Current mood:  excited

Yo all,

as you might have seen in our show section already, we planned a trip through Europe in August.

We made some sort of schedule, but it's all open. So get in touch with any ideas you might have. We wanna play anywhere. Going into the distance again.

Period: 11 - 16 August
Travel party: 6 persons.
Backline: We're taking our own backline with us.

Get in touch with us if you can help us out!

Hope to see you all this summer!

Hello world,

Endless Roads

Are you paying attention Spain? Do you recognize the place on the cover? It's the harbour in Gijon. All photos used in the artwork were taken during our trip to Spain early last year.

Oh in case you missed it, a short recap: We recorded an EP with Dirk Miers at De Studio in Asse (BE) at the beginning of this year. Nico van Montfort took care of the mastering at XPZ Sound in Nijmegen (NL). 4 songs of that session will end up on a 7" (no room left for a single second of music without decreasing sound quality) and all 6 of them will make it to the MCD.

With the mastering and artwork being done now and a date for the releaseshow being set, we can finally put up an MP3 and start to take pre-orders. So here we go:

MP3

Into The Distance

Or check it out at our Myspace, http://www.myspace.com/saidanddonehardcore.

RELEASE SHOW

The release show is set for the 7th of June @ Innocent, Hengelo (NL). We're glad we'll be playing the recently renewed Innocent again. We love the place. As for other bands playing, we're working on it, but Tenement Kids (NL) and Mans Ruin (BE) will be there to join the party with us. More info later.

ORDERING INFO

All pre-orders will be shipped before the release show (end of May), so you can learn how to mumble along to the words and put on your dancing shoes for some serious 'move-rehearsels'. All for the show, you have to look good in those pictures right? God forbid if you end up on youtube looking silly. Anyway, the 7" pre-orders will have limited edition (Oooooh) cover artwork and on top of that you will receive a code to download the MP3's. Because we're living in the digital age now.

Prices, postage paid:

7":
1: NL: € 5,50 / Europe: € 6,50 / World: € 9,00
2: NL: € 10,- / Europe: € 12,- / World € 18,-
3 NL: € 14,- / Europe: € 16,- / World € 22,-

MCD:
1: NL: € 7,50 / Europe: € 8,50 / World: € 11,00
2: NL: € 14,- / Europe: € 16,- / World € 22,-
3 NL: € 20,- / Europe: € 22,- / World € 28,-

More copies / distro's? Get in touch for some nice wholesale rates.

Since postage prices are a bitch, it's better if you hook up with some friends and get some multiple copies at once so you all save on shipping costs. Unity, you know. Or you can simply pick up your copy at a show, MCD's will be 6 euro at shows, 7"es will be 4 euro.

But simply put:

PRE-ORDER YOUR 7" COPY NOW! DEW IT!
PRE-ORDER YOUR MCD COPY NOW! DEW IT!

So after a short time of writing new songs, preparing for and recording a new release we're getting geared up again. Full speed ahead. Here's the deal:


ENDLESS ROADS

Maybe you've heard about it already, maybe you didn't, but our upcoming release is called "Endless Roads" and will be released by the great people at Shield Recordings again. We've recorded 6 songs at De Studio in Asse (Belgium) on the 16 and 17th of February. 4 of those will end up on a lovely 7", all 6 of them will end up on the MCD. At the moment we're working on the mastering and artwork. Pre-order information and MP3's will follow in April. Expect a release in May.

For now we can only offer you a small preview/teaser from our trip to the studio. Nothing special, just a compilation of some shots from the studio with the recordings mixed in (please note they're NOT the final masters). It has to do for now though.





UPCOMING SHOWS / INVADING EUROPE AGAIN

We've got the following shows coming up.

Aside from that we're planning a short trip through Europe to visit Spain again. We've had a great time on our first trip and we're hoping for the same kind of experience.

DISTRO

You might have seen that the Pressure Release tapes (a small tape label I'm running) were available from our site for quite some time already, but now we decided to give the whole online distro an update. Aside from the Said And Done & Pressure Release Records (Maaswater Veenlijk tape out! Get it now so you can sell it on E-Bay when they're sold out) stuff we also carry a selection of zines. Get in touch if you want to see your stuff up there. Check it out at www.saidanddone.org/distro.

Time to look back, to reflect.

2007

The first thing we did was releasing our first full length "Everyday", made possible by the great folks of Shield Recordings. We were pretty much blown away by the reactions, really positive reviews from all over the world. So with our record out, we got ourselves in a van and took off into the distance. Spain would be our next stop. Our first trip ever. An amazing experience for sure. Carles from Deathwishteam Girona helped us out greatly on that one, "Leuk skipak!" dude (inside pun, everyone else just ignore this). Read our report about this trip here.

When we got back it was time to play Light The Fuse, the coolest European oldschool hardcore festival by far. We owe Rob bigtime, he even pushed the festival back a week, because we would be in Spain on that date. Now how cool is that? Light The Fuse was amazing, only new upcoming bands from Europe. Who said you need big American headliners to have an amazing show? Rob proved them wrong, year after year. The week after that we got the chance to play with Gang Green at the Goudvishal, a venue that's pretty special to us. We've seen some great bands there. That month we also played our first shows in Germany and Belgium. The crowd made us feel at home right away, good times.

We also played a show with the almighty Merauder in the coolest venue of the Netherlands, Innocent. And we'll never forget a show in our hometown, playing in a bar that normally doesn't do hardcore shows, to people that (most of them) never go to hardcore shows. We didn't know what to expect, but the place went crazy.

2007 also made another dream come true, we were able to hold our own vinyl in our hands. We celebrated this with a releaseshow in both the Netherlands (this show had the most lineup/venue changes EVER, but in the end we ended up playing with Earth Crisis, Losing Streak and Deal With It amongst others at our beloved Innocent again) and Belgium (which we always love to play, scream for us Brugge, uhuh).

With out LP out, it was time to get in the van again. This time our destination was the United Kingdom. First, we made a stop in Belgium though. Jeff, Didier and everyone else that got us that very last-second show, we'll remember. That show showed us all how amazing hardcore can be. Rob Boyce was the one crazy enough to get us over to the UK. Later we learned he not only was crazy enough to do that, but playing Crazy Golf and Guitar Hero with us wasn't a problem either. And he also has the honor to be only one moshing at the amazing PLS MOSH 07 fest. No-one can top that. Read all about it on a little report we wrote here.

Other highlights include the State Of Mind (check that band out people) releaseshow at The Stage (another cool venue!), the honor to play at the 25 years of Lintfabriek party and an uplifting show in Wijhe at the Final Stand demorelease party, crazy times. We also got featured in a couple of cool zines, Rising Tide 1, Face Reality 2 and Keep It Clear 7 to name some. We love zines and if anyone wants to interview us, get in touch, because we'll be more than happy to answer your questions. We also got interviewed for bigger magazines like Aardschok and Rock Tribune. We even got a small part in a national newspaper. And I'm probably forgetting things, oh well...

It wasn't all peace and happiness though. 2007 will also be the year of a lot of venues closing down. Places we loved to play or see shows at. Most importantly hardcore landmarks (and not limited to that) like the Goudvishal in Arnhem (NL) and the Lintfabriek in Kontich (BE). It's a shame places like that are dissapearing. Hopefully good replacements will be found. To end this on a more positive note again though: Innocent in Hengelo (NL), the coolest venue in the Netherlands (if you ask me), is currently reconstructing the place and will open up again in 2008. We can't wait to play there again.

2008

Let's try to look ahead a bit as well, what will 2008 bring us? Well, first of all. A 7" with some new songs. We're currently working on a bunch of new songs. Some of them will be recorded in February, when we'll hit De Studio in Asse (Belgium). Details will be announced later on, but we can't wait to get this recorded and released.

2008 will also mark the end of two cool festivals. Light The Fuse (Netherlands) and Break The Chains (Germany), will be no more after their final editions next year. They're going out with a bang though, so be there. We'll be playing Break The Chains. At Light The Fuse you can find us in the crowd. More importantly: Who's going to take over the torch? A new name, a fresh start? Get it done. If you need a crappy flyer, you'll know where to find me.

Anyway, we're also hoping to find the time to get out of the Netherlands more. To invade some other countries again. If you want us to come over, get in touch. Shows in general actually, we wanna play, anytime, anywhere. We need to plan things out in advance though, because of work/school/internships etc.

2008 will also feature some new Pressure Release Records releases, tapes still aren't dead. Another thing I'm working on at the moment is a zine called "Some Will Never Know". I'm not going to let out more information yet, but be prepared for a lot of words.

While writing this down I really started to realize what an amazing time we actually had this year. I don't know how to thank everyone properly, everyone that helped us out in any way this year, but I'll try it in a simple way: THANKS A LOT! Hope we can count on you in the new year as well. To close this off: Be at the final Lintfabriek show (the youth are getting restless!) and enjoy new year's eve! And most importantly: Keep using your head.

THANKS

First things first. Thanks go out to everyone that made the two releaseshows possible. Jonne & Serge for hooking us up with the show @ Innocent, Hengelo (NL). At first it seemed that the lineup and venue changes would never end, but in the end the show was crazy. Steyaert & Genet Records for the show @ Bargehuis, Brugge (BE). It was great to be in Brugge again. Gert-Jan & Fieke Shield Recordings for hooking us up with the vinyl and investing their time and money in us (they're obviously crazy). Ofcourse all the bands we played with, especially Losing Streak, Deal With It & Sunpower. Great bands, solid dudes. And maybe more important, everyone that showed up, moshed, sang along, nodded their heads, picked up our LP or just stood in the back not caring ;) We had a blast. If anyone has video or picture material, feel free to hook us up!

LEFT-OVERS RELEASE SHOW EDITION / PRE-ORDER EDITION LP'S

To everyone that couldn't make it to the releaseshows or missed out on the pre-orders. Not all hope is lost for you. We have put up a couple of both editions of the LP on our site. You gotta be fast though since we already got some mails about them and we didn't even made it public yet so... We've also put up some new shirts. Lots of color combinations, right in time for the summer.

$$$ELLING UNIT$$$$$$

Distro's should get in touch with Shield Recordings for some nice wholesale rates.

UK

After succesfully invading Spain at the beginning of the year and playing shows in Belgium & Germany, we're now aiming for the United Kingdom. We'll be heading over there in mid-August. We're playing Hull (with Killing Frost a.o.) on the 16th, Newport on the 17th (with Killing Frost + Abandon Ship) and Brighton (PLS MOSH 07) on the 18th. Keep an eye on the site for all the details. Good tips on what to do and where to go in the UK while we're there are appreciated ;)


We're also looking for more shows after the vacation. September, October, November, December. Get in touch and hook us up! We want to play.

For now we're working on new songs and enjoying the summer.

Take care people.

You probably already heard about it. But in case you missed out on all the great lineup, venue changes etc (...) this is all you need to know. I also deleted the old posts on the site (with the old, now incorrect info) and here's the last and final info (I hope so atleast) :

30 JUNE 2007 @ Innocent, Hengelo (NL)
/w Earth Crisis (USA), Eye Of Judgement, Deal With It (UK) & Losing Streak (our friends from BE, check em out!). Doors: 19:00. Entrance €6.

So NOT @ Willemeen, Arnhem. NOT @ The Stage, Arnhem. Bury Your Dead is NOT playing. Neither are Zero Mentality, Reproach or Outlive (check out their demorelease show on the 28th of June @ De Kelder, Amersfoort (NL)!). This is the final lineup and location. Innocent is a really small venue (aside from it being a fucking great venue with great people) and around 98 reservations are made already. I suggest you do the same if you want to come. Just mail to reserveren@innocent.nl. If you do, make sure you're coming though. Nothing shittier than lots of reservations and no people showing up.

4 JULY 2007 @ Bargehuis, Brugge (BE)
/w Sunpower (BE), Psalm (BE), Ruins (BE) & The Brave Do Not Fear The Grave (BE). Doors: 17:00. Entrance €6.

We can't wait to return to Brugge. Our previous show over there was off the hook. We really enjoyed that show. Hope to see all of you there again!


At both shows we'll have limited release show editions of the LP. We'll be including a little surprise with it, but we're not going to tell anything about that just yet. You'll see at the shows. We also have a couple of pre-order editions left that we'll be selling as well (the pre-order page has been taken down by the way) if people are interested.

Aside from the vinyl we'll also have new shirts. Almost summer-time, so you can expect lots of colors. Don't be afraid people. It's okay. Really.

While the CD is out for some time now and getting great reviews (see below for some quotes), we at Shield Recordings are pretty stoked we can finally announce the release of the LP version of Said And Done's "Everyday". The LP features a new design, but no worries, as you can see above the great drawing by Nabbe The Bastard remains.

As for pressing info: There will be 500 LP's pressed. 100 will come on red/black flamed vinyl. 50 of those will be pre-order copies. The other 50 will be release show copies. Both will have different limited sleeves. The other 400 will come on transparant red vinyl. Oh boy!

The release show is set for the 30th of June @ Willemeen, Arnhem. As for other bands playing, take a look at this great diverse lineup: Zero Mentality (DE), Deal With It (UK), Reproach (BE), Tenement Kids, New Morality, Losing Streak (BE), Outlive & Bury Your Dead (USA). Come on over and do the twist with them.

If you didn't check out the CD yet or you want to refresh your memory, here are some MP3's:
Controlled
Use Your Head

ORDERING INFO


Pre-orders will be shipped BEFORE the release show (around the 15th of June), so you can learn the words and practice your precious dancing moves for the show. Oh and we'll throw in a test-press amongst the pre-orders as well. Winner will be selected randomly, no announcements. You'll just find it in the mail. The excitement!

Europe - € 14 ppd for one copy, € 25 for two, € 34 for three copies

REVIEWS


...Everyday reminds you of the glory days of hardcore... Said And Done have the quality and balls to strike hard in a scene that seems to be asleep... - Onno Cro Mag (Aardschok (NL) - April 2007)

Here's a good example how modern hardcore with "sung" vocals should sound...Overall, one of the better Current European hardcore bands... - Dave K. (QuickFix Fanzine (USA) - April 2007)

...Everyday delivers in full...I'm way into it...this is definitely one of the best European hardcore records I've encountered as of late. Great work. - Andrew (Aversionline.com (USA) - April 2007)

A couple of young Dutch kids are single-handedly turing back the clock on hardcore...Despite their age they know how it all sounded in the 80s, and are giving it the right dose of groove and aggression. Personally I'm blown away... Don't miss out on this one. - Martijn Welzen (Mass Movement Magazine (UK))

SAID AND DONE's stand-out characteristic is borne from the shouted lead vocals which manage to be surprisingly melodic and flexible, not unlike MAXIMUM PENALTY, minus the awkward "grooving"...their songwriting is exceptionally strong and Everyday never misses a beat. Solidly recommended. - Jordan A. Baker (Pastepunk.com (USA) - May 2007)
