Slovenia (released in USA)
BatAttak, 2004
HardCore, Trash 
(44 tracks, 71min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 108MB)


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.

Ok. I fucked up first song and started recording in the middle of second one.
The show was fantastic, even I'm not a huge fan of Strung out.
Jason was pretty stoned (some methamphetamines) IMO!
That is how every punk rock show should look like. NO security, NO fence and 10 feet safety space in front of stage.
Straight contact with the band.
There was a lot of stage diving and even some chicks were doing it :)
Even old Punk rocking farts would be satisfied with the action.

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. 
Few songs can be found also on fan created Niet MySpace.

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.

A band from Slovenia, Ribnica, which plays fast and melodic punk/hc.
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)
