Bands you should know Part II: Alia

Another German band, this time from Leipzig, a four-piece playing in the vein of mid-90s emo mixed with great instrumental parts. Alia reminds me a lot of Mr Willis Of Ohio, heartfelt German lyrics with lots of drive in their sound.


You can still get their handmade demo CD-Rs all packed in handsewn washrags. The demo contains 6 songs clocking in around 20 minutes, it costs 5 € plus shipping and it is definitely worth listening to it. If you are living in near Leipzig you can check them out live on 20th of february in Mühlkeller together with the also Leipzig based Panta Rhei.

Mr Willis Of Ohio – “Eure Welt” 7 Inch available on brokenglasses

Yes, it took us a long time, but these days martin and his girlfriend are just making the covers of the Mr Willis Of Ohio – “Eure Welt” 7 inch which is sadly their last release as they have played their last show at the Cry Me A River Fest 2008.
The record consists of 4 great songs with lots of political statements, thoughtful lyrics, and everything mixed with their awesome mid-90s style music, i love it.
Each label being part of this release will release the record in their own covers, just as they want to. We decided to make handmade covers with stamps and stuff on it, the diy way as all our releases were meant to be.
Expect the records to be available till the end of next week, if you want one (or possibly more) just get in touch.
