RELEASES ~ COPENHAARLEM
As the name already gives away, Copenhaarlem is a collaboration between Haarlem based recordlabel Geertruida, and Copenhagen based record labels
It was gnarled and Pad & Pen Records. On one side of this 10" record Haarlem
bands Those Foreign Kids and Treasure of Grundo are featured, the other side features
Himmelschiff Excelisor and The Beardy Durfs from Copenhagen.
The idea for this collaboration originated early in 2012, when Danes Jesper and Marius crashed at the house of Geertruida in Haarlem after they played a show with experimental instrument builder
Yuri Landman in The Hague. During their stay it became obvious that Geertruida's Yannick and Marijn shared a lot of interests and ideas with
the Danes and it was decided there would be a collaboration for a split release. Terms like shitgaze and post-noise were projected at what now has become Copenhaarlem, a noisy and genre defying
split 10" that features four significantly different bands from Haarlem and Copenhagen.

The Sound of Confusion (UK):
"Those Foreign Kids' 'Nude Pollution' is hardcore post-punk with throat-bleeding vocals and guitars that attack you like a hail of bullets."
"'HD Sports Channel & Alphine' is crunching, harsh electo-rock of the variety that Atari Teenage Riot used to make."
"The pace is frenetic and the songs are again twisted and camouflaged by the maelstrom of sonic terrorism."
