2008-05-23 Karaktermoord / Tunguska split 7"
OK our next project is a split 7" with dutch band Karaktermoord and Irish band Tunguska. Think both heavy and fast. Is going to rule. Recordings are done, artwork is in progress. Not sure when but this should be out soonish. Don't forget the Sprookjeshof 12" is now available.
2008-05-10 Grinding Halt - Sprookjeshof lp out now!
Well, here it is. We're pretty proud on how this turned out. It's heavier than the previous recordings. Lot more noisier as well. This is released with React With Protest and Shove. they should have their copies soon as well.
2008-03-29 Brito 12" is out!
Recorded in january, out in march. Wow, we're learning. Anyway, the Brito 12" is out. If you like your hardcore like Shotmaker and the likes this will be yours. Check out their site for some tunes (see links section). Also the Grinding Halt - Sprookjeshof 12" is at the pressingplant. There's two new songs up on their site as well. Go check it!
2007-12-10 It\'s out..
Thanks, heart on fire, vuur and shove and 'de minnaar' in Groningen for inspiration.
2007-06-20 Sale
Hey ho,loads of 12"s/lp's for sale right now. See the distro section. Vuur recorded their side of the 12" so hopefuly we can put some mp3 up here soon.
2006-11-24 Grinding Halt recordings
Grinding Halt are back from Sing Sing Studios, where they recorded 6 tracks for the upcoming split 12" with Vuur. Wow! Think a combination of the best features of Dystopia, His Hero is Gone, Antischism and Jeniger; heavy, brutal and aggressive without becoming overly metallic, and all the while still carrying that signature Groningen sound. We can't wait to put this one out!
2006-11-01 Vuur/Grinding Halt split 12"
So, more than a year after we released our last record we finaly thought of doing a new one. (yeah, we're diy) The new one will be a split between Grinding Halt and our Belgium brethren from Vuur. GH will record in November and Vuur probably in the beginning of next year so it's still a couple of months to go before this will see the light of day. We'll be releasing this with Heart On Fire records from Belgium and Shove from Italy. This record should rule... or well, that's what we think. Watch this space for updates.
2005-11-23 YES, IT'S OUT!!!
OK, for a change everything went according to plan (very un-diy) and THE LAST MILE - NEW PLASTIC ILLUSIONS lp is ready for orders. So if you'd like this piece of sheer brutality on your recordplayer drop us a line or come and get it from the distro when it's set up. Of course, if you run a label or distro, you can get in touch for possible trades or wholesale. This also means we'll be getting loads of new stuff in for distro, so keep on checking for those fine goodies.
2005-07-31 Next up..
.. is the new thelastmile LP. 14 songs in total, check out 4 new songs in the mp3 section. This will be a co-release as usual.
2005-04-09 nothing new here except..
..some distro additions. As you've read down here, our favorite recordshop is going to close it's doors soon so we bought some of his stock. Go check it out.
2005-02-20 A new year
The new year didn't start too good with the splitups of both Shikari and PCP, and the news that our favourite records-dealer, Pieter from de platenworm, was quitting. Luckily Pieter will continue, but only on a smaller scale, and on a different location.
We also can welcome two new bands; the architect (very metal) and iron cage (post-los asesinos..). Furthermore Grinding halt is in it's fourth incarnation; pascal has quit the band, and we now have 2 bassists, so we're starting all over again. We will try get ready for concerts/recording the following months.
2004-12-24 Update
Ok so not much going on here but we just got huge pile of records in. Go check it and buy buy buy!!..uh yeah.. sorry must be the christmas spirit. Anyway, The South/Hypatia split lp's are in, these are also up for wholesale and trades.
2004-11-14 New site (and this time it's for real).
Welcome to the new site of de Graanrepubliek, label for DIY hardcore-punk. Check back here for our new releases, news about our bands etc. We 'll try to keep this as updated as possible. Check the gigs-section for gigs we are at, it can be handy if you want a record but don't want to pay postage.
We have a 4th release out. Together with Richard from UPS we did the Shikari / Acao Direta split 7”.
We’re still doing the distribution for deadtank records from the US, so distro’s get in touch. We do trades same as with our own releases. Bare in mind we’d like to keep this thing going and don’t want to get stocked with records we can’t sell so we might say no.
We're always interested in releasing bands, so if you want to recommend something, please let us know.
