What is this...?
Zeitstrafe is a record label based in Kiel, Germany. Came to life in 2003 because i wanted to release a vinyl single of a band i'm friends with. After that everything just went on, somehow. No masterplan. There still is none. This is not to blow up some ego, prove anything or to join a who's the biggest punkrock/hardcore/indie/whatever motherfucker in town competition. I don't care about getting backslappings and fake hugs from every cool kid in the "scene". Fuck all that shit.
I'm playing in this incredible band. Can we send you our demo?
You can send your demo but don't expect anything. Zeitstrafe is not looking for new bands and will never ever release a record from a band i don't know in person, haven't seen live many times and so on. Zeitstrafe is a network of friends and we mean it. You can send stuff and i will listen to everything but if you're dreaming of a cool label "signing" your band i recommend you to save that postage money.
Want to order some records. How does it work?
First off, i'm not sorry for having no shopping cart. If you want to order something just send an email to post@zeitstrafe.de with all the stuff you'd like to call your own plus your address and we will work out everything easy and quick (details like postage and blablabla). Right?
I'm running a distribution/recordshop/mailorder but haven't got all those beautiful Zeitstrafe releases in stock yet. Can you help me out of this misery?
Shame on you. Really, i mean look at you. How can you live with yourself? It's never too late to change your life into a better direction though so this is how it goes: Just send an email to post@zeitstrafe.de or the nice folks at Cargo Records Germany. We'd be happy to give you all the wholesale information you need.
Are you booking shows? Will you help my band (already mentioned in question two, see above) out with some gigs at some rad bar or something?
No! I used to book shows for some years but that's over. I guess that won't stop bookers and bands sending their annoying and ridiculous emails all day long ... Stop it, c'mon! Are you going to scream some "free dates" into my grave at my fucking funeral?! Every now and then i'm helping out bands that i know and like with shows but that is it. I repeat: Stop it! Sit down! Bad bad band!
After years of ignorance i recognized that some of your bands are actually good. How can i get in touch with them and where's the press kit download section?
Stop looking for that section. It doesn't exist. Poor Zeitstrafe and poor you. For interviews, information, band contacts and all that kind of stuff just check out the Zeitstrafe related bands links. Visit the bands website, get in touch with them and no one gets harmed.
I'd like to get in touch with you. Could you give me some contact information?
