Not The Same / Headstrong - split



Not The Same / Headstrong (split 7'')

Slovenia
Pancake Records, 1998
Punkrock/skate punk

(04 tracks, 11min, 7''~Sony IC recorder~Mp3@192kbps, 22MB)

Not The Same verjetno vsi poznate, če ne iz koncertov, pa verjetno zaradi takrat precej priljubljenega albuma 'Hate', kateri je eden prvih punk albumov, ki je pripeljal ameriški 90's melodični punkrock v domače loge.
Headstrong igrajo precej sorodno muziko, nevem pa če so še izdali še kaj razen tega splita.
'Without you' od NTS lahko slišite tudi na albumu 'Hate', 'Blackhole' pa je verjetno izdana samo na tem splitu.

(Kvaliteta tega ripa je malce šepava, zaradi moje 'vrhunske' opreme. Je pa ok za slišat kaj se skriva na temle na 321 kosov omejenem 7inču, če ste ga pač sfalili).

---------------------------------

Not the same was one of first slovenian punkrock bands in 90's that followed at that time popular melodic punkrock and skate influenced punk as was heard from Epitaph and Fat Wreck bands.
Headstrong play something similar, but I think they never got to release a full length album like Not The Same did with 'Hate' in 1998. First track 'Without you' can also be found on the mentioned album, while 'Blackhole' wasn't released elsewhere but this split.
The 7'' was recorded way back in 1998 and printed in only 321 copies.

(The quality of the rip is a bit crappy, thanks to my lack of time and money to get a better equipment, but it will give you a taste what's locked on the clear green plastic).

Golliwog - Plague Allegiance





Golliwog - Plague Allegiance, 2010

Slovenia
Chainsaw Records, 2010
punkrock/melodycore

(16 tracks, 34min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 86MB)


Golliwog so trenutno najbolj vroč slovenski punkrock/punk band. To sama po sebi potrjuje njihova kvaliteta in profesionalnost zadnjega (in tudi prejšnjega) albuma.
Plague Allegiance je super album, ki z vso častjo nasleduje prejšnjega (More than meets diy, iz leta 2006). Kolikor sem zasledil je album odlično sprejet tudi (ali predvsem?) izven Slovenije.
Band nadaljuje s hitrimi in melodičnimi komadi v stilu melodycore bandov iz 90ih.
Močno je zastopan tudi vpliv Nofx, vendar ne preveč moteče, saj njihovi komadi vseeno odzvenijo sveže.
Besedila se gibljejo od zafrkancije do opozarjanja na svetovno ureditev in celo skrivnostnih a očitno vplivnih (konspirativnih) organizacij in pojavov.

Definitvno priporočam nabavo tega albuma (najbolje kar direkt od banda), saj je gotovo ena boljših izdaj domače punkrock scene v zadnjih letih, sploh, če ste odrasli z melodičnim (skate komerc) punkom sredi 90ih.

---------------------------------


Golliwog is one of the hottest Slovenian punkrock bands on the scene. Their f-male fronted fast and melodic punkrock is very well accepted all over the world, even though 90's are gone long time ago, this album will take you to the best years of that era melodycore.
After debut (1st real) album 'More than meets DIY' from 2006, this album is logical sequel of their sound.
How can you go wrong with 16 tracks of melodic punk with lyrics about world order and (secret) organizations?

Be sure to grab the CD that comes with thick booklet and cool designed digipak. I doubt you'll regret it.
