Bandworm Records is a German record label with affiliated mail order business.
history
The company was founded in 1995; the company headquarters is in Magdeburg .
Bandworm Records publishes and sells sound and image carriers mainly from the fields of punk rock and Oi! , but also Ska , Reggae , Hardcore Punk , Rock , Psychobilly , Rockabilly , Rock 'n' Roll etc. a. There is also a book in the company's program with punk rock tattoos - skin art from the trade fair city . Bandworm Records also owns the Asphalt Records sub-label .
Even if the musical range is broad, the focus was placed on Oi! Punk from the start, because the company founders themselves come from this scene. In the beginning it was bands like Falsche Fögel (Punk from Magdeburg), Restrisk (Oi Punk from Magdeburg) or Tetra Vinyl (Punk from Wefensleben ) that were released. The band Kampfzone , from which the first single with songs from their early phase was released, gained in the following years more and more a reputation for being close to the right-wing scene. Also Perkele were often concerned with the accusation of being a right band. The bands Red Union (SRB) and Subversivos (BRA) are close to the left scene. In 2005, the Saarland skinhead band KrawallBrüder released the second album as a vinyl version on the label.
In the meantime, the range of products offered by the mail-order business increasingly includes music from the (non-political) skinhead scene , rock'n'roll, hardcore punk , ska , rock and psychobilly .
After the band Frei.Wild , which published on Asphalt Records, wanted to give a concert at the South Tyrolean party Die Freiheitlichen , the label ended further cooperation, although the band distanced themselves under pressure from management and canceled the event.
