In other label news, Despotz will be working with Minty Fresh Records in America and Aporia Records in Canada to release Swedish lounge-rockers Hellsongs and their album "Hymns in the key of 666".

Pintandwefall are a fiery girl-punk combo from Finland who are slowly, but surely getting the widespread attention they deserve. I know that the first time I heard them, I was immediately won over, I just haven't been as good about pressing the issue as I should. They're kind of like a slightly less-intimidating version of The Bombettes; still tough, but also very cute (though never cloying). One of their (many) charms is their stunting use of language -- I don't think it's so much an ESL thing, I think it's more intentional than that, though their foreignness does indeed help them get away with it. Regardless, the la-la-las and da-doo-das say just as much to me as the actual lyrics, which are beside the point.
