New Record deal with Fastball Music/ Sony Music
Friday 5th june 2009
Dear friends,
big news from the PUMP camp!!! Finally, we were able to find a new label home and just have inked a new record deal with Fastball Music. Distribution will be handled by Sony Music Distribution, so it should be available in every good record store in Germany, Switzerland and Austria…and the rest of Europe of course! Our new album, "Sonic Extasy", will be released end of September 2009. Fastball Music is also working on a worldwide release, that means they’ll try to make our music available in the US of A and Japan as well.
The new album 'Sonic Extasy' is probably much more guitar-oriented and is grooving way harder, yet sounding a bit 'dirtier' than our previous releases. But hey….don't worry, we didn’t forget to write some catchy choruses, they are still in the mix. Guess it’s a bit different this time, but they’re still there ?
"The recording, mixing and mastering of the album took almost half a year, so we want to thank all our friends and supporters for the patience. Also, thanks to all of you asking again and again when we will release our new record, that means lots of people are still interested in new PUMP music which is probably the nicest compliment for us. We already made 4 songs of the new record available on our myspace site, if you haven’t heard it yet please check out http://www.myspace.com/pumprocks
Thanks for everything, keep the spirit alive!
PUMP is back, get your lethal dose of PUMP ‘N’ ROLL…comin’ to a dump near you!
Cheers,
Marcus, Aki, Micha, Andy & Stef

Tomorrow's show cancelled Saturday, January 17) - Influenza
January 16th 2009
Hi Folks,
bad news!!! Unfortunately we've been forced to cancel tomorrow's appearance (Saturday, January 17) at Pepe's Musikkneipe in Aalen-Dewangen due to an illness within the band (two bandmembers are knocked out with a real bad cold). But Midnite Sky will play the gig as scheduled. We're so sorry for that, but we hope you will appreciate the reasons for our decision! We'll try to re-schedule the gig as soon as possible for all of you who have planned to attend the show.
Cheers,

COVER ARTWORK FOR "SONIC EXTASY"
Novenber 13th, 2008
Hi everyone,
hope you're all doing good out there...as promised already, here's the artwork for our new album "Sonic Extasy". We hope you guys like it as much as we do. Please feel free to leave any
comments about it.
And also another quick info about the current status of the new record. IT'S DONE!!!! Finally...and thank god for that!!! Well, to be honest with you all:
The whole thing is finished for quite some time now. Unfortunately our producer Uwe Lulis had a real bad motorbike accident a couple of weeks ago and spent some time at a hospital. Due to his accident he was not able to mix the album as originally scheduled, of course. But the most important is that Uwe is alive and well after all what happend. Everything turned out good and he's doing fine.
The only bad news is (apart from the accident...) that we've got another huge delay for the completion of the album. But as already mentioned, Uwe is currently putting the finishing touches on our new album and we're looking forward to post a couple of new songs on our myspace site the very next days.
"Sonic Extasy" Tracklist:
01. Ready, aim, fire
02. Low life in the fast lane
03. Testify
04. Ain't got enough
05. Kiss of Voodoo
06. Long road to nowhere
07. Cry for the moon
08. Don't get mad get even
09. Couldn't care less
10. Burning light
11. Never
12. All I could bleed
But we are breaking out of the confinement of the studio to air some long overdue and new material. After false starts, too many beers and general back and forth’s we've finally get our shit together to play a show with our buddies from Midnite Sky at Pepes Musikneipe in Aalen-Dewangen on Jan 17th 2009 and also a another show on Feb 28th 2009 at the Met-Bar Lenzburg/Switzerland with our swiss buddies from Dust 'n' Bones. But there's more to come...we'll keep you informed.
The fire still burns....

PUMP STUDIO WORK
AUGUST, 01st 2008
Dear friends,
as always, sorry for the long time since our last post here, but since we're all a bunch of lazy bastards it always takes a little while to drop a few lines.
But there has been a lot of questions asked by so many of you, we thought it's time now to give you all a little update what' s going on in the PUMP camp right now.
The recordings for our new album "Sonic Extasy" have actually been going pretty well. Most of it is done.
We've recorded 12 tracks already, drums, bass, guitars, solos and even the vocals for four songs are done so far and the whole thing is very much in the making right now. Good stuff growing here! Working with our producer Uwe Lulis (Rebellion, Grave Digger, V8 Wankers) is nothing but pure fun, there's a great vibe at his Black Solaris Studios in Franfurt which really made us go with the flow.
Uwe did a killer job working for us so far, we love to work with him and we guess he also loves working with us, so the process went by and will go pretty smoothly for he remaining time we have to work on that album.
We made some rough mixes a couple of days ago, and they sound totally awesome. We're all excited about how this record is taking shape, and we can't wait to share it with all of you. This record features definitively our "best and most dynamic material to date," combining strong tension, great guitar solos and a hell of a power-groove.
We are confident that our new songs got bigger and better melodies and heaviness then on our previous ones. Finally!!! Well, it all got a heavier and groovier feel than anything we've done before at least. All songs have a very powerful positive energy without being too clean and polished.
We have planned to release the album in autumn 2008. We really hope we can put this into practice.
We will continue with the recordings of the remaining vocals by the end of August and start mixing the whole thing in September. Be sure we'll update you with a proposed release date and other news as soon as we are finished, of course.
But there's one thing for sure: This record will be given 100% of this bands talent, creativity, energy and passion. Nothing will be on it that we don't absolutely believe is the very best we could possibly create.
Cheers and keep on rockin',
