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.

Gonzales - Checkmate

Gonzales - Checkmate, 2008 Italy Chorus of one Rec, 2008 Punk 'n' Roll (10 tracks, 29min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 69MB) This is the second album from Punk/rock 'n' roll band coming from Italy (Trieste-Venice-Treviso). The band has become even a bit Slovene, with new bass player Tilen from Trieste, joining them just recently :) The sound is garage sounding and real enough to say that these guys are not just poseurs, but that they play with head and heart for the music. They can also play great live performance, maybe even better than on the record. Check them out if you like Muškat Hamburg, Zeke, Puffball... They will also be happy to send you their albums on CD or Vinyl and other merch! Check them at Gonzales MySpace or write to: gonzales-hell@libero.it Download

Multiball - The Days That Follow...

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

Sinking Ships - Discography

Sinking Ships - Discography, 2004-2008 USA (Washington) 6131 Rec, Revelation Records, Self r. Melodic new Hardcore Discography: 2004 DEMO (7 tracks, 11 min, 7''Vinyl~?~Lame~Mp3@VBR) 2005 Turn My Headphones Up (track from: Generations - A Hardcore Compilation) 2006 DISCONNECTING (12 tracks, 30 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@VBR) 2006 MERIDIAN (12 tracks, 23 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@VBR) 2007 TEN (4 tracks, 8 min, 7''Vinyl~?~Lame~Mp3@V2) 2007 SAFE (2 tracks, 4 min, 7''Vinyl~?~Lame~Mp3@V2) 2008 S/T (2 tracks, 4 min, CD~?~Lame~Mp3@256kbps) This is one of the best representatives of so called New HardCore. 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

FPO + Wasserdicht (Split)

FPO - (Straight to the point) + Wasserdicht - (S/T) - (Split), 2003 Macedonia/Slovenia Homegrown, 2003 Hardcore/Crust (12 tracks, 10 min, 3''CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 28MB) FxPxOx or FOREVER POSITIVELY OBSESSED is a Hardcore band from Skopje - Macedonia, formed in 2001. 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!

MySpace they are none political band that follows drunk-punk ideals and represents alternative to rich pussy punk bands and political activists. They are trying to represent their own view of the world, that is everything, but following political ideals. Their goal in performing is not to change society, but to enjoy life and things they love to do. You can find 11 own tracks and 4 covers (Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Partibrejkers and Pankrti). Situations from everday life are presented on this demo thorugh classic three chord (street) Punk!

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,
contact them!

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. 

There is also an interview with the band included as separate download file (pdf, bmp).
