NEW ALBUM "BACK TO THE STREETS" OUT NOW!!

To your ears, your favourite heavyweights are back. „BACK TO THE STREETS„ A new lineup , new spirit, new strenght and new passion. Reborn and better than ever. A new face of four guys who stand for loyality and respect to themselves to make the sound of SETTLE THE SCORE. Retrospective, 2005 Devo and Sven joined STS, and it seems like that they`ve ever been there. Starting the writing process was a new challenge, and everyone was involved with the writing of lyrics and the music. Two years later, we`re here to talk about the new record, a new beginning of band which was never dead. Many people talked about the end of STS, but it`s not an end, it`s more a new beginning. „Back To The Streets„ will show you every side of life, it`s about relationships, family, friendship, the loss of loving ones, it`s about being real, it`s about tolerance, loyality and love. „BACK TO THE STREETS„ came from the depths of our hearts and will reach the minds of the forgotten and the fallen. It`s for everyone who dedicated his life to hardcore or just to music at all.... don`t forget where you come from, and where you belong to. ....BACK TO THE STREETS.... STS....

Band Info

Seasons come and seasons go . . but SETTLE THE SCORE is still on the map and ready to beat the shit outta your bodies. The story started back in `99 when 3 friends wanted to start a new mayhem of a band. The guys had been part of the scence for years, due to their work with their label/ distro SPILL THE BLOOD . The 1st release was a 3 track demo,which was released in Europe and in Japan. The response was so amazing... all copies were sold out after a short time. The release was followed by lotsa shows and festivals, where STS shared the stages with the likes of Ignite or Rykers. Turn the page, the next step was a split cd with the us bands SWORN VENGEANCE and nNJBLOODLINE. Released in Europe by Berlin`s MADMOB RECORDS and the US label ON THE RISE. Meanwhile FILLED WITH HATE RECORDS released a split 7” with sidekick, and the band played more and more shows like the Dour Festival and HC-Superbowl. Please turn the page again... a 3½ weeks tour over the states with NJ BLOODLINE and their full lenght debut ROYAL FLASH released on MADMOB RECORDS was another highlight for the guys. Until today the cd is already sold out too... another 2 week tour through Europe with EVERYBODY GETS HURT awaited them... one gig followed by another, STS played more than ever, and the response was amazing. But you think they can`t rise higher and higher... don`t write them of... Japan was up to kick ass... 9 shows (3 sold out before even landed) with EVERYBODY GETS HURT and TJMAXX... what a blast... STS became more and more an institution of Europe`s HC scene!! So be prepared for the next level. STS signed to ALVERAN RECORDS and entered the studio again, entered...? No they fuckin` captured Cuny (former producer of Blind Guardian) and his Mindtransplant Studios and recorded a masterpiece FIVE KNUCKLE PHILOSOPHY to reconquering the crown!! But every story has some tragic moments left... taking losses means beeing though. Longtime Bandmates and friends Peter and Benjamin deceide to leave STS!! Some  said that STS would never be as strong as they were - but they fuckin` failed!! Sven (SPILL THE BLOOD RECORDS) and Devo (former member of ALVERAN RECORDS, ex NYARI, ex MACHINEMADE GOD and CROWLEY`S PASSION) fitted into the gap and gave STS unknown power and strength. The chemistry between these 4 guys was amazing, it seemed like that they were playing together for years. In the meantime the boys played a lot of shows all around europe and finished the recording session for the new record BACK TO THE STREETS. The whole production including the recording, mixing, mastering and the whole design, website and videos of the record were done by Cuny and Thomas at MINDTRANSPLANT. The cd-version was released on may 1st 2008 with the help of T.ES Records (a division of Mindtransplant) and Filled With Hate. The vinyl edition will be out later this year and it`s gonna be a REALITY RECORDS release !!  SETTLE THE SCORE will be on the road again with the new material and of course a new drummer. Devo deceided to leave STS because he and his girlfriend are expecting a baby, so he will change the sides... From now on he`ll do the homepage updates, all kinds of translations and stuff like that. Devo is replaced by Anas, a native Mönchengladbach kid with huge talent and an amazing character. SETTLE THE SCORE is still . . . one of the most authentic, strongest, honest and powerful bands of the european HC scene!! So prepare yourself for the new record and come out to see the guys in your city !!   BACK TO THESTREETS 2008

Album Info

Back To The Streets

The Album hardcore is more than a music genre and d.i.y. is not a trend. so the chemistry between these two things combined with the power and the strength of Settle The Score results in a big long lasting mix! " BACK TO THE STREETS " is the title of the new baby... and here we are, a new record with new songs in a new dress you wouldn`t ever expect. some of you have heard " family", "back to the streets" or "misery " and some of you haven`t anything, so be ready and prepare yourself for the new stuff. there`re many influences combined with the typical STS sound. lyrics about life and death, about friendship, respect, tolerance and about life at all. finally, BACK TO THE STREETS is our statement!   The "d.i.y."-thing this is an independent record. independent from a label or salesmen. many of them are deaf to music and blind to art but we take the next step forward and leave those behind. we get support from T.ES Records for label concerning things and Filled With Hate Records helps us out to distribute this album across Europe and CDBaby worldwide. to make it available to your MP3-Player BTTS will be available in all iTunes Stores and many many more.   Friends the collaboration between Settle The Score, Cheap Thrills and Black Friday´29 was overdue, because there was a long-time friendship long before their bands have been formed. the three frontmen Bud (STS), Christoph (CT) and Björn (BF´29) wrote the lyrics together, which were recorded during an amazing session. that´s the way the title "Count On Us" was born. freddie, vince and olivier from Stubborn came to the Mindtransplant Studios in Krefeld to join us on the track "N.F.B.". we had a lot of fun including an all-you-can-eat-tour through our beautiful hometown mönchengladbach. we really appreciate their support, also to have these guys with us!!   Changes devo will leave the band at the end of april, because he and katrin are expecting a baby! its an amazing step for them to become parents, and we wish them all the best! devo will stay an sts member - he´ll keep on writing press or news things, he will also do interview translations and keep on writing lyrics. devos place behind the drums will be filled by anas, the band knew him for a long time. he´s a really talented guy and will give sts another push.
