Gewapend Beton started out in 2003 and released their first demo CD-r ''Embryo Punk'' the same year. Then the band recorded 7 songs in 2004 and it took almost a year before the split LP with the Bakfiets Boys "Nederpunk Gaat Door" came out. After lots of cool shows and touring trough Europe the band went back to the studio again in 2007 to record their first full length LP/CD ''17 Until We Die''. Since then Gewapend Beton didn't took the time to sit still and only one year later they finished the recordings for the "Empty Batteries".
