Punk/Raggae/Ska..

(13 tracks, 43min, CD~Lame~Mp3@V0, 90MB)

Probably most successful Slovenian punk band, that built their base of fans with original sound and mostly fun and unforgettable live performances. This is their 4th album (1999, 2001(re-mastered)-MOVE YOUR FEET IT'S ONE O'CLOCK, 2000-GO HOME AND PRACTICE, 2004-SUMMER EDITION). Against the Gravity was produced by some hot shot names in Usa (Produced by Bill Gould - Bass @ Faith No More, Mixed by Rich Veltrop - Tom Petty, Rage Against the Machine, Slayer, System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ozzy with South Park,...) They have distanced a bit from their originality and innovative song structure with this album. The perfect sound and melodies are also reaching for larger commercial success, but they lost some previous Elvis Jackson with it. Some songs are almost too cliché, what we were not used wit them in the past. All in all this is very solid album, that will reach more people than previous ones. It is a proof that Slovenian band can match popular world artists. Definitely worth checking out.

Don't forget to visit a show within the rest of the tour (dates available @ official EJ site), you will not be disappointed!

Section 8 - Make Ends Meet

Section 8 - Make Ends Meet, 2000 Sweden Burning Heart Records, 2000 Old School HC (12 tracks, 32min, CD~Lame~Mp3@V0, 71MB) What you have here is one of the most real HC albums that came out from BHR. In my opinion it could be one of the best BHR releases of all time (not considering commercial success probably :P ). It holds 12 fast Old School HC tracks, with some great guitar lines and cool vocals. Songs don't lack melodic parts or anything to be honest. If you are a HC fan this is a must for you to listen. Enjoy! Download

O! Kult - Novi Rock '82

O! Kult - Novi Rock '82, Live in Križanke, 1982 Slovenia (Yug) Radio Študent-1982, Remastered 2007 Punk (6tracks, 20min, Mp3@192kbps, 28MB) O! KULT was established on May 4 1982 at 3:05pm, on the second anniversary of the death of the president of the then Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia, marshal Tito. The group emerged and was active in Medvode near Ljubljana. O! KULT was first of all an uncompromisingly direct and politically engaged punk group. It was active from 1982 to 1986. Because of its political engagement, the group O! KULT was one of the more censored and controlled groups in the then Socialist Republic of Slovenian as well as of Yugoslavia. This live recording is 20 minutes of pure punk action, O! KULT played six songs. Because of the uncompromisingly direct and politically and social lyrics and statements, two of the songs were censored and not broadcasted live on Radio Slovenia (Tovariši! - Čigavi, Zahvala zahvalam).
