Idrija is a Slovenian town that was famous in the eighties for it’s quick silver mine, lace, žlikrof dumplings, psychiatric hospital and a punk band named KUZLE (bitches, female dogs). Today it’s known mostly for two big factories and for it’s apathetic residents, a real ghost town one could say. Once upon a time it was not like this… On the remains of different rock and punk bands, a group of young boys got together in the eighties and formed a band. They had many things in common: were all full of hormones, read the Yugoslave rock magazine Ðuboks, were fanaticaly buying vinil records in Italy and listened, felt and lived for punk music. Soon the band Kuzle was formed, the memberes were: Dare Kauric guitar/back vokal, Bojan Lapanja vokal, Iztok Turk drums, Dušan Moravec bass guitar/back vokal. In the following years they made almost sixty songs, had around thirty gigs, a few recordings, appeared on TV and radio stations and issued a compilation Lepo je (’It is beautiful’). Later on they changed two drumers, first Bojan Pajer then Iztok Lampe. Unfortunately the endless years the members had to serve the military service for the National army of Yugoslavia changed everything in the band and Kuzle soon become a part of the past. People went their way, Yougoslavia disintegrated. And now, after 25 years, the recorded songs are found and introduced to the public. From Kulze MySpace Download

Defeater - Travels

Defeater - Travels, 2008 USA Bridge Nine Records, 2008 Melodic new Hardcore (11 tracks, 68min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 73MB) ''Boston-based post-hardcore outfit Defeater injects a healthy dose of classic punk fury into their explosive sound. The band's 2008 release, TRAVELS, sustains that fury from start to finish. While TRAVELS is purportedly a concept album that follows a human life through the mid-20th century from birth to death, the real impact of the album is sonic, not narrative. Breakneck crushers like "Everything Went Quiet" and "Forgiver Forgetter" are all pummeling rhythms and throat-shredding vocals, leaving the listener breathless.'' ''Bands like Defeater do not come along often. A truly honest, intense, and dark album based as a narrative story of a man’s life set to a volatile soundtrack of hardcore fury, punk melody and metal technicality. Already getting critical acclaim, Defeater will be the best new band you hear this year.'' Some borrowed descriptions, but everything holds water. This album you just must hear and if you can buy. Don't forget, DEFEATER is playing with Comeback Kid, Have Heart, Rise And Fall and Shipwreck A.D. on 14TH JULY at GALA HALA, Ljubljana! Read MORE about DEFEATER @ Bridge9 Records. Download

The music is sometimes fast sometimes slow, but always melodic and emotional. The Vocals are just perfect for their sound. The band rise from nothing and reached world fame in HC circles. They toured alot and released everything you see listed above in all formats, colors and different pressings.. Only Meridian and Disconnecting are released also on CD, the rest is on vinyl. The last self titled 7inch holds two tracks released also ona 3 way split CD with As we let go and My love. Meridian is actually re-mastered/re-recorded? demo minus one track, plus 6 new songs. The last 7inch releases show some changes to their sound, being a bit slower and not so complete experience of a band. Technically not the best band, but still Sinking Ships stamped their name on 2000s Hc scene, with some great songs and few that they could have worked on some more... The band quit in 2008 after some label and inside issues. Definitely worth of download and listening! Sinking Ships MySpace Download 1/2 Download 2/2

They are no longer playing since 2008 I think, but have left behind rich discography with alot of splits (w/ My revenge, Secret, I Object!, Seein Red, Threat of riot, Milkadd, Wasserdicht) and appeared on lot compilations. Some members formed/joined very popular Macedonian band: Bernays Propaganda. They play 6 fast old school HC songs on this release, that was, btw. released for Singapore label, Homegrown. Wasserdicht is a Slovenian band that is playing from 1990 with some member changes and minor pauses. They play fast Hardcore with strong crust vocals. Wasserdicht discography holds some splits with Scuffy Dogs, Konstrukt, Humanitaer, Homo Homini Lupus and Fpo. They also appear on compilations like: No border jam, Držimo skupaj, Preko nacionalizma i rata, Unterhund veselica. So this is very short 3inch split CD that brings the best from both bands.

Harry - Clowns and Monkeys

Harry - Clowns and Monkeys, 2009 Slovenia Harry, 2009 Punk/HC (13 tracks, 28 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 64MB) Brand new record straight from Ajdovščina. This is very nicely designed album second in a row from Harry. The first s/t is from 2004 and you can still BUY here or here, but Clowns and Monkeys is far better. It holds 13 melodic tracks with powerful HC singing and the band has evolved not one, but five steps from the debut s/t release. Harry as a band found their sound, while they were still searching it with first album. You should really get this CD, cuz it kicks ass. Just ask boys at Harry MySpace or order it here. Download

Hardcore/Crust/Oi

(14 tracks, 40 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 87MB)

No Limits have a long way behind them, since they stared way back in 1990 under name 'MENTAL AFFLICTION'. They played over 100 shows, the band had also some member fluctuations and mixed genres from HC to Crust, Oi, Trash... Their discography is: Our little Wooden House - Demo tape (1993), Jurassic Punk - Live tape (1998) and www.borba.non-stop - full length (2003). There is more exact No Limits BIO, from Radio Študent, included in the file. Here is what it says at InterPunk where you can still GET the www.borba.non-stop CD. 40 minutes of powerful hardcore that will throw you out of your seats and give you a reason to slam around your room a bit. Jumping from crust to ska or from Oi to trash (with a hint of melody thrown in), No Limits have their first official release after 12 years of playing together. It was worth the wait - they have a grown-up sound that gels power, speed and aggression. NO LIMITS are a fresh kick in the hardcore scene - be sure to hear more about them in the near future, a Slovenian (ex-Yugolavia) shark attack in the underground ocean. You can also get it by contacting band via No Limits MySpace.

I guess this is an Ep and not Demo since, they have a full lenght called 'Lost youth' from 2006. Personaly this Ep for me is more intense than mentioned albumm, but Lost Youth has the benefit of complete album experience. Short but sweet!

I don't basically know anything about three piece band
(Hozi-drums., Gajsi-bas, Kep-guitar, vox) - Pogrešana Kvaliteta (Lacking Quality). I believe they are from Koroška region. But even if the recording quality is not WarnerBros type, you can tell PK have really own style of fast and pure Punk, that was played in 80s all over the world. Lyrics are also socially critical as it should be for punx like Pogrešana Kvaliteta. I recommend this as a proof that real punk is still alive and that can be still interesting, no matter how it is pacekd and not/sold.
They also have second CD out under no particular name.
If you wish boys to play at your wedding or funeral or some other occasion,

04 Compelled 2:30

BULLETS IN Bullets In creates melodic but furious hardcore of a sort, sadly, not often found in today's scene, coming from USA-Bay area. Sincerely impassioned vocals over explosive yet catchy songs, they combine the best elements of bands like Torches to Rome, Bread and Circuits, early Hot Water Music, and Rites of Spring. If you've lost faith in hardcore, this record will prove that it's not all just meaningless style and fashion. These are one of those records that you might not dig at first listening. But every next round you will hear something new, that will prove how good this band was. Intelligently incorporated guitar sounds make this sound like Mike Kirsch has something to do with it, but as far as I know he doesn't. I personally like the 12'' release a bit more, but both are definitely worth of check. Trashed and Burned 7 inch was printed in only 500 copies.

Star Sixtynine play more 90s melodic punkrock with lyrics in English. Too Fat To Sk8 play more rougher 3 chord punk in Slovene and the recording sound is poorer than Sixtynine side.

Slovenia
EJ Records (self released for RSQ magazine), 2009
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!

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.

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).

Boys (Boštjan, Miha, Klavdijo) were swimming in punk rock long before Trdoživi formed, in late 2003. On this Ep they play uncompromised and very organic Hc/Punk. Solid fast five tracks (+1 more Metal-H.Rock) spiced with lyrics about local and personal life in small Rihemberk community. Pure punk without fancy cosmetics shows its real face on this album. You can also GET your numbered copy by asking here: trdoziv@gmail.com Zanimivo Štorijo (BIO) skupine si lahko preberete TUKAJ. Nekaj citatov iz Štorije: ''Ime benda Trdoživi ni bilo izbrano po naključju, saj zanj obstaja vrsta razlogov, ki izhajajo predvsem iz zgodovine članov benda.'' ''Trdoživi so veliki lokal partioti ter tradicionalisti, tako da se teme največkrat vrtijo okrog domačega družbenega dogajanja. Posebej radi črpajo iz zgodovine kraja, v katerem živijo.'' ''Glede ne to, de je pristen punk prisoten v Rihemberku že od najstarejših časov, se Trdoživi temu niso mogli izogniti. Problem je le v tem, da je punk urbana muzika, ki največkrat opeva usrano življenje na ulici, v Rihemberku pa obstaja samo ena cesta skozi vas, pa še tam ni življenje posebej usrano.''

Real Life Version - Resistance from within, 2009 Slovenia Evelyn Records, 2009 Punk Rock / Hc (9tracks, 32min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 77MB) Another great home scene product! Very solid album with all components to make it a good one. Nice riffs, some catchy sing-alongs, quality vocal and even lyrics that make sense. CD art is also done very nice and it includes lyrics for all nine songs as well. I will allow myself comparison of their sound with early Hot Water Music or Leatherface. So after some silence on Slovenian punkrock records scene, here is finally an album that is a bright spot for present and future slo-punk. Only thing I can mention as minus, is maybe drums sound, that could be a bit cleaner and more powerful. But after all this is a diy. and it sounds great in general! What can you do to support the band and scene in generally? Go to their MySpace page, order this album that will cost you only few cigarettes packs or few beers. Why?

In-Sane - ...Keeping Ourselves Close To Our Hearts...

In-Sane - ...Keeping Ourselves Close To Our Hearts..., 2006 Slovenia Broken Board Records, 2006 Punk, melodic HC (11 tracks, 32min, CDR~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 87MB) Great band from Gornja Radgona. Only three guys, but they make very quality noise and with this attitude they can become very recognizable in the European scene. This first kind of demo album was first pressed (burned) in 100 copies that sold out very fast. So they re-issued it. Buy it here and show your appreciation for all the great work they are doing. My only complain is about a bit boring and cliche lyrics and maybe too monotone song structure. Next spring (2009) their 2nd full length is coming out at MoonLee Records. Definitely worth of wait because we can expect one of the best Slovenian punk records in recent time! In-Sane MySpace. Downlaod
