24.05.09 Join the party! (Sorry for the tacky heading)
Do you people really like the kind of stuff you find on this website? The buzzing, the clinking and the ringing?
If you can give yourself a permission to listen to non-avantgarde music, you should check out Party by The New Soviet. It's an EP of four catchy (indie) rock tunes and not that hard to listen to.
09.05.09 Blues Blues Blues Carnage put out a record
Blues Blues Blues Carnage started working on their album five years ago. Now it is done. Those of you who have listened to the two tracks on the recent Sikotauti compilation know what it's all about: something like ambient but not quite. We like to call it punk ambient (well, no we don't actually, I just made that up).
Go listen to the album and if you happen to like it, do consider surprising us by ordering a CD-r version of it. It comes with fancy Holga photography. (Can Holga ever be fancy?)

27.04.09 Spice!
The debut album by Spice Girls is arguably the most important album of the last twenty years. A splendid internet community Apskaft has put their heads together to pay tribute to this unbelievable recording. The result is an album where the members of Apskaft cover every track of Spice and two other tracks as well. The most interesting cover Siko-wise is Something Kinda Funny by Drn Drn, because of the band being comprised of some of the Siko people you already know (kind of).

14.03.09 Pet Ulcer's Teenage Bladder is out
We've got this new artist who has put out an album full of noise (or soft noise as he likes to call it). It's a bit like an easy-listening version of Merzbow.
We were supposed to release the album yesterday, on Friday the 13th, but we forgot to do it. So, it's out now, even though the release date isn't that gloomy.
14.02.09 Perculators release their Siko debut
We have released twenty minutes of Japanese lofi-avant-noise-blues-rock by Perculators. The EP is the first release outside of Japan from this reckless duo. It is bound to break your eardrums.
There are a couple of CD-r's available with pretty amazing photography. Of course, you can download it for free as well.
We would like to emphasize that the EP was released yesterday, Friday the 13th. Oo, gloomy.

01.02.09 Siko Records is re-animated
After a long pause, we are now back in the internet. From now on, Siko Records is primarily a netlabel. We will release most of our music as free downloads along with limited CD-r versions.
We have released two albums since we woke up again. The long-awaited compilation Sikotauti has been out since last July. It includes twenty previously unreleased tracks from a diverse batch of artists. The CD-r release comes with a fancy 40-page booklet. Casual Street Band have also released their third album, Monday Meeting, but we have heard it only once so far.
See Releases to download these albums or contact us, if you want to buy Sikotauti. To get a physical copy of Monday Meeting, you'll have to contact the band, I'm afraid.
