SAID AND DONE is just a bunch of kids playing the music they love, HARDCORE. Taking cues from the 80'ies their songs are full of groove and melody, but with a raw edge. Add some lyrics that are trying to bring accross a message (without being pretentious) to the mix and you'll get the idea what they're all about.
Two tracks, recorded with Michiel Toenink, introduced the band to the world in 2006. This online released promo got their name out fast and got things started. At the end of that same year a full length, titled "Everyday", was recorded with Patrick Delabie at Studio 195 in Wernhout (NL). Released by Shield Recordings on on both CD and LP in 2007 it got great feedback. More shows followed and at the beginning of 2008 they recorded a well-received EP called "Endless Roads", this time with Dirk Miers at De Studio in Asse (Belgium). Building on the Cro Mags / Leeway / Maximum Penalty influenced sound they were known for, it also added some new layers, inspired by bands like Motorhead & Only Living Witness. The "3 song promo tape" (released on frontman Pim's own tape label Pressure Release Records) from the end of 2008, recorded with Nico van Montfort, shows them branching out a bit more, adding more rocking vibes to the mix.
Between recording and releasing these records they played lots of shows. Aside from playing all over their own country they went into the distance, taking small trips through countries like Spain, England, Wales, Belgium and Germany. Hopefully 2009 will give them the opportunity to add more countries to that list.

TAKE IT BACK will soon put out the debut 7" EP by Switzerland's ANIMAL INSTINCT, which features ex- and current members of Solid Ground and Play To Destroy. ANIMAL INSTINCT sounds like classic New York-style hardcore in the vein of Breakdown, Outburst, and Killing Time. The vinyl version of their EP (including a free digital download) will be limited to 300 copies only and there will be a even more limited pre-order version and shirts available soon.
I hope your show with Bitter End will be great. This guys are real good ones so if you have a chance say hallo from Warsaw to Daniel, singer of Bitter End.
