...beeing around since 1997 they released their first demo "For those who are true" which was sold out within a few month.Through the extremely positive reactions national and international "For those who are true" was repressed and PUNCHLINE joined forces and released a split-cd with viennas one and only PERMANENT STYLE.Their third release was also their 1st full-length named "Keep your friends close" (released by Burnside Rec. and Keep the spirit alive Rec.) which earned a lot of attention in Austria, across the borders and overseas.After entering the studio once again in early 2005 PUNCHLINE recorded their 2nd full-length named "Underground Loyalty" - reflecting their love&passion for heartcore music...Also several samplers have their name on them ("A sign of friendship"-sampler vol.I+II for example) plus several Compilations from all over the world. Not to forget, the "Tribute to the Ryker..s"-sampler (Martial music) will be released in a few month where PUNCHLINE performed
"Stranglehold".Especially their live-performance proved it..s potential throughout the last
11 years! PUNCHLINE..s live qualities are undisputed - that..s what you here everywhere they..ve crushed a stage... especially in Germany,Slovenja, Italy, Switzerland and of course Austria.Within the years the scene changed a lot - so did PUNCHLINE and certain
attitudes got pushed to another level... now it..s not only screamin' about
personal problems, friendship and unity anymore - a lot of political, anti-economical and enviromental problems grew into PUNCHLINE..s
lyrics... the aggression, brutality, honesty and love to the hardcore-music
and -movement behind this band is the main reason why this band still lives
in the same line-up all these years AND their pissed-off, honest anger is
the reason why these 5 guys still deliver most brutal live-performances.In December 06 Leiti the bassplayer decided to quit the band after 7 years.the band decided to hook up with the one and only MAUSER (ex-coming first) a.k.a Mausferatu,Hans Mauser,Jesus von Mauseret a.s.o...Definately he..s the perfect puzzle piece fitting in this chaotic bunch of bastards ..2008 there will be a new album coming out which they..re all asured that this masterpiece will be the best they..ve done so far!..released by Willi and CLASSWAR RECORDS!!!!!It..s a plain hardcoreband releasing their pain, anger and hate with their
releases and their shows.
