In-Sane - ...Keeping Ourselves Close To Our Hearts...
In-Sane - ...Keeping Ourselves Close To Our Hearts..., 2006 Slovenia Broken Board Records, 2006 Punk, melodic HC (11 tracks, 32min, CDR~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 87MB) Great band from Gornja Radgona. Only three guys, but they make very quality noise and with this attitude they can become very recognizable in the European scene. This first kind of demo album was first pressed (burned) in 100 copies that sold out very fast. So they re-issued it. Buy it here and show your appreciation for all the great work they are doing. My only complain is about a bit boring and cliche lyrics and maybe too monotone song structure. Next spring (2009) their 2nd full length is coming out at MoonLee Records. Definitely worth of wait because we can expect one of the best Slovenian punk records in recent time! In-Sane MySpace. Downlaod

Low Punch - Act...revolt...live..., 2000 Slovenia Choose Life Records, 2000 HC, Screamo (13 tracks, 24min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 47MB) Not FLOORPUNCH but LOWPUNCH. Besides the name, there are also a lot of musical paralles. LOWPUNCH play classic 80ies old school with very fast drums. Musically you know what you get: dance-parts, sing-alongs, etc. They really know how to present the old school. The songs sound powerful and have lots of spirit. The riffs don't get boring and songs like "it's not over yet" or "..." add even more diversity. "Act...revolt...live" does not get boring although it lasts almost 40 minutes and carries 24 songs (including their old demo). The production is clean and tight. The lyrics deal with our modern society, the punk and hardcore community, the idea of d.i.y., racism, homophobia, etc. Everything is kept really political but without being docmatic or superficial. There's NOTHING about this record that I don't like and if you're into thoughtful old school hardcore you should go for this one! ''KEEP THE FAITH'', Christoph ------------------------------ From start it may sound a bit predictable, but later songs develop in to very listenable hc. At the 13th song you'll be listening really loud and wishing more. Mastering was done by one of the Slovenian best guitarists Bor Zulijan. I don't know if that means a lot, but it must something. :) !I have left out tracks form 14-24 because they are old demo recordings and I find the album very more real without those demo tracks! You can still BUY this album here and here and you won’t regret it! There is also an explanation for all lyrics which is very great. Low Punch MySpace Low Punch Official Download

Naked Raygun - Understand?, 1999 USA Quarterstick, 1999 (Re-mastered: Caroline, 1989) Punk (14tracks, 39min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 81MB) Naked Raygun was a highly influential Chicago-based rock music group. Initially active from the early 1980s to about 1990, Naked Raygun had several short-lived reunions afterwards and a full-time reformation in 2006. From the beginning, their music had a strong sense of melody and songwriting, with Pezzati's lyrics often exploring working class issues. Naked Raygun began in the noise rock/hardcore punk styles, later branching out into more adventurous post hardcore. By their early '90s incarnation, Naked Raygun's melodic tendencies became more pronounced, with strong power pop leanings in the vein of Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers, and The Jam. Durango and Jeff Pezzati were also members of Big Black during the '80s. (NR Wiki) Download

Special Forces formed in 1983 in Berkely, CA.
They play Hardcore and punk, old school style.
This is theirs second full length. They released demo tape in '83, two LPs [WORLD DOMINATION LP (Boner, 1984) and S/T (New Wave, 1987)] plus two 7 inch [RED, WHITE AND BLUE 7" (Shredder, 1991), POSTHUMOUSLY YOURS 7" (Cheetah Records, 2000)]
So this S/T album is kind of hard to track down on the internet and I was lucky enough to find this record and buy it.
Originally I ripped it in FLAC, but I converted it into Mp3 in favor of smaller size.
Enjoy, this is "BERKELY HARDCORE".

Please Inform the Captain This is a Hijack was a six piece political hardcore band based in California in the early years of 2000. The most famous member of the band was Mike Kirsch (Bread and Circuits, Colbom, Fuel, Pinhead Gunpowder, Baader Brains etc.) but the band also featured members from bands including Former Members Of Alfonsin, Life's Halt and The Dirts.
During their time as a band they only released one self-titled six track EP (on 12" vinyl), but 2006 sees the release of a "lost" album, 'Defeat Or Humiliate The United States Of America' (12" vinyl, 1000 pressed - 200 blue/red, 800 black).
Very recommended! In-between tracks make this album very special. And Mike Kirsch has some crazy ideas that are probably at best on this album.
So what to say, THIS IS a HIJACK...

This CD was released by an American enthusiast and music lover - Justin Cudney.
He first came across original Lp in a store in Florida.
Justin was very excited by the underground and exotic HC from Yugoslavia.
Than some two decades later he remembered that this would be a good idea to release it again and to add some new bands, that keep the scene alive, to fill up the space on CD.
That's how this CD came to life. So you got here 11 bands and 44 tracks of pure HC.
(Official presentation @ http://www.batattak-records.com/releases.html)
Originally released in late 1984 or so, this is the licensed re-release of some of the most amazing Hardcore from that era. No no no! This is not that metal HxCx stuff. This is just blistering Hardcore punk the way it was meant to be played - hard and fast. In addition to the re-release of this classic Yugoslavian (now Slovenian) album we have also included numerous unreleased tracks by almost all of the bands. Not to be out done we have also included some of the most amazing punk from that area today. Spanning 20 years, this captures the best of the Ljubljana scene both then and today.

That is how every punk rock show should look like. NO security, NO fence and 10 feet safety space in front of stage.

NIET formed up in 1982 and recorded 27 songs. They tour in France and Yugoslavia. In 1991 when Habič died from od., band quits and reforms in 1993 with guitarist Igor Dernovšek on guitar and vocals. First release contained 4 songs in English from the last band era (after singer death) and all other recorded songs with Primož Habič on vocals. It was released after promotinal tour accros Slovenia in 1993. Vinlmanija than printed live album, recorded in Trieste and Ljubljana in 1985. The release date is 1995. 1996 brought third album with songs published on 1993 edition, but without English songs. It is almost impossible to get these CDs now days, because they were printed in small editions of few hundred copies.
They haven't been the only Punk and HC pioneers in Slovenia at that time, but they caught eye of wider public, mostly because of few slower and more melodic songs from the last era, like Lep dan za smrt (Beautiful day to die), which is also the title of 1996 release.
They re-gathered this year on a small club show, and have a larger concert booked in Križanke place in Ljubljana for 27th of May 2008.

(13 tracks, 38min, CD~Audiograbber~Lame~Mp3@160kbps, 48MB)
Fist 7'' singel Lublana je bolana by Pankrti was released only 1 year after legendary Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. So if we have never been first at anything, Punk was first thing that started in Slovenia at the same time as round the world.
Pankrti (meaning Bastards, from Slovenian word for Punk (PANKrti)), started in a turbulent time when people were fed up with socialistic order of East block Europe (Behind the iron curtain). If u maybe don't know how this worked.. well you couldn't just say what you are thinking, and Punk brought just that. They were supervised and followed by internal police and all that shit, but Yugoslavia was loosing its form as we knew it since end of WW2.
I would put their sound somewhere between Clash, Husker Du and Naked Raygun...
Državni ljubimci is second full length from Pankrti.

If u like them, you should rly buy their record here or here.
"Yes that´s what I call a back flash. A black flash right back to my youth, because GOLLIWOG from Slovenia are just playing this kind of Punkrock like it was famous in the 90´ies. Fast, rocking, melodic and with a huge sense of humor those three guys and the singing girl are taking control over your stereo. They sound really like NoFX, Tilt and the Dance Hall Crasher at their best times. It makes a lot of fun to hear this music. It also continues political influenced but humor full sung lyrics and some songs come with some Skainfluences. From: http://www.trusidemusic.com

Racija was a band from Vrhnika near Ljubljana. Their legacy is three studio albums and very strong influence on those days punks and rockers. Te band quit after they got most of the equipment stolen and also from lack of motivation.
Restavracija za vse generacije is Racija's second album in a row. And in my opinion - the best one.
Other releases were; Rdeči alarm, 1996 and Agenti, 1999. They appear on tribute to NIET (Drz'te jih! TO NISO NIET!!!), with cover of Vijolice.

SpiritCore band Polska Malca started in 1982 with 4 members. It was the first Punk/Hardcore band in this area (Posavje). It was formed by a bass player Gianni. Their first song was called Anti Humanist which came out on a tape "from Plac with Love". The group worked with a few brakes, but was constantly together until 1994. They came to their highest point from the middle to the end of the 80’s, with their concerts across the Europe.In year 1988 their first album was published. It was called "Mojster s snezinko" (A Man with a Snowflake) for the label "Front Rock". And year after that it came out in Germany for "RPN" named "Polska Malca". In the start of 90’s, the members changed, it was well seen in the style. In the year 1990 the band freezes.
Now 13 years later, they got together again with a new guitarist Vójak. Now Polska Malca sounds persuasive like in old good times, but more mature. At the moment they’re playing material from LP "Man with a Snowflake". They’re also preparing new songs from old unrealized material with original tunes. In the year 2008 they’re planning to go on the European tour. Their special wish is to visit again all the stages they have once been on. (From Polska malca MySpace)

Inaugurated in 1992, the No Border Jam Festival is the oldest Slovene underground music festival, a punk festival similar to the ‘If Kids are United’ festival in Vienna, Austria, and the ‘Monte Paradiso’ festival in Pula, Croatia. The programme has presented some significant names of the anarcho-punk and punk scene, including Oi Polloi, Marky Ramone, Citizen Fish, Wat Tyler, Icons of Filth, Anarcrust and several local groups which are well-known in Europe, eg Pridigarji, Scuffy Dogs, Center za dehumanizacijo (CZD) and a number of other new groups. The festival takes place in eastern Slovenia; the first one was held in Ptuj and the second one at Ormož, but all subsequent festivals have been hosted by the Pekarna Cultural Centre in Maribor.
