Kennybal Smith - Small actions - big reactions, 2007

Slovenia
KBS records, 2007
Punk, melodic HC

(13 tracks, 34 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 116MB)


Cuz I'm lazy and a bit sick atm., here is a nice copy/paste of KS bio written by the band at MySpace.
It doesn't get more accurate than this:

''Arised in 2003 by a few punk-rock/HC lovers fortunate enough to bump into each other. Survived to the first-years must members alterations, Kennybal Smith is nowadays a four-piece family, united as one against bad days, bad mood, dishonesty and all the spoiled currents.

It is hard to find a moment in our lives that can be compared with moments lived behind the rehearsal place's walls and on stage. Sour sweat droplets on the face hands and chest constantly dropping on the floor, soaked shirt, deep breathing. And while loud shouts calm the restless feelings inside, the guitar riffs carve the joy into our hearts. It's simple but meaningful. We love it so much. We have so much fun. This is what we call freedom. And this is why we keep going on. Music itself keeps us going on, as a band, and in life too.

In our short history we have had the great opportunity to play with a few bands that we love and admire so much: Lagwagon (USA), Burning Heads (Fra), The Real McKenzies (Can), Al and the black cats (USA), The Capaces (Spa), Elvis Jackson (Slo), Golliwog (Slo), In-Sane (Slo), Evenrain (Slo). We played also with other great bands like : Mad Caddies (USA), Pepper (USA), Break the Silence (USA), BeerBong (I), Fat prezident (Cro), Amanda Woodward (Fra) to name a few. All the experiences were great and unique. Our debut album "Small actions-Big reactions" was released on December 14th 2007 and we are finishing up songs for the new one. See you around.''

This is one of the best punk-rock albums from Slovenia  for sure. The songs are different and quality enough to keep the CD in your player longer than just first time. Kennybal Smith show great amount of talent and including musical guests was also a great idea.
KS take you from melodic singalongs and guitar solos, leaning on strong lyrical backbone, to almost epic conclusion of the album with the song Stolen Childhood in fat 30 minutes.

Man In The Shadow - discography CD

Man In The Shadow - discography CD, 2001

Slovenia
Choose Life Records, 2001
Punk/emo/HC/screamo

(16 tracks, 45 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 116MB)


Man in the shadow was one of few bands in Slovenia that put the lyrics and ideas behind them above musical manifest. You can find all of MITS lyrics and explanations for them, in English and Slovene, included with their albums. That is very cool and makes their legacy even stronger. Musically Man in the shadow takes you to all sorts of fields, from angry crust echo, to emo 'upgraded' punk-hc.

They released two 7inch albums: Self titled, 1997 and Pax Americana, 1999.
And in 2001 also self titled, discography CD at Choose Life Records.
All releases are 'equipped' with lyrics and explanations about ideas that they stand behind as the band and as individuals Not to mention nicely album designed covers and inlays. Thumbs up for that!

This discography CD is still available by contacting band member Miran at MOONLEE Records. A must have 4 sure.

Low Value - The language of stolen music

Low Value - The language of stolen music, 2005 

Slovenia 

self released, October 2005 

Melodic PunkRock (12 tracks, 35 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 72MB) 

So here you have four years old album from Maribors Low Value. The band started playing in 2000 and is active till today (with some member changes). The 2005 The language of stolen music is probably the peak of their music path till now. First it was released by the band till 2006 when boys signed for Japanese label: CR Japan Inyaface. But their discography will expand early next year (2010) with their second album called RECHARGE, released by High Speed Flower records also based in Japan. So be expecting more melodic punk rock tunes from this band very soon! And in the mean time, taste their debut album. It features 11 melodic punkrock songs, varying from fast energetic parts as heard from 90s melodic bands to some almost ballade parts, plus a bonus song that is actually not a song and could be easily left out. All in all this album is a nice contribution to Slovenian punk scene, but I am sure we can expect much more from the announced second album, as the band was maybe searching for their place and sound with this one, and sometimes I feel they went too far looking for melodies that made Fat Wreck Chords so popular in 90s. But who am I to say? This is sympathic music release with cool CD design. Be sure to check bands detailed BIO on Low Value MySpace, where you can still get this album for a fair price! Or just order it from Interpunk.

Punk/HC/Metal/Hard Rock (16 tracks, 34 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 72MB) 

 This is the first album from NčOdNč. It was released just few weeks ago. Lot of concert experiences and I guess love for music logically led to the release of this album. The band mixes all sorts of genres, I would be closest if I say this is a nice Hard Rock album with Punk energy generating it. Lyrics are all in Slovene and almost constructivist, so they do let more interpretations possible. You should support NČODNČ since this is cool Slovenian rock that doesn’t come along very often. Buy this CD or T-shirt. Contact the band at NčOdNč MySpace or email: ncodnc@gmail.com

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.

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.

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.

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.

They can also play great live performance, maybe even better than on the record. Check them out if you like Muškat Hamburg, Zeke, Puffball...

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

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.

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.
