CRI to reissue eight classic Finnish punk seven-inches in 2009, more
Combat Rock Industry will be doing a run of eight classic Finnish punk 7" reissues in 2009 starting off with two records from Ratsia in March. Look for more batches of two to come every two months or so thereafter. Also in the works from the label is a special 10th anniversary show planned for May 22, 2010. Obviously, that's still a loooong way off, but they've already confirmed that Endstand and Manifesto Jukebox will reunite for the occasion along with Wasted.
