Ženevski Dekret (Geneve Decree) - 10 Godina (10 Years)

Ženevski Dekret - 10 Godina, 1997 Bosnia unreleased Punk/Hc (12 tracks, 41 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 68MB) Ženevski Dekret formed in Mostar - Bosnia in 1984, playing trash HC Punk under influence of Finish HC bands of that time. Their first album called "MOSTAR" was recorded in Slovenia in '87. After the debut release their singer left because of personal differences. In 1988 their second full length was recorded with new singer in Sarajevo, called "DONT WANNA BE A PART OF FUCKIN' MASS", including some wider specter of punk/hc/r'n'r styles. They've been one of more influential bands in that time Yugoslavia, played alot of shows and appeared on various compilations (Čudeža nebo CASS, Naša četica koraka CASS, The Return of Yugoslavia LP, High Road To Obscurity CD, No Border Jam 4&5 CD, Ni Strahu VHS...) In 1996 three members met by coincidence in Sweden, where they moved to. And in March 1997 they recorded 10 Godina (10 Years) album with new guitarist, that was never officialy released. (The rumor is it was supposed to be released by Slovenian Front Rock Records from Maribor.) In 1998/99 they played few shows and than band members moved to other projects. In 2006 they announced a reunion with new album to come out "THE BEST OF"(1985-2006) with remastered songs from the past and some new ones. I believe it was also never officially released. In January 2007 their dear friend and original lead guitarist Djoko passed away, which was a very sad experience for the band and after that they decided to take break with Geneve Decree.

Rights Reserved

Rights Reserved - Rights Reserved, 1996 USA (North Carolina) Assorted Porkchops, 1996 Punk/Hc/emo (10 tracks, 24 min, 12''~?~?~Mp3@192kbps, 34MB) This is RRs first and last full lenhgt. It varies from emo to almost popy punk parts. Song rhytmics and technical, but melodical integrety of this album, makes it one of the most interesting Emo-Hc records from 90s. Oh, and not to forget Rights Reserved had one of the best F-male singers in punk rock.. Out of print, 700 pressed. Download Rights Reserved + Assfactor 4 - Under water and hatin' it (split), 1993 USA (North Carolina) Punk lunch tunes and food, 1993 Punk/Hc/emo (03 tracks, 10 min, 7''~?~Lame~Mp3@VBR, 18MB) Assfactor from South Carolina plays two* chaotic hardcore songs, that remind on clasic 80s HC. But Assfactor play them with just a little more intelligent approach especially considering music structure and execution in studio. (* joined in one track) Rights Reserved play also two songs when first one 'Hey Dad' is slower, with bass line taking the lead role, keeping the song together. Second song 'Persimmon' is melodic but pissed faster garage, punk. Download Rights Reserved - Galleons lap 7'', 1993 USA (North Carolina) La Cocina Records; Rights Reserved, 1993 Punk/Rock (04 tracks, 17 min, 7''~?~Lame~OGG@VBR, 33MB) Rights Reserved on this earlier material play probably the most unique project for them. Four songs take you from fast melodic punk to almost mainstream rock with 'high school freedom' feeling. (I've taken this from great 90hc/emo blog: Antithesis.) Download

EAGLE BRAVO

Eagle Bravo - 1 sided 12" (8 Three Dimension Full Stereo Songs), 1998 USA (North Carolina) Gridsector; Asorted Pork Chops, 1998* Screamo/Hc (08 tracks, 18min, 12''~?~?~Mp3@160kbps, 20MB) Tracklist: Radar Detector Detector Detector Iron Rod VS. The Chevy Summa' Jams 35, 45, Whatever You Said It, Chairman Robotman Today Is Broken Louse Members of Rights reserved, El sucio played together on this Eagle Bravo project. They split before completing the album. So there was material for only half of 12''vinyl. It was supposed to be released at Assorted porkchops records, but was released after a while at Gridsector records. The 12'' is printed in 700 copies. Bass and guitar lines with this 8 tracks, show the potential Eagle Bravo band had. Defenetley worth of checking for al Hc fans and explorers. There is even a fan Eagle Bravo MySpace page, where you can pre-listen few tracks. *Folder and files are tagged as 1996, but the album dates in 1998. Sorry for that. Download * 2.2.2009 post update: Eagle Bravo - The Kids Are Not Allright 7'', 1996 USA (North Carolina) Crunchy Music Records, 1996 Screamo/Hc (03 tracks, 11min, 7''~?~?~Mp3@160kbps, 40MB) Tracklist: A1 Motivational Therapy A2 Robot Man B1 Not So Many - Fuck You Ms. Riley This is their 7'' that was recorded in 1995 in some store and so is the sound poorer than on '98 album. Only Robot Man, was re-recorded later. The music indicates where the band will go with he sound in their short time together. The sound and songs are way less perfected than on full length. Pretty rare stuff these days, but it looks like you can still buy it from Pig Zen Space online distro. You can alo get some older Emo/Hc downloads there. Each album costs 3,50$ and even if it is very out of date distro, it works! (tested with paypal). Download

VA - UNTERHUND - Veselica v živo; 26.10.1996

UNTERHUND - Veselica v živo, 1997 Slovenia Front Rock, 1997 Punk/HC/Crust/Ska (17 tracks, 30 min, 12''Viny~?~?~Mp3@128, 43MB) This is a live compilation from Unterhund club in Ormož, Slovenia. KRISTUŠI that mix some raw street punk with trumpet and PPRIDIGARJI with more ska filled songs, are featured on A side. When B side is more crust HC like with NOISE ORDER and WASSERDICHT. This album brings you as close as possible, hearing these bands at their best times, playing pissed of punk and having fun doing it. All bands were formed in early 90s (Pridigarji - 1988. Wasserdich - 90, Noise Order - 94) and played pretty much underground scene home and also abroad. They all have bunch of various splits and albums, that are mostly sold out and hard to get. The only still active band till today are Pridigarji. You can pick some of their CDs at their shows or MySpace contact. I believe you can still get this on a plastic 12'' by contacting Subkulturni Azil. Download

Center Za Dehumanizacijo - CZD

Center Za Dehumanizacijo - CZD The story of CZD – Center for Dehumanization begins in the late 1970’s and early 80's when its forming members Bojan Tomažič and Dušan Hedl were playing in bands Butli, Džumbus and Masaker. All of them together formed a closely connected scene which was centered around the club in Trate, at the same time functioning as one of the first punk clubs in this part of Europe (besides the FV in Ljubljana). Regular guests were people from Maribor as well as other parts of Slovenia and former Yugoslavia, mixed with guests from Austria, which was one of the reasons the band members and others were accused of espionage. Among other activities they published the Bla, bla, bla fanzine and in 1984, CZD was formed. Starting off as a trio, the band later appeared on the Novi rock festival in the former Yugoslavia. Dušan Hedl started his own record publishing business, at first for his own band CZD, and later on Front Rock and its vinyl release developed into a proper underground institution. CZD soon became a legend, with the help of their friends on the punk scene their first tape appeared on every possible punk consuming point across the globe. The band kept publishing records and touring Europe, and several books were published about the band and the club. In 2003 performed at the European capital of culture opening in Graz (Austria) and in 2004 at the Punk kongress in Kassel (Germany). The forming members Dušan and Bojan are also the founders of a punk singing choir called Punkapella (with Mike Pride), seated in New York. CZD offers an incredible story, and once becoming its part, there is no saving you. By listening to their work, you will invariably become a patient of the Center For Dehumanization. (David Mestrovsky – CZD patient) Taken from the: ''Prvi člen: The Constitution'' LP inlay Here is almost complete discography of this legendary, underground but still very influental and culturaly active band and movement called Center For Dehumanization. It is missing only ON THE RED SCREEN - 1994 7'' and POKOZLANE TRATE - 1996 CD. You can still get most of their music and shirts (and other Front Rock releases,) direct from Mr. Dušan Hedl by visiting SUBKULTURNI-AZIL page.

Gonzales - Checkmate

Gonzales - Checkmate, 2008 Italy Chorus of one Rec, 2008 Punk 'n' Roll (10 tracks, 29min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 69MB) This is the second album from Punk/rock 'n' roll band coming from Italy (Trieste-Venice-Treviso). The band has become even a bit Slovene, with new bass player Tilen from Trieste, joining them just recently :) The sound is garage sounding and real enough to say that these guys are not just poseurs, but that they play with head and heart for the music. They can also play great live performance, maybe even better than on the record. Check them out if you like Muškat Hamburg, Zeke, Puffball... They will also be happy to send you their albums on CD or Vinyl and other merch! Check them at Gonzales MySpace or write to: gonzales-hell@libero.it Download

Multiball - The Days That Follow...

Multiball - The Days That Follow..., 2009 Slovenia Kurz Rock Vibe; RSQ, 2009 Pop Punk/rock (12 tracks, 39min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 66MB) So here is the third record in a row from one of most active bands in Slovenia. First two ('At Last!' and 'Endless Yourney' are also available on this blog). It was issued with February 2009 RSQ magazine as a digipak CD. The sound on the record is very polished and almost perfect, but whole album lacks some innovations with melodies and vocal lines. It is not so easy to stand out with pop/punkrock these days, especially if you wish to succeed outside the Slovenian borders. In general The Days That Follow is very decent album, but I can't help not to think boys can do even better.. Multiball MySpace Download
