This new section will showcase forever the cream of the cream of the art of the front cover. Before getting started with the month of January, we decided to offer you what we think are the 10 best covers of 2010. It's without any surprises taht the names of Jod.Drummer and Nocturne appeared a couple of time in our new rubric, but we hope to see new faces getting in it for the next months.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!! (1st)
As you know, 2010 was the first real complete year of activity of Cookies & Biscuits Records, and God knows we made a long shot to make our label where it is now. From the first album of 2010, "No Sunrise to the Punk-o-Maddicted" that featured the cream of punk-o-matic 1 to the C&BR Awards, passing by the incredible amount of punk-o-matic 2 albums we've received, the albums from well-known artists and from surprising beginners, last year was fucking awesome. Now it is time to turn the page for a brand new year. A year where we should expect even better work, sounds we've never saw before. I know for a thing that a lot of artists out there are planning massive work, and for some of them, I don't even have the right to talk to you about it.With the release of Pom PRO, this year should be even better than ever for our small label that, who knows, might just grow even bigger.

SPANKY REVOLUTION WON'T DIE! (1st)
The other album is one I am very excited to talk about, since it is from me, Spanky Revolution! I released today my album "We Won't Die" where I took care of the mixing. This album features 11 tracks, including a collab with Spectre, a cover of "Broken Hearts Never Heal", the songs "Riot", "Anthem", "You Wanna Sink", "Snow On Manhattan" and many more! This album, in my opinion, features major improvements compared to Racing the Sunset. It'smore concise, more homogene but goes in more moods, has better hooks, better use of music theory more of... everything! - except for tracks, there are less tracks in WWD... I am also working on a Deluxe edition with mixing by Downfall-RiD, custom drums and stuff... more to come! But meanwhile, don't forget to download my album!
