We are very excited to introduce SAVE IT ANYWAY and their debut single ‘Moments’ which is released on Friday 10th September.
The band features front-man Kristian Richards of the UK’s best pop punk bands SAVE YOUR BREATH + 4 members of THE RUN UP; between them, they have toured the world with heavyweights such as New Found Glory, The Wonder Years, Neck Deep, Spanish Love Songs and The Story So Far and their debut single is as good as you’d expect from a band with such background and experience.
A mixture of Emo, Punk and Rock-Elements that is inspired by
the Sound between 2000 and 2010.
A variety of sound and style-fragments merged into wonderful Punkrock songs.
Whilst vocals and guitars are almost surrounding you from every side, providing
harmonies and rocking tunes, the rhythm group pushes forward - a groove
that let's you dance, kick and scream like there's no tomorrow!
First influences were NOFX, Millencolin, Samiam, Jimmy Eat World, TFP and Unwritten Law -
later they some more EMO styled bands like Hawthorne Heights and Taking back sunday.....
The Band 20 Days Dull exists for more than 15 years and is still going. The 3 have
found their love to music already in young ages and have always kept improving their
abilities and horizon. Influenced by Rock and Punk Rock the idea of a band was born.
The founder and singer (Marco) was from the moment of starting the band - and still
is - like the glue that keeps everything together, preserving the dream, whilst
fighting to achieve a place in the music environment was always part of his everyday
striving and struggling to get his message out to the world. Throughout all these
years he never gave up - no matter what happened.
Long time overdue...
2008 - The decision was made. An album should be recorded. With lots of love for
the details and a nonetheless grand amount of madness the plan succeeded. After a
lot of sweat, big hassles and some nearly nervous breakdowns the album was finished
at the start of 2014. Somehow you could say the album reflects those last 15 years of
band history. You can hear and feel the musical influences of all those involved in
the process, as well as all those special moments that went into the long production
of theirs debut-album "What Would You Say". As of the content this album deals with
morality, and those little things between humans every day that finally matter so much.
If you listen closely the album has to tell a lot. It is not political. It runs deeper
and asks, why humans are more and more losing those old values as respect, empathy
and helpfulness, which we learned as children.
Evolution...
The band had to undergo some changes in all these years. Some left, others joined
and carried over those ideals and music the band presents. Marco the dyed-in-the-wool
band leader now has found in Mike and Jens such musically nerdy members as himself.
The new album is in progress which will have as well somme of this nostalgic moments
and feelings as it will have a much more positive vibe with lots of new musical aspects
adopted by the band over the years. What remains is the love for the small details and
the undaunted will to continueo walking on a not so easy way.
2020 Back to live...
The year started quite good with support Gigs in Germany and a short trip to PERU just
the last few days before live music ENDED.(CUSCO 13.03. and LIMA 14.03.20)
As a consequence of the developments the band focused more on the works for their new
album (planned for middle of 2022) as well as another 3 Song EP which will gap the time
inbetween. Hopes are to get back touring along with the release of the new album in the
middle of 2022 - if there will be any live opportunities left ?!

Michael Kovrig, one of the Canadians arbitrarily detained in China for almost 1000 days known as the Two Michaels, was living in Budapest, Hungary in the ’90s and he was the singer of a local band, Bankrupt.
The band says:
We released the song The Plane To Toronto in July to raise awareness of his situation. The overwhelmingly positive feedback we received inspired us to take this project a step further. We invited people from around the world to collaborate with us on a music video for this song. We wanted to demonstrate that people around the globe are willing to stand up for Michael and send a clear message to all governments involved. This nightmare has to end. We want Michael to be released now.
We have received over 60 videos from 15 countries on 4 continents. From Times Square to the Red Square, from the beaches of Sydney to the mountains of Colorado, from the Eiffel Tower to CN Tower, people of various ages, nationalities and backgrounds stood in solidarity with Michael. The video also features Michael’s family members and friends.
The video features some well-known figures of the international punk scene such as Stefan from punkrockers-radio.de, Dmitry Spirin from Tarakany, Rob from Punk Outlaw Records, and Shahab from Geykido Comet Records, who released our first demo with Michael on a compilation back in 1999.
And we won’t stop until Michael’s free. We invite everyone to create selfie photos or videos holding our Free Michael Kovrig poster or a handmade one and upload it to Instagram / Facebook / Twitter with the hashtag #freemichaelkovrig They can also send them to us, and we’ll share the best ones.
We feel like we’re in the 24th hour to turn this around, and we’d like to do everything we can. We believe the more people hear about this story, the bigger the pressure will be on the politicians to make the necessary compromises and bring the Two Michaels home.
All profits from the song will be donated to Hostage International.
