Support Ungdomshuset!

Our beloved Ungdomshus needs your help and support in these dark times.

Link many other venues, bars and social projects, Ungdomshuset is facing a very hard time these days. Due to the heavy restrictions enforced by our government to control the spread of the COVID-19 virus, Ungdomshuset is in total lock-down. This means no concerts, bar nights, peoples kitchen or any other activities, which normally keeps the economy of the house running.

Since Ungdomshuset is a nonprofit, 100% volunteer run space, all income goes directly into paying mandatory bills, funding repairs on the house and helping out small touring bands and artists.

Since the beginning of Ungdomshuset, both this one, and the old one on Jagtvej 69, the house has been a very important part of the global DIY network, providing not only a space for shows, parties and festivals, but also aiming to create a safer space for oppressed minorities, while also being an institution of political learning, skill-sharing and creative thinking.

No words can fully describe how important the house is to us. This is where we organize our shows, distribute our releases, play with our bands and find shelter from the world, when times get tough.

Without Ungdomshuset, this label probably wouldn't exist at all.

We fully understand that a lot of you are facing very difficult times, both financially and socially, but if you have any chance to help out the house, we strongly recommend supporting Ungdomshuset in whatever way you can.

There is a Firefund camping up, where you can donate to the house, and every little bit counts. Click this link to read more and donate.

It is also possible to make donations directly to the house, via bank transfers. More info (in danish!) on the poster below.

If you can't support financially, you can still help out a lot by spreading the message in your network, both physically and online.

For more general info about Ungdomshuset, visit the homepage.

Last, but not least, we hope you all stay safe and take care of each other. Punk is support, not competition!

See you on the other side of this madness.

Important Update

Due to the current situation with the COVID-19/Corona Virus outbreak, we will be running a big slower than usual. The main reason is the financial effect the cancelling of festivals and events has on our economy, since a bit part of the income for the label comes from sales at festivals and events, and also private money invested in the label. We are a 100% nonprofit label, so when sales die out, we have no funding for future releases. This means, that until the wheels start turning again, we will not be able to fund more releases, and worst case scenario, planned out releases will be postponed until our economy is better. Furthermore, we will not accept trade offers, unless we can meet up physically or arrange some "punk mail", since we can't afford the shipping right now. 

We do, however, still have some releases already financed, with will come out as planned.

If you want to help us out, the best way is to order our releases and stuff from our distro. We also offer cheap wholesale prices for distroes, stores and labels. Write to wargamerecords666(AT)gmail.com for orders.

On the booking side of things, we will not arrange more shows until it is possible to do larger events again, since we don't want to put guests, volunteers and bands at risk. We have a couple of shows already planned out in the future, but right now it's not possible to say what will happen, but we will keep everyone updated on the situation.

Last, but not least, we strongly encourage everyone to take care of themselves and each others, remember to wash your hands and follow common sense in general, and help out those in need, in whatever way you can.

We hope for better times soon, but until then we will put our energy into doing what is possible right now.
