Hello,
I'm back online with some updates for you.
First of all, thanks to all the kids who came at Keep The Faith's tourdates in April.
Then: San Martin Records, the friend-label that you know, is coordinating a new co-production
and Pancrecords is one of the producing labels: the band is called Usured, you will hear about them. 
I updated this site with something I hope you may like: a multimedia section in which you will be
able to download for free some mp3s taken from Pancrecords' productions and co-productions.
To join this page it takes only to click on the left (link free download). Some co-productions mp3s
are going to be added in these days.
More: co-p page has been updated with some new co-productions. Don' miss the new one:
Sundae Milk's cd (buy this great album)!!!  Soon Barboncini too (the cd collection and rarities).
I'm going to update this website more often. I'm working at prods and co-prod's schedules
in which every single cd will be described and reviewed. 
Link page is going to be modified, deleting some links and adding more links concerning
 all the bands that Pancrecords is producing and co-producing.
P.S. In the music player now you can listen to El Bastardo's cd too.

Take care,

Hello,
first of all, thank you for your votes for Keep The Faith at Fiatfreestyle battle of the bands. Unfortunately
we did not make it but all the compliments that this band is receiving let me know that they are really
great. In the meantime, some news are on the way but if you stay tuned I'll tell you all the updates
little by little. In the page "bands" I added three new promo pictures of Keep The Faith so you can
see the new drummer, Pietro.
In this section, you may see that a new artist is in the Panc Records family. So let me 
introduce you El Bastardo. His cd is in the official Panc catalogue but also in the co-production page
because it has been released in collaboration with San Martin records.
El Bastardo comes from Val Susa (Italy). Musically, he was born as harmonicist beginning in the
middle of the 80's under Paolo Ganz's teaching methods of harmonic and blues guitar.
El Bastardo played in many bands even if his last creation is the rock n roll band called
Bad Dog Boogie founded in 1998. He always felt the need to express himself in a solo
side project that could represent his blues musical roots. At the end of 2005 he finally
released this cd. We could define this album as a 9 tracks cd recorded in an Alpine hut.
Guitar, voice, an harmonic, and some special guests.
An individual and artistic declaration of independence in which the revision of the famous
songs is not a sort of memorabilia tribute, but a real personalization suggested by
El Bastardo feelings and moods.
Is it a cover cd? Not really. El Bastardo pays homage to some artists that he loves.
He also puts in this album some tracks written by him and listening to this cd you may
notice that is very homogeneous and well structured. Even if you are not very into
blues music, I think you are going to like this work.
Soon I will update the mp3 player so you can listen by yourself. 
In the meantime you can click www.elbastardo-outlawpicker.com and here you will
find mp3s, outtakes, videos and pictures. Or click on Myspace page
 www.myspace.com/elbastardooutlawpicker
El Bastardo's cd is here on Pancrecords web site and it's cheap as usual, don't miss it!

January 18th 2006

Hello,
I have a lot of new updates for you.
First of all, Vincenzo aka Keep The Faith's drummer, left the band at the end of December 2005.
Pietro took immediately his place officially in January 2006 during the gig in Catania at "LeTorce club".
We wish all the best to Vincenzo and we say a warm welcome to Pietro,
Keep The Faith's new drummer.
Then the new year opens with a good news for Keep The Faith, in fact the band appears with
a track taken from their new album on Punkster Magazine's first CD sampler. Magazine's
price will be the same that means that the cd is totally free. So, go and buy it, it's cheap!
As I wrote you time ago, Keep The Faith represent Italian independent music panorama in a kind
of "battle of the bands" proclaimed by the international motors brand Fiat. Since January 7th, it
takes to vote your favourite band just to make it win a live show in Turin's Olimpics 2006.
Now I need your vote: voting is easy, even if you are not Italian, the site is easy to be managed.
Follow the link www.fiatfreestyleteam.com and click on the word "entra". Skip the intro if you have
no time to see the animations.  Once inside, there is a big pink banner with the animated writing who
says: "Enjoy the syle! With Fiat freestyle team". A pop-up windows opens. Click "next" until it 
appears a page displaying all the bands' names and a small button (a html radio button) that allows
a choice. Vote Keep The Faith and then click "vota" it's on the right side of the screen exactly where
it was the word "next". Now insert your e-mail and click "VOTA" again. In your mailbox (check junk
e-mails too if you have an automatic service of antispam), arrives a confirming e-mail with a link.arriving a confirming link. 
You click on  it and it's definitely done. It seems complicated and slow but it's not, I swear.
You won't subscribe any newsletter or other shit. It's only a vote, i really confide in you.
I'll be back with more news soon
Thank you,

November 21st 2005

Hello,
a quick update about a new Pancrecords' co-production release. It is the Barboncini's cd.
It is going to be a not typical production because of the fact that Barboncini are not playing
anymore since a lot of  time. In fact, Barboncini was an Italian punk band of the Nineteens.
In those years, they published a demo tape and other stuff  that now is unreachable. 
So, under the supervision of Marco, ex guitar player of Barboncini that now lives in London,
the demo plus more songs  will be re-printed  in this cd. 
But there is going to be added lots of special features and inedit tracks. Moreover,
it will be entirely remastered. In Italy, the project is coordinated by Pino of PsychoBabi label.
I would like to remind you that in the next issue of the Italian music magazine Punkster,
Keep The Faith appears in the first cd-sampler of this magazine  
with a track taken from their Pancrecords' cd "Not a wall but a bridge".

Hi dear,
new updates at Panc's. Well: one more time another co-production between Panc and other
Italian music labels.
This time it's The Kelvins 's turn. In the page co-p you will find all the infos about the band
and you have the possibility to buy the cd. Very low prices as usual.
Maybe you had the chance to see at www.pancrecords.it 
(if browser's pop ups are off please turn them on),
that i put some banners online. One of these is about the next Panc Records' cd.
It is going to be a co-production too but a little bit different from the other ones.
For some reasons:first of all, the co-production will be between Panc Records and
SanMartin and no other label will be envolved in the project; then the music genre of
the artist produced is very diffrent from the other bands you are used to find here.
This artist is called El bastardo and he plays guitar in the Italian band BadDogBoogie.
In his cd, El Bastardo, will show us a totally inedit version of himself covering some 
famous blues, folk, country/western songs using his personal style.
Take a look at his site to know something more about him.
Soon new updates about this cd. 
In the meantime, Keep The Faith will appear with one song in the cd compilation of
the Italian magazine called Punkster (issue January/February 2006)
Thanks a lot for all the cds you are sending me: they all are welcome and very well
listened. Sometimes I have no possibility to check e-mails so, don't be mad if
i don't answer. In anycase, cds arrive!!
In this Italian site Kathodik, there is a new review of May I Refuse /  Mrsfletcher split
(Italian language only)

Hello,

here some news: first of all, there's a nice review on the Italian webzine
Alternatzine about Keep The Faith's cd. Click on www.alternatzine.com (Italian language only).
Then: a new very interesting co-production is now available on Panc's web (click on the
page co-p ). It's a split cd featuring four italian bands: Carry All, 
Out of Date, Killjoy and Garretti. Panc records and other labels produced this album
even if, as the cd's title may suggest (No Reason Split Vol 1),
the biggest part was financed by this booking agency from Milan called
No Reason. Take a look at the site www.noreasonbooking.com.
Moreover: in few days, there are going to be available on this site the 
copies of The Kelvins. Please, visit the band's site
This is another co-production between Panc and other labels.
Among the others there is San Martin Records (label and webzine)
that printed and produced The Kelvin's album.
Please, let me know what you think about it.

Apr 27th, 05 Hello everybody,
as you can see web site’s totally restyled. I hope you like it.
Keep The Faith's new cd is out! It's the third Panc Records' production. Cd's title is "Not a wall but a bridge". The band is going to begin a mini-Italian tour in May. During those days the guys will p r o m o t e and sell their new album. (check tour page). Soon on line on Panc Records' web site, you will find in pre-listening the entire Keep The Faith's cd. The same work will be done for other Panc's cds so, if you never had the chanc to know our bands, now you will be able to do it. This work will take its time to be released so, i strongly recommend you to click here and listen on purevolume to some songs. But let me tell you something about Keep The Faith: They started years ago with some sXe/hc projects and after a cd on Vacation House Records (2002) they decided to refine their music and look for other collaborations. I’m glad this record is finally out for Panc Records because it is a cd that really deserves your kind attention. Like every Panc’s release this cd too is really cheap (you will find price’s details in the catalog section) and for every cd you purchase you will receive some cute gadgets like pin/buttons, stickers, etc... In the meantime, it is going to start in these days the Austrian tour of Mrsfletcher! If you are from Austria or have any friend in there please, promote the event and go to meet the band, you won’t be disappointed. For more details about their tour dates click on the tour page or go directly to their web site where you surely will find many pics also. Take care. by webmistress Apr 16th, 05 Some good news on the way: Panc Records will co-produce with San Martin Records two interestingItalian bands: The Kelvins and El Bastardo (the very good solo project of El Bastardo, member of Bad Dog Boogie). More news about it will be soon available. Another co-production will be soon realized with No Reason agency. The guys are working hard on a split that will feature some italian bands. Stay tuned for details. In the meantime check the co-p page
