STILL ILL UPDATE – 4-21-11 (Maundy Thursday)





Finally have some down time to do an update about Still Ill. To those not keeping tab, Still Ill was started sometime last year by the guys behind Non-Compliant Issue (who brought you some really awesome shows) as well as some other individuals who have shared their talent in helping release some crucial hardcore punk music.

We recently pressed another hundred copies of Still Ill 03: Bystorm ‘Lungsod ng mga Patay na Buhay’ CD-R dubbed ‘Summer Edition 2011’ which as you can see from the picture above differs from the “dark” cover of the original release. We chose funky colors for the summer, what else? We still have some copies of this CD-R for trade. Hand-numbered and limited to 100 copies. Just send a message and tell us what you got. We’re also looking for people in the far-flung provinces to have this distributed in your area.

For some upcoming projects, we’re pleased to announce that PLAY will be releasing their new recorded materials with Still Ill. I have heard the new tracks and it is ridiculously awesome! Recording and mixing should be finished in May and will probably be available at the next Pilipinas Fast Fest (ooopss!) along with another surprise release!

Another long-overdue project will see the light of the day as the BIOFEEDBACK Tribute CD will finally see the light of day. Some of the songs for this tribute were recorded 6 – 7 years ago but will finally get the treatment they deserve. Bands included will be The Beauty of Doubt, Piledriver, Feud, Chokecocoi, Prayer of Endurance and Play among others. This will be a joint project with DELUSION OF TERROR and LOVE FROM HATE. If there are any other labels who would like to help out, do contact us.

RUSH IxDx will start recording materials for their upcoming tape and compilations this May and will probably bear fruit some time soon. Expect more fast and hard thrashin this time!

The last update will be with regard to BYSTORM ‘Sumalangitnawa’ CD. Recording will commence this June at POSITIVITY studios and will probably be done in a month’s time. It’s going to be LEGEN…wait for ittt..DARY!

For shows, the Still Ill Crew will be present at the Dead (Aussie) Tour this coming May and the Lipslide one-off show at Malolos City, also this May. Heard about some shows happening in Baguio and Quezon City but more on that later. Keep checkin!
