Grindcore / Anarcho punk

(21 tracks, 48 min, Cassette~Audacity~Mp3@320kbps)

Zgodnji relis obeh bandov. 

Sodn dan kasneje posname skoraj vse komade na novo in jih izda na svojih kasnejših izdajah.  

Tudi od Aktivne komadi se znajdejo na kasnejšem albumu, a ne vsi. 

Skratka delno demo zadeva, ki ni čisto demo, je pa direkt v žilo.

Dobra punkačina za tiste, ki ne nucamo nujno speglane produkcije.

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

This is early release of two Slovenian bands already presented here with most of their later releases. Sodn Dan is grindcore band from Železniki and Aktivna Propaganda is anarcho punk band from Ljubljana. Most of these songs are later re-recorded and released on various releases.

Good primal blast from cassette days past.

Evo na 13. rojstni dan tega bloga oz. prve objave leta 2008 (katere link še vedno dela, AVE Mediafire!), vam z veseljem serviram eno meni ljubših in najposebnejših domačih alter. skupin: Polska malca (ustanovljena 1982).

Vedno malo odštekani in posebni ne glede na zasedbo, katero so skozi čas kar nekajkrat malo prevetrili. 

Muziko verjetno poznate, giblje pa se od inštrumentalne na obeh vinilnih izdajah, do bolj žanrsko razširjenega rocka z vokalom, kot lahko slišimo na tej izdaji. Kasete sam še nisem slišal do pred kratkim. Album je vrhunski, ni pa lahek in prijazen hitremu poslušalcu. Poslušajte večkrat, vsak komad skriva genialne kose rock'n'rolla in je v celoti preprosto mojstrovina tistega časa. Kot rečeno ni na prvo žogo in ni se za čudit, da nekega komercialnega dometa sredi 90. ni bil deležen. Besedila in glas Miloša Radosavljevića ustvarijo mračen duh, verjetno je zvočna težina naravna posledica osebnih borb in pečat post-socialističnega juriša v kapitalizem. 

Komadi so posneti leta 1994 v zasedbi: Gianni Kovač - bas, Uroš Srpčič - bobni (tudi Demolition Group, Lolita), Tomaž Urh - kitara (tudi Mama Dolores), Bojan Stopar - kitara (tudi Phonebox Vandals, Baby Zdravo, bobni Res Nullius), Miloš Radosavljević - vokal (tudi It’s not for sale, Non Finire Mai, Shiam).

Diskografija - Polska Malca:

-  kompilacija kaseta: Čudeža ne bo (VF založba, 1985)

-  kompilacija kaseta: Provinca vrača udarec (label Slovenija, 1986)

-  LP Mojster s snežinko (Front Rock, 1990)

-  LP Polska Malca (RPN records, 1991)

-  kompilacija CD: No Border Jam (Front Rock, 1993)

-  kaseta Children Game (Malca Records, 1995) 

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

This is for me personally one of the best Slovenian bands with great musical skill, formed in 1982. It changed members along the way, obviously sound and direction also. They have released 3 full lengths with 2 on vinyl and this one, as their last release, on tape. Appeared on many compilations and live tapes. Their music was mostly instrumental hardcore to math and something in between. 

This tape is all over alternative genres. It's everything but fast casual listen. You mustn't rush this one and give it couple of runs. It's some sort of masterpiece of that era. It's dark and heavy in it's own way. Personal struggles and stamp of new born republic of Slovenia ending episode of collective nation's history and stirring a lot of unknown waters in the sea of future. Members went to play other bands later and some are still musically active.

Skoraj je ušla tale zadeve mimo mene, čeprav sem potiho upal na izdajo vse od ca. l. 2010, ko sem prvič slišal da Baader Brains ni bil zadnji in edini takratni projekt, takrat še Mike Kirscha, kasneje poznanega pod imenom Sarah Kirsch. Sarah je žal preminila leta 2012, kmalu po zadnji (nenapovedani) izdaji Baader Brains - New Era Hope Colony, po težki bolezni, ki jo je vzela očitno sredi največje ustvarjalne vihre.
Kdor Mikea oz. Sarah ne pozna, ima pred sabo eno dolgo raziskovalno nalogo, saj je vsaj zame eden večjih genijalcev hardcore muzike in alternativnega arta nasploh.
Da omenim samo nekaj perfektnih projektov katerih duša, predvsem pa kitara in vokal je bila Sarah: Fuel, Torches To Rome, Please Inform The Captain This Is A Hijack (katerih 'Defeat Or Humiliate The United States Of America' je zame eden najboljših HC albumov vseh časov), Baader Brains in še kar nekaj.
Prav vse plate pa so vizualni presežek tudi grafično s tiskom in vsebino. Standard v ovitku so knjige z grafikami in besedili, plakati, skrivna pisma, manifesti, priročniki za gverilo itd..
Več izdaj tu: https://www.discogs.com/artist/684420-Mike-Kirsch.

Skratka tole je dokaj frišna, malce nepričakovana, žal posthumna izdaja. Plato lahko nabavite direktno pri Clean Plate Records, ampak je poštnina kar mastna, torej provajte srečo v EU.
Material je bil posnet nekje v 2010/11, Sarah pa je očitno že prej zmiksala odlične intermece in grafično podobo, popolnoma v stilu Baader Brains in PITCTIAH.

Odprite PDF z besedili in uživajte gverilsko godbo poslednjih mohikancev.

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

This is Sarah Kirsch's posthumously released material - a unique and stubborn artifact of American HC that is on it's last legs. Who does not know Mike Kirsh, later known as Sarah has a lot to compensate and should start now. Yes, your mission is your objective and vice versa.
Sadly Sarah left this place in 2012, just around the release of Baader Brains - New Era Hope Colony which is fantastic also.
Like every release Kirsch (mostly guitar, lead vocals and art) was involved in this is a masterpiece of sound, lyrics and art in general. All the records with stuff inserted are just pure art. You should try and grab them anywhere (Fuel, Torches To Rome, Bread and Circuits, Please Inform The Captain This Is A Hijack, Baader Brains..).
This one you really should grab direct from Clean Plate Records.

Pl/ease open the PDF booklet in the folder and enjoy it with the music.

O bandu je bilo tu že nekaj povedanega že krepkih 8 let nazaj. Tole je njihov zadnji relis, saj so v letu 2016 kot band, po 25ih letih skupnega delovanja odpluli v večna lovišče. Obalni hardkoraši so v teh letih pretlačili mnogo odrov, v zapuščini pa poleg dema in kasete posnete v živo pustili še dva dolgometražna albuma: www.borba.non-stop, 2003 in desetletje kasneje Hardcore, 2013.
Na njem režejo v svojem nespremenjenem slogu punka, hardcora in še česa.

Alternative rock/punk

[23 tracks, 72 min, CDr ~ (iTunes) ~ Mp3@320kbps]

Tole je že kar 17 let stara kompilacija štirih pretežno primorskih skupin.
Zvekete iz Pivškega konca so furali nekakšno mešanico garage rocka in hardcora, kraševci Strahuljari so špilali nekakše math ekseprimental, Postojnci Kislu Grozdje pa so bili hard rockerji, ki so se spogledovali s punkom in  Če ne drugje, ste Kislu grozdje zasledili na tribute to Niet kompilaciji, Držte jih to niso Niet, kjer so priredili pesem Melanholija.
Žoambo Ž. Workestrao pa so še najbolj znani, sicer edini iz prestolnice in zdi se mi, da še edini aktivni danes. Na kompilaciji so odgovorni za dva prifuknjena komada v njihovem slogu eksperimentiranja in glasbenega performensa. Na kompilaciji je tudi komad postojnskih Leponex, ki dodajo popolnoma odfukan nosie grind z naslovom Nori, ki kar dobro opiše njihov zvok.

Kompilacija je dokaj zaniv dokument kraško-notranjske alternativne rock scene v izdihljajih 90ih.
Od večine bandov so to verjetno edini pravi studijski posnetki, ki so bili kdaj izdani.
Tako eksperimentalne godbe se danes ne gre skoraj noben band več, zato je mogoče tale kompilacija še večji spomenik zvokom, ki se težko še kdaj vrnejo v študentske bunkerje polite z bambusom in oljem od apnšestk.

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

This is an old compilation of four mainly Postojna region bands Zvekete, Strahuljarji, Kislu Grozdje in Žoambo Žoet Workestrao. The music is mostly experimental / math rock with some hardcore and punk influences. These are probably only proper recorded songs from the bands, except ŽŽW which have many other releases.

Dobro da se Final Approach nikoli niso dejansko ustavili, saj so skoraj točno dve leti nazaj dostavili njihov najboljši material do sedaj. Z malce zamude ga poveličajmo še v naši jami.

Vrhunska izdaja NeRecords kompletne serije posnetkov skupine 92 je bila izdana že leta 2013. V paketu je Nenad (iz Švedske) v 12'', 7'' in CD zapakrial verjetno vse dobre ohranjene posnetke omenjene skupine.
Uradno so izdali zgolj 7'' - Od šestih do dveh (1980). Naslovni singel je tudi njihov najbolj znan komad, ki se pojavi tudi na mnogih Yugoslovanskih kompilacijah.
Skratka gre za izdajo velikega arhivskega pomena. Sploh pa je muzika tako kul, da bi bila izjemna škoda, da ti posnetki ne bi nikoli našli etra.

Več: https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grupa_92

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

(Group) 92 was a Slovenian New Wave, Post Punk formation active from 1975-1982.
Their only official release is 1980's 7'' Od šestih do dveh (From six to two, talking about a workers state of mind when feeling like a robot).
This retrospective release (NeRecords) of probably all of their good recordings is a little Slovenian music treasure, because the band was very on track with European scene at that time and is a great pleasure to listen even today.

GRUPA 92 was clearly among the most promising ex-Yu new wave/punk bands.

But they ended up being perhaps the most underrated band.  Yes, they were almost forgotten. It's hard to grasp that they only released one single and contributed with two songs on a V/A album  "Novi punk val" with other ex-yu punk bands, even though they played many gigs and got a lot of attention in media and were played on TV.      

This is a collection of all their songs from the years that they were active (1978-83).  It's an amazing musical trip of almost 60 minutes and an very important piece of music  that long ago should've gotten it's deserved place because it is simply  P-H-E-N-O-M-E-N-A-L!!!!

Tokrat skačemo spet na začetek konca rajnke Yuge.
LP celjske Hard Rock, Hardcore, Groovi nevem kaj.. je precej zanimiva muzealija slo rocka. 
Ker so pred kratim preko 'Slušaj Najglasnije' iz Zagreba izdali Live posnetke koncerta v Eindhovnu, se je o bandu po netu kar veliko razpisalo. Omenjeni koncert je vreden poslušanja, saj ga odžgejo zelo suvereno. Najhitreje ga slišite na RŠ podstrani rš-koncert.

Biografijo kradem in lepim spodaj: 

Konec preteklega leta je izšel prvi dolgometražni album celjskih alter rockerjev Phonebox Vandals. Odličen posnetek odličnega koncerta izpred četrt stoletja iz nizozemskega Eindhovna, takrat enega najbolj obetajočih slovenskih in tudi jugoslovanskih bendov.

Minilo je četrt stoletja od nastanka posnetkov koncerta Phonebox Vandals v okviru festivala Pre - Stab v nizozemskem Eindhovnu. Konec preteklega leta jih je na plano postavila zagrebška neodvisna založba Slušaj najglasnije!. Koncertni album Live in Eindhoven je verodostojen dokument, ki odpira vpogled v alternativno rokovsko sceno konec osemdesetih na nekdanjem skupnem jugoslovanskem prostoru, predvsem pa nam predstavi šestčlansko zasedbo iz Celja.  

Phonebox Vandals so v tistem času veljali za veliki up nekdanjega skupnega alter glasbenega prostora. Med razpoznavne sta Celjane poleg rednega nastopanja na jugoslovanskih, italijanskih in avstrijskih odrih hitro lansirala festivala YURM '89 in Novi Rock '89.

Zasedba je nastala leta 1987 in je prve studijske posnetke naredila v studiu Boruta Činča, nekdanjega Buldožerja, producenta in glasbenega mecena mnogih rokovskih bendov nekje od osemdesetih let dalje. Po štirih songih, posnetih pri Činču, je zasedba nadaljevala s studijsko dejavnostjo pri prvi jugoslovanski neodvisni založbi iz Zagreba Blind Dog Records. Posnetki, narejeni pri Činču, so dobili mesto na dveh kompilacijah, na kaseti zagrebške neodvisne založbe Beyoop in na dolgometražni vinilki The Return of Yugoslavia prav tako zagrebške založbe Street Tuff Records. Novi posnetki niso zadovoljili, zato so zgolj sedem skladb od dvanajstih odtisnili v vinil in zapakirali v mini album z naslovom Damned Die Hard pri že omenjeni založbi Blind Dog Records. Ta vinilka je edina uradna izdaja celjskih Phonebox Vandals do decembra lani, ko je, kot smo že rekli, izšel cede Live in Eindhoven. Po pričevanjih so bili posnetki iz Eindhovna takoj prepoznani kot prava zvočna slika zasedbe, zato se je založba Blind Dog Records odločila izdati koncertni singel z dvema posnetkoma. S tem so poskušali popraviti zvočni vtis mini albuma Damned Die Hard, vendar singel nikdar ni ugledal luči sveta zaradi začetka vojne leta 1991. Posnetki dvanajstih skladb s koncerta v Eindhovnu so se izgubili v vojni vihri, bend in skupna država pa sta razpadla. 

No, po vseh možnih tragedijah in tranziciji devetdesetih let ter po novodobni pozabi se je kaseta s posnetki vendarle našla. Posnetke je ponovno zmešal in zmasteriziral producent Grega Peer, zopet jih je založila zagrebška neodvisna založba, tokrat založba Zdenka Franjića, Slušaj najglasnije!. V ušesa poslušalstva Radia Študent pa jih polagamo v oddaji RŠ Koncert. Zdaj, tu in za vekomaj!

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

Phone Box Vandals – the rebirth of a cult band
This is a most unusual story of a young underground band from Slovenia, which started to perform in their unique compelling style in a time which proved to be the last days of Yugoslavia. The former country was very well known for the quality of rock and underground bands as there was obviously a lot to rebel against. It was 1989, and the new-comers Phone Box Vandals started to captivate alternative venues around Yugoslavia, performing at two of the most prestigious events – Novi Rock in Ljubljana and Yu Rock Moment (YURM) which was the largest new talent roadshow (bands had to perform in different venues in other republics of Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia .. etc) where they were making a name for themselves.
In 1990, they published a very disappointing LP record (Damned Die Hard) with Zagreb Publisher Blind Dog Records (they were so disappointed with the producing; they reduced the number of tracks from 12 to 7). In the second half of 1990, they performed internationally, in Austria, Italy and more significantly at the end of 1990, they were a part of cultural exchange with Netherlands, which took place in Eindhoven (Pre Stab Festival), along with many other Slovene alternative bands. They had a very memorable concert, which was to be their peak performance. The concert was recorded and they wanted to publish a single, in order to show, that the previous LP was a fluke. But it was not to be. Soon the war broke out, first in Slovenia and later in other parts of Yugoslavia. Phone Box Vandals had lost their market, changed their members, changed their style and changed their name. The members of the original band, were still doing music through other outlets; few of them are still active to this day.
Last year, in 2015, the recordings of that Pre Stab Festival were found. Those who heard them, were amazed how good they were. Peter Schmidt, one of the original members (along with Mitja Koštomaj-guitar, Bojan Stopar-drums, Iztok (Itz) Mravlje-bass, Vojko (Floyd) Hlupić-bass and Matjaz Mlakar-vocal), took it upon himself to master and digitalize them, and to try and publish it after 25 years. It was to be a sentimental gesture. But when people listened to the CD, they realized, that this is still a very much in time music, alternative and powerful even in present time. The time did not have any effect on the uniqueness of style and energy of the band. The themes are still very strong, the lyrics still very much relevant and actual. A few critics, that listened to the CD, were full of praise (a Croatian critic even gave them the perfect 10, which even the late Bowie did not get) and the recordings, that were lost along with the band in the turbulence of history, has been defrosted 25 years later in perfect conditions.

Ponavadi ne loudam tako 'znanih' zadevščin, ampak kar sem potegnil za poslušanje z neta, je bilo totalno sranje. Zato sem zripal na novo. Record Store Day 2016 izdaja. Komada pa sta ostanka demo posnetkov za prihajajoči album.

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

This is probably all around the net now, but what I came across was so poorly ripped, that I decided to do it also by my self. This is 2016 Record store day release including demo recordings from upcoming album sessions.

Under Anchor / All Hype - split

Under Anchor / All Hype - split 7''
Truth and Justice Records ‎– VETA-10, 2009
Hardcore - SE / Powerviolence

(4 tracks, 12 min, 7'' ~ (SL1210 MK2 + M44-7 + Pro-Ject Phono Box USB / Audacity+Lame) ~ MP3@320kbps)


Zelo jezen 7''. Under Anchor šibajo hiter lahko bi rekli Powerviolence na momente, ostalo O.S.
Pevec me spominja na domače Low Punch :]
All Hype pa so malce težji in počasnejši. Špilajo O.S. + SxE in so meni ljubša polovica ploščate plastike.
All Hype imajo še en 7 inč, ki sem ga enkrat že uploadal in ga linkam spodaj. Pod Sidrom pa LP iz 2013 (There is no end). Sllit ni datiran, bi ga pa postavil v 2009, glede na to, da sta oba benda komade posnela pozno 2008. Eko. Lahko bi bil krimič, lahko se pa motim.

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

This is one pissed of 7''. Had to cool it with a bucket of water after ripping.
Under Anchor play Old School HC with taste of powerviolence.
All Hype are somewhat similar but more HC than Under Anchor are HC. Whatever I'm saying makes no sense, so just have a listen.
The seven inch is not dated, but I would guess 2009, since both bands recorded these songs in late 2008. Under Anchor have a full length from 2013 titled 'There is no end', while All Hype have one 7'', linked under. I and my friend Discogs are not aware of any other releases by these two bands.
You can also grab other All Hype 7'', I ripped some time ago. Cheers.

Nič kaj veliko ne vem o tem bandu, le da sem dobil ta 7'' ob nekem naročilu muzike kot darilo. 

Ker zadeva sploh ni slaba in je na netu ne najdem, jo dajem v posluh. 

Ne vem ali imajo zunaj še kaj drugega. Špilajo dokaj klasičen 2000eta HC z nekaj melodike. 

Takole na hitro bi jih lahko primerjal s kakimi Modern Life Is War. Škoda da ni posneto generalno malo bolj 'profesionalno', ampak zadeva je vseeno vredu. 

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

There is nothing I know of this band, except that nothing, not even this 7'' can be found by quick google search. They play 2000's HC with no big surprises. Closest to compare would be Modern Life Is War. Not really the best recordings this deserves I guess, but at the end it's just fine. If you can't ride a mammoth anymore, this is second best thing to it.

Odpisani, ki so se nazadnje na sceno vrnili 2014 z albumom 'Šah mat', so žgali hardcore že v časih prometnega davka. Prihajajo iz avtonomne republike Beltinci. Žgali so takrat, žgejo še danes. Večinoma punk hardcore s par gruvi vložki (v sledeh). Katrca na naslovnici je odpisana. Ekološka taksa plačana.

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

Hardcore veterans from Prekmurje region. Well this is their debut album, so they are not veterans on this release, but sure are on 2014 album 'Šah mat' (Chech mate). Good hardcore punk, great cover art. I checked on discogs and looks like they also released a second album in 2000 called Partisan Hard Core, that I was not aware of. So be a good blog visitor and sell it to me, if your mother has it between ambiental relax music. Favorite track: 'What I Need'.

Golliwog so že stari znanci slovenske punkrock scene, tako da verjetno posebne predstavitve ne potrebujejo. Tokrat so izdali remasterizirano izdajo prvega albuma 'More than meets d.i.y.' na rdeči vinilki, omejeni na 300 komadov. Album ostaja speven in energičen tudi 10 let od prvotne izdaje (uf 10 let!!). Korozija časa ga ni prav nič razjedla. Razlika v posnetku je. Preverite še sami. Še najbolje pa je seveda poslušati direktno s plate.

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

Greetings punk-rock listening Earthlings. This is Golliwog on vinyl, for the first time. And it comes in shape of red, limited to 300 pieces. Wait, that's not all, this debut album is now remastered, which is only one reason more, you need to have this. It is very hard to come across original CD, so expect this will go out of stock even faster. Have fun, have a listen and go to links below to support the band. Cheers!

Hardcore / Grind / Crust

(26 tracks, 41 min, 12'' ~ (SL1210 MK2 + M44-7 + Pro-Ject Phono Box USB / Audacity+Lame) ~ MP3@320kbps)


Wassedicht so bili očitno rojeni za izdajanje splitov in ne se čudit podatku, da je njihova kompletna diskografija sestavljena zgolj iz split izdaj. Nič slabega seveda. Tokrat se bomo omastili s split LPjem z nemškimi Humanitär. Humanitär stran je za moj okus malce preveč šumeča grindovska godba. Na trenutke se mi zdi da sem falil hitrost platerja pri snemanju, ampak nisem in je zadeva dejansko odvrtena na 33rpm! Niti nevem ali je moj sestav tako v kurcu ali pa je zadeva tako posneta. Skratka zvok muzike je kot da je vse skupaj posneto na en mikrofon sredi sobe. No mogoče celo je. Skratka res hiter grindcore, thrash..

..medtem pa na drugi strani Wasserdicht uprizorijo najboljše od njihovega opusa. Škoda da niso nadaljevali do danes, ker so svoje strukture komadov in zvok lepo nadgrajevali skozi čas. Slišati se da celo kak solo na kitari in punkrokiš palm-mute. Brez heca. Kolikor vem je to njihov predzadnji relis pred split 3'' CDjem z makedonskimi F.P.O. Sicer se očitno dečki še zberejo da kakšno zagodejo, vsaj za kompilacijo (Trubute to Pridigarji - 2013 in Zrcalo Dehumanizacije - 2011).

V mapo sem dodal tudi fotko besedil, da jih boste prepevali skupaj z najmlajšimi: '' Svet je lep, če si slep. Svet je lep, če si slep!! '' 
Poklonili so se tudi Sazasu: '' Izginite paraziti, Odnesite svoje debele riti, Nismo člani vaše mafije, Nočemo vaše zaščite, Avtorske pravice so naša stvar, A vas zanima le denar, Radi bi vzeli kar vam ne pripada, Da lahko žepe polni si estrada. SAZAS Paraziti. ''

Ker več robe od njih, kar je že naloženo, nimam, split z Scuffy Dogsi pa že kroži po netu, si v slovo Wasserdichtarjem zgolj še zažvižgam: '' Trobec gizdalin, Ne kuri na plin, Kdor s Trobcem se igra,, V peči prasketa. Metod Trobec, Ti zapre gobec....

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

This is a grindcore, hardcore, thrash LP split from Germans Humanitär and Slovenian Wasserdicht. Humanitär side is recorded in some low profile so it sounds kinda strange, almost like the speed when recording was wrong, but was in fact 33rpm. It is not terrible, but you need to be a real grind fan to really enjoy it. They play fast as fuck. The drummer is a robot if you ask me. 
Wasserdicht side brings more downtempo grindcore/punk. Still fast, only slow compared to Humanitär. For my opinion this is Wasserdicht best release in their discography (that completely consists of splits !). Afaik later they have only released one more split with Macedonian straight forward hardcore band F.P.O. Do check this out.

Predvidevam da In-Sane banda na domači sceni niste spregledali, sploh ker je šlo za enega bolj aktivnih bandov na sceni. Kolikor sem spremljal so veliko preigrali po tujini, tudi doma se jih je dalo pogosto ujeti in nikoli niso razočarali. Tale CD je na plano privekal točno leto za omenjenim jubilejnim koncertom. Žal so nedolgo za tem tudi prenehali delovati kot band. Mateja je trenutno v zagrebški navezi v bendu Intrigue, Saša mlati bobne v bandu Fail Aspect, Dario pa je v bandu Seeherspeak.
Skratka dober punkrock, tokrat v živi izvedbi.
Digipak je izšel v samo 100 komadih. Torej ga zagrabite za vnuke tu ali v paketu z edinim uradnim polnim albumom 'Trust These hands are worthless' - tu.

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

In-Sane was one of the more active bands from Slovenia, chances are good you have seen them on stage somewhere in Europe in all that years. They play punkrock or melodic easy hardcore.. well whatever. They were good. Too bad they called it quit in 2014. Mateja (bass, vocals) plays in Intrigue now, Dario (guitar, vocals) is in Seeherspeak and Aleksander - Shaggie (drumms)
plays in Fail Aspect.
This is a live recording of their 15th anniversary show that took place in MIKK in Murska Sobota in December 2013. Hope you like it. You can still grab it here or here, comes as a digipak limited to 100.

Not The Same / Headstrong - split 7'' ( New rip )

Not The Same / Headstrong (split 7'')

Slovenia
Pancake Records, 1998
Punkrock/skate punk

(04 tracks, 11 min, 7'' ~ (SL1210 MK2 + M44-7 + Pro-Ject Phono Box USB / Audacity+Lame) ~ MP3@320kbps)

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.

Tole je ponovno zripano iz 7inča. Če slučajno kdo želi boljšo kvaliteto, nikjer drugje izdanih komadov od Headstrong in Blackhole od NTS. 

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

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 on transparent green. There was also 179 vinyls without covers.

This is a re-rip, for some better sound quality of this gem.
