On No Echo's endless mission of helping to introduce our readers to new bands, today brings us to Krime, a hardcore band based out of the Netherlands that formed in early 2024. "We had been friends for a long time and shared a lot of good times together," guitarist Bas tells No Echo. "We played together in bands like Citizens Patrol and Brat Pack (2007-2014).
"Kenny and me also were in a post-punk band called The Establishment. We were talking about doing a hardcore band again, and since I was already doing another project with Tommy and Koen, we ditched that and started working together on Krime songs."
Krime released their 4-song demo a few weeks back, showcasing a killer sound that leans on the punkier side of hardcore with melody coursing through. There are some dissonant riff parts that are especially potent. "I guess our sound will appeal to fans of current bands like Long Knife, Syndrome 81, The Chisel, Night Birds, Annihilation Time, Night Fever, and Career Suicide," says Bas.
"We're influenced by 5 decades of punk and hardcore. To name a few: Poison Idea, RKL, Agent Orange, and Cro-Mags, but also bands like Wipers and Motörhead left their mark on our songwriting."

PPWR & SHIPPING
A little word on PPWR
Chances are, you’ve already heard of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, aka PPWR.
As the name suggests, the whole idea is to reduce packaging waste and make us all a little more conscious about our environmental footprint. Which is, obviously, a good thing.
Pressing records, however, is already something of an ecological nightmare — and we haven’t even started talking about the bonkers ways records travel around the world.
Here at Not Sorry, we try to keep things as sensible as possible: we ship in cardboard mailers, use paper-based packing material and non-plastic tape, and usually throw in only a few flyers and stickers. Some records come wrapped in foil, some don’t. We’re pretty sure you know how to recycle these materials — but if you’re unsure, just drop us a line at weare@not-sorry.de and we’ll figure it out together.
Unfortunately, PPWR also comes with a rather massive downside for small businesses like ours: we would need to register and obtain packaging recycling certificates in every single EU country we ship to. The costs and paperwork involved are simply not manageable for us.
So, for the time being, we can only ship to Germany and all non-EU countries worldwide. Sorry about that!
If you’re inside the European Union but outside Germany and there’s a record in our shop that you absolutely need in your life, please don’t give up just yet. Drop us a line at weare@not-sorry.de and we’ll see if we can find a way to get it to you.
