Happy Birthday statements: When the world was not yet ready for the music we were creating and everyone was adamantly and aggressively opposed to our direction and sound,
a Deutsch record shop named CoreTex stood behind us. Going further than merely just carrying our records, CoreTex would help promote our tours
with MAD and ultimately help spread the gospel.
Coretex Records is to date, as it was 20 years ago, a cool shop to check out the European/USA HC connection when I would be on tour.
I always looked forward to Berlin to make that stop to shop and see the shop! I believe it is the Mecca of the HC community in Europe.
Hey, this is Danny from Boobie Trap. Just wanted to make a few comments about the CoreTex Store in Berlin. The band and I had a chance to visit
the store our last time through Berlin, and we're very impressed with the layout of the merchandise and the cool stuff that was avalialble for sale.
Congratulations Coretex!!! Thank you for supporting underground music!!! Fuck the pussy shit! We love you.
Also das erste mal muss jetzt so an die 18/19 jahre her sein. Der Name CORE TEX war für mich so eine Art Gerücht "Im Westen gibts nen Laden der hat nur HC und punk", wollt ick erst glauben wenn icks sehe, na hab ick denn och. Det nachsehen hab ich gehabt - besser meine Brieftasche!
Das war damals noch inner Adalbertstrasse ne halbe Treppe hoch oder so. Das war glaub ick noch kleiner als das letze CORE TEX Büro ,muss man sich mal vorstellen!
Da wird wohl heute ein Döner drinne sein oder irgendwelche andern apatschen-ayatollas. Also ick habe gekauft Misfits "20 Hits", Lethal Agression"Life Is Hard" und Gorilla Bisquits "Start Today". Und tschüss Begrüssungsgeld. Den Rest hat dann olle Schlumpf im Depot bekommen. BOMBERJACKE!!!
In all my years of going to Berlin and in particular Kreuzberg, I was very passionate about going to see everyone at CORE TEX Records.
My first experience with the good people at CORE TEX Records was when I first came to Europe with Sheer Terror on the "Goodbye, Farewell tour" of 1998. KYI was still Fairly new and I was excited to see that the first 12" EP was well stocked in the CORE TEX store and we already had a fan base in Berlin. Later that year, the CORE TEX label released the European version of our Blackout! Records catalogue, and KYI was able to come to tour Europe for the first time. CORE TEX has always been there for KYI. One of our biggest supporters from the beginning. Whether it was carrying our records on their shelves,
releaseing our stuff and spreading the word, supporting us on our tours, or just letting us hang out in the store and kill time when we were staying in
Berlin. Great people always, and a staple to the European hardcore scene that no one should take for granted. I wish you a happy 20th birthday, and many,
many more.
I remember in '94, my first trip to Core Tex. I thought I would never be able to find all this awesome music again because it wasn't available in
When in Rome, do as the Romans. When in Berlin, buy at Coretex.
Yo... CORE TEX records! You guys kept it real all these years and stuck with the roots of hardcore/punk. I hope you guys are around another 20 years!
Congratulations 'cause you are some cool-ass people.
Um mit den Worten von JFK zu sprechen: I'm proud to say ich bin ein Leverkusener! Dennoch verbindet mich jetzt schon eine mehrjährige Freundschaft,
mit Core Tex und dem Kreuzberger Pak. Für mich sind es einfach die beiden Jungs Udo und David, die ihr Herzblut in Laden und Label stecken.
In the US, chain stores have replaced the independent record shops so for me Core Tex represents an era long gone like when I first started listening to punk and the only way you could find out about bands was to hang out at the record shop. When we go to Berlin there are just a few destinations that we look forward to visiting, Core Tex is always at the top of the list. It goes way beyond latest releases or out of print stuff. Congrats Core Tex, keep it up! We'll see you next time!"
A trip to Berlin is not complete without a visit to Europe's finest record store. Core Tex's got everything you need... friends behind the counter, all the latest records and the ones from yesteryears, the beer fridge, the sofa... and the best curry house across the road!!! - Hervé & Liz (Deadline)
Mein erstes Mal bei Core Tex muss 1991 oder 1992 gewesen sein. Ich war gerade mit 15 bzw. 16 Jahren mitten in der Pubertaet angekommen, hatte HC-Punk über das Skateboarden kennengelernt und bin total grün hinter den Ohren in den Laden rein. Wusste nicht wie man sich verhaelt, was cool ist und was nicht und war total beeindruckt, dass ein Plattenladen auch anders aussehen kann, als z.B. WOM.
Core Tex Records is by far the best cd store for punk and hardcore in all of Europe!!!"
CORE TEX hat mich imma begleitet, von der Inside Out mini bis zur letztn Napaln Death show. Berlin ohne CORE TEX geht nich und Kreuzberg schon gar nich! Gute Freunde im Laden und David is eh n coola mothafucka !AAAIGHT!
Happy Anniversary to Coretex Records! Its seems like only yesterday when David was tour managing us on our 1st tour in Europe. When the tour came to Berlin we went by the Coretex store to hang out and help David shake a few people down that owed him money. He really takes the term "Hardcore" to new levels! |
