04.08.08 .:. ADR Joins Crunch Pod

Alter Der Ruine, created in May 2005 by Mike Jenney, caused quite a stir in the Arizona industrial scene after their high-octane debut at Club Asylum in Tucson. Subsequent shows immediately followed, consisting of appearances at Arizona fetish events, various clubs, and the infamous Sadisco* gathering.

A.D.R. has opened for Imperative Reaction,Dismantled, Psyclon 9, Snog, Noise Terror, Still Life Decay, 45 Grave and more. The band's debut album, The Ruine Process, released in August 2006, secured their position as an up and coming artist in the industrial scene.

In late 2007 ADR released their second album State of Ruin, which became an instant success. It proved that they were a force that shouldn't be taken lightly and put them in the forefront as the future of industrial music. In support of "State of Ruin", ADR embarked upon a large North American tour with W.A.S.T.E., leaving a wake of destruction in each city they visited. ADR is currently in the studio working on their third album that will be released on Crunch Pod in Late 2008/ early 2009.

03.04.08 .:. New signing - Bitch Brigade

Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, Bitch Brigade was founded in 2006 by Agr1ppa Cry0fl3sh. Like most projects starting off, Bitch Brigade, was more of an experiment for Agr1ppa, but it has flourished into a strong up-and-comer in the scene.

Blending a mix of Power Noise, Industrial, and Electro pop she has developed a sound that is melodically haunting yet aggressive enough for fans of the harsh side of the musical spectrum. Bitch Brigade is also breaking new ground at Crunch Pod; it is the first all-female project on the label for us. Bitch Brigade's debut album will be released this summer on Crunch Pod.
