Tapete Recor

After a two decades of making albums, Downpilot's Paul Hiraga wonders: why would a songwriter write songs if not to make sense of the oddest or most difficult situations we may find ourselves in? With this latest release, "Strange Horses", he attempts to address the challenges of living in a time of such rapid and mystifying change and its effects upon relationships, the physical world itself, and the unfathomable terrain of the psyche.

Barfuss in Scherben - Deutschpunk 1979-1986 [CD]

With "Stadt der blauen Eier - Selected Recordings and Rarities 1980 - 1981", Tapete Records is releasing a retrospective of Korpus Kristi, one of the early punk bands in West Germany that is today, quite unjustly, less well known. Alongside The Wirtschaftswunder and Die Radierer, Korpus Kristi were part of the so-called 'Limburger Pest', which produced some of the most original releases on the West German underground scene in the early 1980s. Spanning a total of 12 tracks, the compilation features single releases, rarities and selected tracks from the 1981 album, finally making the band's brief but remarkable body of work accessible once again.
