Lots of stuff in the works!

Hello and welcome back people from the universe, this is Raz speaking thru the media to every single soul that's interested in some news, or at least is bored enough to read this thing. First of all thank you for all the downloads of our new EP "Part II: Generic" so much love! I'm really sorry for making it the second release that we're selling, but there's a lot of links with FREE downloads of that release, Nacion Libre, Riot Ska & our own personal link in mediafire (click for your FREE download) and if you can pay the damn $2.00 usd please pay for it! All the incomes really help this going somewhere! 

 

What's new? Im working on the last songs you'll hear from AV in a while, another EP? Split? Who knows, but I'm sure you'll love this ones, featured spots aswell! :) Once that’s done, we’ll take a well deserved break from studio and play shows like mad men! Also a new comp by Nacion Libre is out and it features a brand new AV song called "Broken London" feat my brother Jim(e) from Body Lice (Body Lice just released a new record, download it Here!) so be sure to grab a copy of the compilation, cuz well it's FREE and has a lot of good friends and amazing bands from Mexico! What else... Oh we'll be featured in the Infested Records compilation: Music to Bleed to vol. 3! Thank you! You got us there too! Lots of friends on that one too, Night Gaunts (we.did a song with them in our new EP) Prowler & Dead Rejects! It drops on October 31st so be sure to grab a copy & pre-order it HERE!

That’s pretty much all AV related news, but there’s a bunch of stuff that you wouldn’t believe! I’m working on the new From The Cradle To The Rave Track! That’s right! The Venomous Ravers are back with Vampiros (Vampires part 2) This time C-Rave feat. Anti-Venöm! It will blow yer head off once you listen to the fearless riotsteppah killahz on action! I’m also recording and producing two good friends of mine and I make guess spots on both projects, one in vocals and the other one with guitars! Isn’t that great!? Plenty of works in progress, I’ll make sure you listen to it! 

What else… I’m working on the new Ben Reilly LP as we speak! If you don’t know about that thing, be sure to check it out! It’s my alter ego in electronic music like happy hardcore, techno, chiptune and stuff… check it out HERE! Oh, and last but not least, I just got an e-mail from a band from brazil called “Coconut Distroyer” those guys are great!! They send me some demos and since they do not have that much access to the computer I will help em get their shit going! Sick Crusty Grindcore with female vocals!

 

As many of you know, I do artwork and graphic design for bands, brands and companies for a reasonable price! We work under the name of Misery Art & Design and we’ve made some stuff for Atrocity Solution, Ghetto Blaster, Night Gaunts, C-Rave but right now we’re currently working on the LUVDUMP’s new record artwork! It’s looking great! You can check out some of the stuff we’ve done in HERE and be sure to tell your friends! With that in mind, I’m currently working on new merch for AV too and our new press kit, we’ll post some of that later too!

So… that’s it I guess. Wanna know what I’m currently listening to? Morning Glory’s Poets Were My Heroes, Sum 41’s Sreaming Bloody Murder, Gob’s Muertos Vivos, The Hives Lex Hives and Fukpig’s Belief is the Death of Intelligence! Lot’s of other random stuff too and spanish podcast on the way too! Any new recommendations are welcome!

 

Cheers! x

Part II

Part II:

The image of lies brings void to the surface, just like the artwork of death replacing our summer. I’m sick of these hollow lives, the ones that crave the young, the honest… Plastic lies that will not be broken. When did you left us behind? Didn’t you see we were ahead of you the whole time? The silent sound of inglorious cheers has made you deaf, blind and fragile. You deserve this, we deserve this. But I won’t conform and I won’t look back.

We are generic; we are all the same… We are a bond; we are all born and we’ll die the same way, but I will never surrender, not on myself anymore. Ladies & Gentlemen, this is Anti-Venöm’s Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generik Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generyc Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Gene…

Parte II:

La imagen de la mentira trae vacio a la superficie al igual que la obra de arte que hizo la muerte y reemplazo nuestro verano. Estoy harto de las vidas vacías, las vidas que anhelan ser jóvenes y honestas… Solo son mentiras plásticas que jamás se rompen. ¿Cuándo fue que nos dejaste atrás? ¿No viste que estábamos adelante de ti todo el tiempo? El sonido silencioso de aplausos sin gloria te ha hecho sordo, ciego y frágil. Te mereces esto, nos merecemos esto. Pero yo no me conformo, yo no miro atrás.

Somos genéricos, somos iguales... Estamos entrelazados; nacimos y moriremos de la misma manera, pero yo nunca me rendiré, nunca más. Damas y caballeros, Anti Venöm Presenta;: Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generik Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generyc Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Generic Gene…

MOST LISTENED

Yo what’s up people across the universe? I was feeling like doing something for the blog and in a way to thank your support with Planet of The Apes. Fucking awesome! 

So, here’s a list of 6 of the records I listen the most lately (at least since 2012 started) and a bunch of songs that are always in my mp3 players & what not? I’m doing this cuz, sometimes I wonder (as a fan) “what are my fav artists/bands listening?” And I thought it would be cool to share what I’m listening ATM. So I’m just gonna write a bit of each record and why I like to listen to it a lot! In alphabetical order by artist, this are my most (lately) listened records.

Beatsteaks – 2009 – Limbo Messiah

This one is in fact my favorite Beatsteaks record of all times, it’s perfect. Love each song on this thing and the first time I did listen to it I couldn’t even believe how good those guys had become. Every time I listen to it, I discover new sounds and melodies that I haven’t heard before on it. The lyrics are pretty cool, have ta dig harder to fully achieve the right interpretation for them, cuz this isn’t your direct message beatsteak record/songs. Didn’t really knew about this till a couple of years ago, but this one put these guys as a mainstream euro act, that either means that this one’s really good or really bad, punx! Fav songs: Jane Became Insane, Meantime, Demons Galore & Hail To The Freaks

Capdown – 2001 – Pound for The Sound

Capdown are one of the most influential bands in the skacore scene, at least to me, they’re fairly one of the best bands of the genre I’ve ever had the pleasure to hear. Lots of people may argue “Why this one and not Civil Disobedients?” Well, Pound for The Sound, represents to me the best Capdown you could ever listen to, Civil D is a classic, but this one took their sound really far away from any regular ska punk band and truly achieved something else. I simply love this record, the energy they have on stage, the lyrics and the message they deliver! Fucking amazing band!. Fav songs: Faith No More, What Doesn’t Kill You, Pound for The Sound & Dub2

Devo – 1982 – Oh No! It’s Devo

Oh No! It’s Devo… One of the most creative and intelligent bands that ever existed and this one it’s their definitive record, every song is awesome and these mofos where super pioneers of synths and samplers that still in use today. For all of you AV enthusiast, our cover song Big Mess comes from this record! What can I say, the artwork says it all, spuds! Devo it’s one of my biggest influence when it comes to writing music & lyrics. Beware cuz the De-Evolution is still in progress. Fav Songs: Big Mess, That’s Good, Speed Racer & Peek-a-boo

From The Cradle to The Rave – 2010 – A Nightmare on Wall Street

What can I say that I haven’t said before about this one… INFKTD is by far one of the most talented musicians of the world today and I’m more than proud to be friends with him. This record has no limitations, every song is awesome, Fuck! Riotstep can drive you mad and at the same time make you chill to the max. This record has my gratitude for helping me sleep at nights and for keeping me sane during the days, love it. Fav songs: All Seeing Eye, Murdasound!, Rally Up! Resist & The Bonus Track. GET IT FROM HERE

Sum 41 – 2004 – Chuck

This record is the proof of mixing the right people together for a band, these Canadian kds have never sounded better. Dave Brown shows exactly what Travis Barker does to blink-182, the rest of them know what they’re doing but without them, it isn’t just the same. This record is hard, sad and a mind fucking depressive record. So sad that they’ll never sound the same way, Tom from Gob is great on guitar filling up for Brown, but he better stick to Gob. Fav songs: No Reason, We’re All Too Blame, Open Your Eyes & 88

The Toy Dolls – 1993 – Absurd-Ditties

The Toy Dolls are one of the most underrated bands in the Punk Rock history, Olga delivers his guitar solos as if he’s just fooling around with the guitar, while his weird vocal style flows with the bass and drums in perfect harmony. This record is simply brilliant, one of the masterpieces of the genre, everything’s in there, sick lyrics, sick music, sick band. You know how everybody says that NOFX created the punk rock sound of the 90’s? That’s fucking wrong, the mother fucking Toy Dolls created and perfected that sound. This one’s a must. Fav songs: I’m a Telly Addict!, Toccata Dm, Alec’s Gone, Dez The Demon Decorator

Hope you like those records, that’s what I’m listening right now! Be sure to check em out and share your thoughts! If I‘m not listening to any of those records, I’m listening to any of these songs:

Dynamite Rocket (Rank1 Jasper Batt Jr.) – 2010 – Akira Yamaoka (No More Heroes 2: OST)

I Went On Tour For Ten Years… And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt – 2005 – The Suicide Machines

I’m Alone in The Wilderness – 1977 – Culture

Money Money 2020 – 2003 – The Network

Never Wanted to Dance (The Birthday Massacre Pansy Mix) – 2008 – Mindless Self-Indulgence

Self (Dimension) – 2011 – The Stupid Stupid Henchmen

Superfast Jellyfish (Unicorn Kid Remix) – 2010 – Gorillaz

The Lynch Mob – 2011 – From The Cradle to The Rave

Waterslides! – 2005 – The Aquabats!

X – 2009 – Dead To Me
