In addition, we are releasing Pedals, the second and final studio album by post-harcode legends Rival Schools. A few facts about this release:
- Did you know that Pedals was released ten years after their debut album 'United By Fate' was released, due to a (temporary) band breakup?
- Rival School's drummer Sammy Siegler has also played in Limp Bizkit and Gorilla Biscuits.
- Rival Schools wrote a third album, 'Found'. The album was initially written and recorded as the intended follow-up to 'United By Fate', but the band split up before completing the release and it was ultimately shelved.
- The band was formed by frontman Walter Schreifels, who is also known as the frontman of hightly-influential Quicksand and Gorilla Biscuits.
Below, you will find a complete overview of all our releases this week.

De Nederlandse pop groep Doe Maar verovert al harten sinds eind jaren '70. Met invloeden uit de ska, punk en reggae ontstond er een eigen Nederpop geluid.
