Three months is too long without updates so I officially apologize for that. So here’s what’s been going on.
- Toured with Critical Point in November and had an awesome time despite the cold. We went to far away places such as Bulgaria and Serbia. It’s crazy! Thanks to everyone that helped out on that tour. You can check some photos on our Facebook page.
- New shirt design by Javi. It looks great doesn’t it? Order it HERE!
- The Out Of Vogue 7″ on clear vinyl is finally available outside the bundle. You can order it HERE!
- Some Critical Point tour leftovers will be added to the webstore soon.
- Slowly updating the online distro.
Hope to have a new update soon.
Thanks for your time.

Here is what the band has to say about themselves:
“Critical Point is a Vegetarian Straight Edge Hardcore band featuring members and former members of: Pointing Finger, New Winds, Time X, Broken Distance, Pressure & Together.
In 2009 the band recorded a 4 song Demo-Tape later released as a 7″ on Salad Days Records and toured for the first time the same year supporting the Broken Distance Farewell European Tour.
In 2011 Critical Point recorded 6 brand new songs for a new 7″ – Trial & Error OUT NOW on Commitment Records from The Netherlands and they’ve already toured Europe last Easter together with Pressure.
If you are into old NYHC bands such as Judge, Project X, Youth Of Today and Side By Side and would like to help a bunch of Straight Edge dudes reaching their 30s with a D.I.Y. show in your local venue, please let us know!!!”
So if you want to book a show for them just send an e-mail here: impactbookings@gmail.com and check out this website for updates as well: www.impactbookings.blogspot.com
The band is also working on new songs for their next release. They should record in early 2012.
Thanks a lot for your time.

SDR06 – OUT OF VOGUE – ST 7″
I’m proud and excited to announce that SDR06 is going to be the debut EP by none other than Out Of Vogue. For those of you living under a rock or the ones that simply missed it, OOV hail from Sweden and feature members of acts such as Abhinanda, Subject To Change, Eyes Shut and Division of Laura Lee among others. The Scandinavian scene always produced, in my humble opinion, the best Euro Hardcore bands and OOV are no exception, with a sound reminiscent of CIV or Uniform Choice.
The pre-orders will start on August 1st.
Releases status
I’ve decided to let everyone know the status of all SDR releases. So let’s get down to business.
SDR01 – Please Die – On This Cross – CDEP/7″
The CD version is long gone, however we still carry some vinyl copies. Both the Dark Green and Clear Green versions are on sale for 3€ and you can grab a transition copy for the first time for 5€, as this ones were only available in the bundle before. Order here.
SDR02 – Not Sorry – Moving On – 7″
The Yellow and all the other transitions are gone, but there are still some blue copies available and fewer black ones. Once it’s gone there won’t be a repress. Order here.
SDR03 – Critical Point – Demo ’09 – 7″
SOLD OUT!
SDR04 – Police & Thieves – Amor y Guerra – 12″ LP
All versions are still available and ON SALE as of right now. Order Here.
SDR05 – Pressure – Your Rage EP – 7″
SOLD OUT! That’s right, all our copies are gone. You can try your luck with any of the other labels involved with this release.

Go Vegetarian II
After a first run of 50 Critical Point ‘Go Vegetarian’ T-Shirts, the design is back with a repress this time of 36 natural colored shirts. Feel free to order one directly from the band’s on-line store here: http://criticalxpoint.bigcartel.com
Also make sure to order the new Trial & Error EP while you’re at it.
Update
It’s been a while since my last update. So the Critical Point / Pressure Tour was awesome. Despite some long drives we all had a really good time. We’d like to thank again all the promoters and all the bands we played with.
I’m also down to the last few copies of SDR05: Pressure – Your Rage EP. The blue version is almost gone and yellow one isn’t far behind. So be quick if you want a copy. I doubt there will be a repress in the future.
Both bands have been kinda laying low since the tour but we should come back in full force shortly.
As for SDR06 there are some possibilities but nothing 100% for now. I’ll keep everyone posted as soon as I know anything.
Thanks for the support.
SDR05 – PRESSURE – YOUR RAGE EP – PRE-ORDERS
So SDR05 is already in the works. As you can see it’s going to be the Pressure’s debut 7″. It makes me very happy to work together with Monument, Refuse and Demons Run Amok to make this release even better.
After a very strong Demo released in 2009 and the first tour supporting Broken Distance, 2010 was spent working on the songs featured on this EP. 2011 Pressure is going to tour together in Critical Point in less than one month. You can check out that tour here
For those of you who haven’t checked out Pressure, you can do so by checking the bandcamp profile.
If you can, please also check out the Facebook Page and the Myspace profile.

Included are 2 songs by each band on the SDR roster along with lyrics for those crucial sing alongs. Feel free to spread the word.
