping has been decreased a lot. Shipping an LP is even cheaper than it is inside Germany now. Amazing but pretty good news if you ask me. On the other hand EU shipping has been increased marginally. Check the table below for more specific info.
Have a great 2011, thanks a lot to everyone who I worked with or ordered stuff from me in the past. Stay in touch and keep your eyes peeled for new stuff on Hardware Records!

THE NOW-DENIAL - Fuck Your Boredom 7" OUT NOW!
October, 3rd 2010
After a decade of destructive existence THE NOW-DENIAL sadly decided to break up. This legacy of a record documents the last three songs ever recorded. One is "Fuck Your Boredom" which might be familiar from their video shot in 2009. Side B contains of the bestial, hard rockin' "Field Kitchen" followed by an unrelenting heavy interpretation of a pretty influential unit from North Eastern U.S.A.! All 600 copies have hand-screened covers. 500 have gold ink on black paper and orange vinyl, 100 on silver in on black paper including mint-green colored wax.
Check out their last two live executions:
Sunday, Oct. 10th @Hafenklang, Hamburg
Saturday, Oct. 16th @Sputnik Café, Münster
Next: VAASKA - Tour 12" & SLANG - Life Made Me Hardcore 12"
VOGUE - Pompshit 12" OUT NOW!
September, 10th 2010
The VOGUE 12" has been dropped for the masses. 11 devastating crushers in about 15 minutes.
1st press of 600 copies. 300 on black wax. 200 on white wax. 100 on white wax w/ silkscreened covers. Get them while they last.
Plenty of folks who grew up with hardcore have since moved onto its noisier or artier or less-traditional cousins. VOGUE's "Pompshit" is sourced in the early 1980's loose-booty Hardcore-Punk with some hints into the tightly wound treble-spray of early '90s noise-rock. It's an ugly sound - sometimes frenzied and sometimes totally entropic. Unlike so much music in 2010, VOGUE doesn't want to inflate your sense of euphoria. The songs on the record are what you can expect from VOGUE - harsh, raw, unexpected tempo juggling. They want to stub out enthusiasm like a cigarette on a forehead. This album is diverse, but VOGUE ain't no dilettantes. If you like their former stuff you'll love these tracks!
Next: THE NOW-DENIAL - Farewell 7"
SHORT FUSE/CHUCK DAMAGE - Split 7" and KAIVOSURMA 7" OUT NOW!
August, 10th 2010
Two new releases are out now:
HWR-019 SHORT FUSE/CHUCK DAMAGE - Split 7"
Two of Münster's notorious bastards team up for whiplash a of a split. Each three songs, clocking in just under 5 minutes and their best to date.

HWR-022 KAIVOSURMA - Porttiteoria 7"
Raw Finnish Hardcore think 3rd TERVEET KÄDET 7" meets KUOLEMA or SEKUNDA mixed with a slight US-HC twist. Six tracks on 45 rpm incl. a cover of S.O.A. 300 copies total. 200 on black 100 on green vinyl. Split release with my good friend's label called RIGHTEOUS FUCK RECORDS from Münster, Germany.
