New project on the way: Active bands in DK

Because of the (until now) total mess that is the danish punk/hc/metal/crust/grind/etc diy-scene, some friends and me have decided to start up a new project on the most extensive danish punk and hardcore download-site, The Fat Punk.

The project is very simple: Gather info's on all active bands for people to see. 
You can check it out here. If you have something to add, contact the webmaster at The Fat Punk here.

While it is not so extensive at the moment, we're planning on providing more info and in time, even try to cover those bands who once where. More on that when it happens.  

Untill then, remember to check out the calendar for July!
