About Me

Launched in the summer of 2002, ASSAULT Records has been around as an idea for several years now. That's how long we've been toying with the idea of running a "classic" hardcore label.
There always were bands we'd have loved to work with, but for some reason or other, we never got our act together- until now. When THE SCARLET LETTER asked us to do a record for them, we decided that it was finally time to put ASSAULT Records on the map.
For us, hardcore was (and still is) more than music, not just another trend. After actively being involved with this scene for over ten years, we can safely say that punk and hardcore have become parts of our lifes. The politics and the rage, the passion and emotion are what (for us) hardcore is all about. Over the years, we've been provoked, challenged and educated through bands, zines and individuals who call themselves punk or hardcore. ASSAULT Records is our way to support bands that still rock our world, to say "thank you" for years of inspiration.
Eventhough we do have musical preferences, we're not going to limit ourselves to a certain sound. But you can be sure that there will only be records by bands that we can stand behind and support fully.
Our first release was a new 7" by THE SCARLET LETTER from NJ. Ever since their debut release on Hater Of God, we've been deeply impressed with their work. To have their new 7" as our first release was an honor.
Hailing from NYC, THE DISASTER released their full length CD "Black And White And Red All Over" on Endwell records. We liked it so much that we asked them to release the vinyl version of that record. Enter ASSAULT Records number two.
Our third release was the european pressing of the R.A.M.B.O. - Wall Of Death The System LP/CD that came out on 625Productions. Drug free anarchist bikers going wild. We were taken not only by their music, but their lyrics as well.
more coming soon...
