First stop was Halle … Die Alte Schule was one of the smallest places we ever played but the crowd was amazing. Local punks and skins were dancing all night long .. Special to our support band Not The Ones from Berlin who played a great gig and are awesome peeps. Next stop was one of our favorite cities in Germany .. Hamburg. Hamburg was one of the first that welcomed This Means War. Back in 2018 we opened in Knust for Cock Sparrer and from that day on we fell in love with this rough but beautiful city. One of our favorite clubs in the whole wide world is definitely ‘Monkeys’. We feel so at home and welcome every time we walk in. Sam (Harder) and his crew are truly punkrock angels. We were invited to play at the 8th bday party of Monkeys and it was fucking great. Thanks to the great crowd and The Hotknives … Life on the road is great my friends!</p>This Means War!tag:thismeanswarpunk.com,2005:Post/71314032023-01-02T12:19:23+01:002023-12-10T20:40:26+01:00New single 'Wake up' on Dackelton Records ... 10th February!<p>Happy new year punks!

Can't wait to hit the road with the lads again!</p>

We first took some time to let covid sink in but after two long years Dave, Robbie and Jelle decided to part ways. We really wanna thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their contribution and their support! It took some time for us to decide if we would go on with the band .. but let me tell you, we like punkrock music! So yes, we picked up where we left and contacted Tom (guitar) and Steve (bass) to join our band. It are two amazing guys. Tom played guitar in Colors Dead Bleed and Steve plays the bass with the legendary punk band Chron Gen. You guessed it right! Steve is from Leicestershire (England) but nowadays music has no boundaries so let's get this party started!</p>

So we did, we teamed with Filip De Bot (Penthouse studio) to record 5 brand new songs. Filip is a great guy and knows how things work in the studio. After these recordings we took some time and some band changes. When the dust finally settled we hooked up with Yarne Heylen and Zero Project Studio for the mix and final mastering. Well, let me tell you know this songs are gonna knock your socks off punks! We even recorded a French speaking song (laisser une trace). Expect more details soon!</p>
