"beast one / man nil" is finally here! Menfolk’s long awaited sequel to the massive debut, "Colossus" is an intense orgy of guitar feedback, twisted drum beats and fierce texts about life and death. Menfolk are better, louder, and angrier than ever. Still not giving a damn about musical trends, still not sucking up to anyone. Menfolk do as they please. It sounds fantastic. Hell ahoi! 

You can get the album as Digital Download(both MP3 and 24-bit"better than cd"quality) or as Vinyl(180g + download included).  Next chance to catch one of Menfolk´s rare live concerts is on June 19th together with label-mates OBSTACLES @ Lades.

2010 is promising to be a great year for Play/Rec with new signings and amazing releases lined up by Menfolk, Obstacles and Trust. While we eagerly await the outcome of all their hard studio work it is time to look back and reintroduce some goodies from the past. It’s been nine years since we launched Play/Rec with a compilation featuring four young, very ambitious rock bands. Only one of them, Barra Head, remains intact, if not exactly active, to this day. Nine years is a long time. Stock has been damaged over time, and some of our early releases have long been sold out. Now you have the chance to listen to these albums again. Over the following weeks we’ll upload our entire catalogue to Klicktrack. Check out pre-Blues Moderne Lack, the Danish Mount Eerie - Janosch, the album debut of Barra Head, or Menfolk with “all needles on red”. Buried treasure indeed. Dig.

New downloads will be announced at our Facebook and Twitter.

We welcome four fine gentlemen into the family we call Play/Rec. Obstacles is an instrumental rock quartet playing complex rock music with an incredible energy. Drums, bass, guitar and keys might be a classic instrumentation but Obstacles sounds nothing like classic rock. This is unpredictable, challenging and catchy as hell.
 
Obstacles has released one EP ("Decomposition of Movement") and two 7"´s("Obstacles" and "Obstacles/Auxes") on different labels and they quickly caught our attention. We have tried to catch as many Obstacles live shows as possible, because we soon found out that Obstacles live shows are not to be missed. Not only is this a tight unit - to a level that is almost scary - Obstacles can also create a engaging vibe which is not often seen on the so called "Indierock scene" today. We have found ourselves with our fists in the air dancing to a sick 5/7 drum beat... It takes a good band to make us do that!
 
For years we have talked about someday popping the question about working together. When we heard the band were finally preparing the full lenght debut we didn´t hesitate to ask if they wanted to join Play/Rec. We´re absolutely thrilled they said yes!

Full lenght album is planned for release in late august 2010. European tour in august and september 2010. Live in Copenhagen with label mates Trust at Loppen in CPH on friday March 13.

Play/Rec is extremely proud to announce that Copenhagen based band, Trust, is joining the label. Trust consist of Henrik W. Hald and Lars B. Laursen and the two guys have caused quite a fuzz here in Copenhagen since they formed Trust only a year ago. People who have seen Trust live or heard the debut 7" know that this is a talented two-piece indeed. We feel lucky that the band has chosen Play/Rec as the label on the forthcoming debut album. It will be recorded in the beginning of 2010 and released sometime around June. The album will be recorded, mixed and produced by Jakob Reichert Nielsen (Lack, Menfolk, Obstacles, Rising a.o.). Check out Trust on MySpace

Marvins Revolt have decided to say goodnight. We have really had a great time working with the band, but sadly everything has an end. Hope that this does not mean that this is the last music we have heard from these three talented guys and that they will find inspiration in other musical projects.

Read the statement from the band here.

We have now reached the end of our daily streaming event and all four digital EPs from Adam McCormacks "Home Recordings 2006-2009" series have been released. Samples from each record are still streaming HERE. We hope you have enjoyed listening to the songs, but now the only thing left for you is to go BUY the EP´s for the incredible price of 1,5€/2$/10KR each
