Žoambo Žoet Workestrao / Absent Minded (split)






Žoambo Žoet Workestrao - Laibach-Tirana / Absent Minded - Kuomu Zida Wače Luopu? (split), 1998

Slovenia
Zveza Plemenskih Skupnosti in Vračev, 1998
Avantagrde/Exp./Noise // Punk/Hardcore Punk

(25 tracks, 69min, CD~iTunes~Mp3@320kbps, 163MB)


Hecni in odkačeni ŽŽW igrajo.. hmm.? Recimo temu mešanico zvokov. Eksperimentalni rock, world, punk.. skratka težko opredeljivo. Včasih spominjajo na kak punk recital CZD. Tisti, ki jih poznate veste zakaj se gre, tisti, ki jih še ne pa boste seveda slišali. ŽŽW je sicer že zelo star band z pestro zgodovino.
Najobširneje so jih 'popisali' na RŠu in sicer si njihovo biografijo lahko preberete na tem linku.

Med tem ko Absent Minded iz Rihemberka (kasneje tudi Trdoživi) špilajo precej manj zakompliciran Punk/hardcore punk, ki sta ga lahko preverili že na S/T izdaji. Na rodno grudo naslonjeni teksti, brez razdiranja hudih prispodob , podprti z straight naprej pank hc šopancem so se mi prilubili že prvič, ko sem slišal za ta band. Čeprav z domačo 'produkcijo' in posnetki mi je A.M. z svojo pristnosjo in domačnostjo ena najljubših slovenskih punk godb vseh časov. Razfuk, ki ga uprizorijio v komadu Absent Minded, je od davne Lj-Hc scene iz 80ih, redko slišan cunami. Čeprav so v teh 15ih letih apn6ke in walkmane zamenjali kaki golfi z usb playerji, je muzika A.M. ena prijetnejših zapuščin 90iih v Sloveniji.

Tale split CD iz davnega 1998 vsebuje veliko knjižico (plakat) z slikami in besedili obeh skupin. Na zadnji strani pa je napačno naveden vrstni red ŽŽW komadov (4. in 5. komad sta v obratnem vrstnem redu).

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

Hard to define band Žoambo Žoet Workestrao play experimental/avantgarde with some etno and world sound - Rock/Punk. The band beginnings are way back in 1989/90 releasing 3 albums (this one included) and appeared on some compilations. I am not sure about their recent activity, they sure have played a show about a year ago.

Absent Minded play straight forward Punk/Hardcore Punk with lyrics in Slovene and inspired by their local environment and of course personal experiences of their every day lives in a small rural environment. You can also download their S/T album originally released on a tape and later on a CD-R.

Punk 'n' roll

(14 tracks, 36min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 89MB)


Evo debela štiri leta je trajalo od prvenca Uživaj Pokončno, pa smo vseeno dočakali naslednika na nivoju. Vmes so fantje kar precej koncertirali in sodelovali pri nekaj projektih, kot so Rokerji pojejo pesmi in Ex-Yu RnR Bastards Lpjki. Verjetno po vseh teh letih divjega rock'n'rolla po slovenskih odrih niso kakšni neznanci in jih ni treba posebaj predstavljati.
Tokratni izdelek gre po poti prvenca in niza drveči garažni punk z humornimi besedili in življesnkimi zgodbami, s katerimi se lahko bolj ali manj poistovetimo vsi, od prvega do zadnjega komada. Zadnji štirje so dodani kot bonus komadi v angleščini in slišani že prej, vsaj na koncertih in kompilaciji ExYu R'N'R Bastards.
Skratka po, oziroma nad (mojimi) pričakovanji album, zapakiran v digipak, katerega lahko naročite kar direkt od banda. Po komadih, ki so jih zaigrali za RPP kompilacijo, sem računal, da Muškati postajajo varnejši in mirnejši, pa so me lepo presenetili, saj je album hiter in mogoče še bolj divji od prvenca.
Skratka definitvno pozitiven bonbon na slovenski rock sceni.
Priporočam. Album je definitivno vreden vaše podpore in vaši sosedi ga že komaj čakajo.

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



Second album from Garage Punk'n'roll band Muškat Hamburg is what we have been expecting after 4 years from their debut Uživaj Pokončno. This time better produced and maybe even heavier and louder. Pure rock'n'roll with funny but truthful lyrics in Slovene and four bonus track in English. Think mixing Turbonegro and Zeke.
You can order it via links below directly from the band.

The Hoax Program - II



The Hoax Program - II, 2011

Slovenia
Radio Študent Založba, 2011
Hardcore/Stoner/Rock'n'roll

(11 tracks, 28min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 66MB)  


Mogoče bi jih beseda HC veterani postarala, tako da jim raje rečem fantje z kilometrino. Zasedba, katera se je nekako reformirala po koncu Low Punch ima za seboj že en album v samozaložbi (Lost songs  forgotten melodies). Že takrat so jasno dali vedeti, da so vsi zelo suvereni na svojih inštrumentih in v bistvu eni največjih 'tehničarjev' v punk in hc sceni pri nas. Prav tako člani nekaterih drugih bolj ali manj aktivnih slovenskih  alter bandov. Družbeno kritična besedila udarijo ven tudi na albumu z preprostim naslovom II. Kot pravijo, in lahko jim samo prikimamo, se zgodovina ponavlja. Tokrat se ponovi tudi njihov zvok, kar sploh ni slabo. Plošča je sicer čistejša in bolje sproducirana od prvenca, a rock'n'roll ostaja enako brezkompromisen in razgiban. Direktno, z vplivi stoner rocka, brez radijskih refrenov in popevkarskih back vokalov, dajo dečki vedeti, da igrajo za svojo dušo in da se jim r'n'r preliva v krvi. Ja mogoče na momente pogrešam kak spevnejši del, ki bi se ga drl v avtu, a pri hcju je vse kar šteje pošteno nategovanje drata in verzi, kateri nas opomnijo kako sranje je okoli nas. In kako sranje je v nas samih, ki z osmimi urami pokrijemo toliko potreb, da lahko kolikor toliko siti pridemo oddelat naslednjih osem. Nekateri pa žal ne pokrpajo niti konca z koncem, s tem da ne vidijo svoje drage in otrok po cele dneve, uničijo zdravje in na koncu prosijo, da bi jim pustili vsaj teh osem, devet.. Dostojanstvo so že zdavnaj zamenjali za topel radiator in kašen priboljšek ali zgolj delovne zvezke za tamale. Menjalnico pa sovodimo vsi skupaj. Da ne odbluzim predaleč, žal je to stanje staro vsaj nekaj stoletij, če ne tisočletij. In kdo sem pravzaprav jaz, da to načenjma na toplem, z kabelskim netom, brez konkretne rešitve, zgolj veliko mero empatije in daleč od mrzlih, prenatrpanih delavskih zabojnikov..
Mogoče pa je ena pot k izboljšanju trenutnega sistema; opozarjanje in odpiranje oči tistim, kateri absurdnosti ternutne ureditve sploh ne vidijo.
In tu je z dobro mero šusa The Hoax Program band na mestu, in za to ne rabijo spevnih oooah in hoooa.
Definitivno priporočam. Nabavite z kontaktom na enem izmed spodnjih linkov in postanite eksluzivni lastnik enega izmed štiristo fizičnih primerkov trenutno najbolj pristnega hc-rock'n'rolla v Sloveniji.

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

Here is second album from HC/R'n'R/Stoner masters The Hoax Program.
Continuing where they finished with  Lost songs  forgotten melodies, the band revives heavy and powerful r'n'r blast including personal connotation to socially colored lyrics. 
I definitely recommend you this one, if you miss some pure rock'n'roll. Pressed out of 400 copies. You can get it via links below.

MNMNTS - The Good Life



MNMNTS - The Good Life, 2011

Germany
Adagio830, 2011
Hardcore

(10 tracks, 34min, 12''~?~Mp3@vbr, 45MB)


Zanimiv svež nemški band MNMNTS z prvencem The Good Life, združi vonj po vseh mogočih bandih hardcore žanra. Suveren vokal, zanimiva struktura komadov in res odlični kitarski deli, ki nikakor ne rinejo v odspredje z solažnimi postavljanji, ampak dodajajo težo albumu z svojimi, mogoče preprostimi, a zelo učinkovitimi in čustvenimi melodijami.
Čeprav glasba sama ne odkriva tople vode in združuje zvoke tako emo, screamo, punk, post hardcora in zgodnje šole punk-hardcora, album vseeno deluje inovativno in je prav prijetna popestritev izdaj v letu 2011.
Vinilka je bila izdana za nemški Adagio830 v 500 primerkih (100belih, 400črnih) v gatefold ovitku z kul naslovnico in celo grafiko notranjosti.
Definitivno priporočam na poslušanje, če že ne kar nakup (TUKAJ). Mogoče boste zgolj ob enem in površnem poslušanju preslišali vse male lepote, ki jih pesmi skrivajo v svoji razgibanosti in drobcenih melodijah, zato si ga le zavrtite še drugič.
Očitno ni prodajni hit, tako da lahko par mesecov po izdaji še vedno dobite celo preorder edicijo na omenjenem belem vinilu.

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


MNMNTS is a relatively new German band and this is their debut release for Adagio830. It comes on a 12'' LP limited to 500 copies (100 white and 400 black) and is packed in nice gatefold sleeve.
The music itself seems familiar at first, because you can hear many influences from early punk hardcore to post hardcore, screamo, punk and emo. But it is last to be boring and not worth listening.
Singers kind of unique (well yeah everyone has unique voice) and interesting and alive structure of songs makes this album very enjoyable for many times.
The solo guitar concludes this album just in a perfect way. Many very beautiful and emotional second guitar parts give this record a special taste and weight. It doesn't have the need and wish to be outstanding, but is included in every song just in the right way and amount.
I definitely recommend you to listen this album, maybe twice and than you will hear the beauty of it, if the beauty of melodies will skip your ear at the first time.
Also go and buy it (HERE), it is surprisingly still available in pre-order white edition. I think you can't regret it and the design of the whole record is also done very nicely.

mp3s, so don't let that deceive you. Also turn to 360p)

Alternative - Punk/Hardcore/Grind/Crust/Ska...

(31 tracks, 78min, CD~iTunes~Mp3@320kbps, 158 MB)


Kompilacija izdana z strani KUD Zaprti Oddelek in študentov kluba Slovenska Bistrica. Razdajali so jo le na koncertih in dogodkih, ter ni bila v prodaji.
Na njej se zvrsti cel bataljon domačih in tujih bendov največ z področja bivše Yuge.
Torej kompilacija, underground glasbe in vseh možnih podžanrov ekstremnega Punka oziroma Hardcora, ki je en redkih načinov poleg živega igranja, da bandi z obrobja svoje stvaritve predstavijo tudi širši publiki, pa čeprav je v večini to poslušalstvo, ki se tako in tako že giblje v teh glasbenih vodah.
Tole kompilacijo gre jemati kot poklon in salutiranje trenutni punk in hardcore sceni, ki paradira daleč stran od radijskih valov a blizu ljubiteljem surove in udarne godbe iz domačih in sosedsih logov.
Edina škoda mogoče je, da bandi niso vsaj večinsko predstavili kake ekskluzivne oziroma nove komade za tole zbirko in so, vsaj kolikor poznam, na cdju zbrani večinoma že izdani komadi.

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

An underground-bands compilation from Slovenia, ex Yugoslavia region and other countries (Shades of Gray - Sweden) released by Cultural Organization Zaprti Oddelek (Closed Ward) is a tribute to an artistic expression of extreme punk and hardcore bands that don't get recognition on radios or other more public media, but still have a lot to say. So this is a collection of present scene in extreme punk and hardcore waters. Lot of bands missing, but you can only get so much on 78min CD.

Pred kratkim je luč sveta ugledala kompilacija priredb skupine Center Za Dehumanizacijo, mladih slovenskih (ter nekaj tujih) in tudi nekaj veteranskih bandov (Wasserdicht, Hum, Pridigarji..). Bendi komade od CZD odigrajo v svojem lastnem slogu in interpretaciji, kar je gotovo edino naravno za kompilacijo / poklon tega tipa.
Skratka pohvale vredna 'stvaritev' različnih glasbenih slogov in pristopov k prepakiranju legendarnih CZD komadov.
Zrcalo Dehumanizacije je gotovo zanimiv dokument zapuščine CZD in presek trenutne mlade punkrock scene v Sloveniji.

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


Here is a newer project - Tribute to Slovenian punk group CZD ('Center for Dehumanization'). Younger and some veteran punk and rock bands approached CZD legacy from their own point of view, and besides natural tribute to the work of CZD, that is what gives this compilation a place in Slovenian rock history.

Danes sem v paketu skupaj z Birds in a Row Lpjko, za darilo ob napovedanem dolgem čakanju dobil tudi dva lušna bonbona in eden izmed njih je tale CDr v lični kartonasti embalaži, omejeni na 100 kosov (drugi je Nine Eleven - City of Quartz 7", katerega še nisem zarolal).
Hja grški hardcore, ko sem dal v player nisem pričakoval pravzaprav ničesar. Računal sm na kako počasno wannabe žaganje ali pa umazano crustersko dretje in temačno škripanje kitare. A že takoj sem bil prav prijetno presenečen. Dobra zvokovna produkcija in svetovno primerljiv šopanac od prvega komada dalje. Rivals ga žgejo v maniri Section 8 in Have Heart. Tako da v devetih komadih slišimo hitro drvenje v old school stilu in modernejši tako imenovani novi hardcore, kjer se zadava rahlo upočasni. Vse pa vsebuje veliko melodike in dovolj razgibanosti, da si želiš album poslušati večkrat in ne bo romal na najbolj oddaljeno polico.

Kot rečeno idealno za fene Comeback Kid, Have Heart, Section 8, Bane.. Zelo pohvalna izdaja za prvenec, upam da naredijo še kaj in da se ne upočasnijo in razjokajo preveč, kot je danes vse prevečkrat praksa (beri Defeater).

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


Here is a nice blastin hardcore debut album from Greek band Rivals!
It was released for UK label Brain Ache and comes in a recycled cardboard sleeve, limited and numbered to only 100 copies. Melodic and quality produced hardcore.. Perfect band for fans of Have Heart, Bane, Comeback Kid and even old school style like Swedish Section 8 played.

Anaerobina crustpunk mašina je zalaufala v začetku novega tisočletja. Po veliko live izkušnjah, posnetih live komadov in demotov ter tudi menjavi članov, je na vrsto prišlo snemanje pravega albuma, sicer bolj v demo maniri leta 2008. Ob dobrem masteringu pa so ti posnetki našli svojo pot na (mislim da) prvi pravi album 'Over the walls and borders'. Album je izdan na CDju in Lpju - na težki 180gramski, bordo rdeči, z črno zapacani vinilki.
Oba formata drvečega in močnega crustpunka si le omislite, z naročilom na Mankind Disaster distru!
Bolj obširna biografija pa se v branje ponuja na njihovem MySpace profilu.

Skratka hitra in razgibana simfonija hardcora z temačnim in močnim crust vokalom. Odlično za nabijanje v avtu pred kolosejem ali na parkirišču pred ambasado!

Ow yeah, the Slovenian crustpunk train gets a new dose of steam with this release.
The band formed back in 1999 with plenty of live experience and also band changes stays true to them selfs.
Nine tracks of raging punkcrust hardcore will not live you cold.
Read the bands full bio at their MySpace profile.

I should mention they have also had planned a live split with Tragedy back in 2001, but sadly the recordings got stolen when some lowlife broke in to the club where they were stored...

Be sure to get the album as CD or 180g colored vinyl (with different back side art) at their home distro - Mankind Disaster!

Lokalne Pizde so celjska zasedba ustanovljena konec 80ih. Tole je najbrž edini izdan album izdan 1998.
Igrali so mešanico garažnega in oldschool punka in rock 'n' rola.
Na nedavno izdanem kompilacijskem CDju 'Pebi ne strelat - Celjska scena 1980-2000' so zastopani z komadom 'Jutro'.

Provokativna naslovnica in komad 'Pedri smrdijo' so bili baje takrat tudi predmet raznih polemik in zgražanj. Kasneje naj bi njihov član Pero zanikal homofobno konotacijo besedila in namignil na provokacijo v smislu kritiziranja večinskega mnenja in slovenske družba, kar so v bistvu tudi besedila ostalih komadov.

Dva člana, Pero Schmidt in Matjaž Naglič, pa sta danes člana banda Stranci.

Mimogrede, na cdju se komadi zvrstijo nekoliko drugače, kot so označeni na zadnji strani albuma.

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



Lokalne Pizde was a old school punk/garage band from Celje in Slovenia.
The band was formed in late 80's and was active till 1998.

The cover on the album showing politic in German nazi uniform and son 'Fags stink' raised a lot of controversy in time after release. In a recent interview one band member confirmed that it wasn't meant to be insulting and that it was a critic of general public views, as a mater of fact the whole album is.

Two band members now play in a band called Stranci.

Evo na dovoljenje oz. prošnjo skupine objavljam najbolj svežo punk izdajo pri nas. Kot vedno, tudi tokrat apel na vas, da album kupite in tako podprete skupino!
Spodaj navajam še kratek opis oz. bio, kot ga je zapisala skupina sama.


''Pigs Parlament so 6 članska skupina, ki prihaja iz Goriških Brd — dežele opojnih trenutkov. Svojo glasbeno pot so začeli v začetku leta 2004. Skupina igra hitri punk rock z udarnim vokalom, ki ga spremljajo melodični backvokali. V njihovih pesmih najdete tudi ska vplive, ki so podkrepljeni s trobento ter udaren hardcore z ženskim vokalom. Za skupino je značilno, da se glavni vokali menjujejo iz pesmi v pesem. Njihov recept: Wine power!

Za seboj imajo že dva demo albuma in sicer iz leta 2004 in 2006. Leta 2009 so sodelovali tudi pri nastanku kompilacije Od Soče do Korna. Tako jim je končno, po 6 letih ustvarjanja, letos uspelo posneti in izdati prvenec »It's time for sausages«. Na albumu lahko najdete 14 zelo različnih skladb, med katerimi so tudi dve priredbi: Hej brigade in Let's twist again. Kot zanimivost, so pesem Hej brigade posneli v sodelovanju s pevskim zborom in malim orkestrom, kar pesem zelo popestri. Na cd-ju lahko opazite zelo različne stile glasbe; od regija, ska-ja, punka, hardcora do celo thrash in heavy metal vložkov. Kot zanimivost, so fantje in punca posneli tudi pesem u italijanskem jeziku. Nakup cd-ja vam zelo priporočamo.''

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


The freshest release on the Slovenian punkrock scene is the album you have in front.
I used the bands own description/bio. If you like it, please buy the CD. 


''Pigs parlament, a band of six members, was formed in the winter of 2004. Their homeland is a small and picturesque region in western Slovenia, called Goriška Brda, a land of (full of intoxicating moments/substances.
They play a quick and energetic punk rock with a strong main male vocal supported by melodic back vocals. In their songs is also possible to find ska influences supported by the melodic sound of the trumpet and energetic hardcore female vocal. One of the many characteristics of the band is the changing of the main vocal from song to song. Their recipe: Wine power!

They accomplished to produce two demo albums in 2004 and 2006. In 2009 the band took active part in the making of the compilation Od Soče do Korna (From Soča to Korn). In the end, in May 2010, the boys and girl managed to produce their first album “It’s time for sausages”. The content of the album consists of 14 very different songs, two of which are (arrangemenst/covers) adaptations; Hej brigade and Let’s twist again. The particularity of Hej brigade is the variegation to which contributed the collaboration with a smaller choir and orchestra. On the album is possible to feel many different genres of music: from ska to punk, hardcore and even thrash and heavy metal riffs. The boys and girl have also recorded a song in Italian. If you are eager to hear some quality punk rock music, we strongly recommend you the purchase of their new album.''

UNISON - Pearls Before Swine




Unison - Pearls before swine, 2009

Serbia
HA-KO bastards , 2009
Hardcore-punk

(05 tracks, 20min, CDr~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 45MB)

Unison je utečen in samosvoj hardcore band iz Beograda. Za seboj imajo že kar zavidljivo bero izdaj, samostojnih in dva splita (z/ Senata Fox, Analena).
Band odlikuje tudi očitno obvladanje inštrumentov, kar jim omogoča ustvarjanje edinstvenega in zelo razgibanega hardcore-punka, kateri prestopa tudi v post hardcore mojstrovine, kot naprimer v komadu 'In The Rear View'.

'Pearls before swine' je njihova aktualna izdaja, sicer posneta 2007, zapakirana v preprost, a simpatičen, diy papirnat žepek. Verjetno pa si lahko kmalu obetamo tudi kakšno novo izdajo, saj imajo na myspace strani kar nekaj novih komadov, ki jih seveda lahko tudi poslušate.

Kaj veliko drugega niti nevem, niti ni za reči, kot da gre za zelo zanimiv band z, na prostoru bivše yuge, redko slišanim načinom hardcoriranja. Vsekakor si zaslužijo vašo pozornosti in seveda še bolj, da v svojo zbirko uvrstite tudi kak njihov album!   

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

Unison is a band from Belgrade, Serbia. They are experienced and technically very strong band.
Their hardcore is of a kind, rarely to be heard here, in countries of ex Yugoslavia.
Many releases and splits testify that Unison is not just another hardcore band, but is worth checking out.

Their hardcore-punk that sometimes follows the way of post hardcore is unique and rich instrumentally.
You might not dig their way of expressing their music, but be sure to check them out, and if you like them buy one of their records released also on vinyl !

Samo Za Dnar - Samo za dnar



SZD - Samo za dnar, 2010

Slovenia
Front Rock, 2010
Punk

(17 tracks, 40min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 96MB)


Samo za dnar obstajajo že 10 let. Njihov najnovejši projekt je album priredb skupine CZD.
A ne gre samo za klasične priredbe, saj so se fantje hoteli vživeti v komade same, vse od procesa nastajanja pesmi do preigravanja in odigravanja v studiu in v živo, z veliko mero približevanja originalu.
Gre za neko vrsto iluzije, saj bi površen poslušalec zlahka zatrdil da pesmi igrajo CZD.
Vseeno je čutiti majhno razliko, mogoče predvsem v rahlo bolj tekoče-punkrokovskim
in garažnim 'flovom' muzike.
Torej SZD so z tem albumom naredili redkost v glasbenem svetu. Na novo so posneli že obstoječe pesmi, s tem da jih praktično niso spreminjali. Ohranili so besedila, aranžmaje, ritme in inštrumentalno zastopanost.
Če so bili ti komadi prej striktno avtorska last CZD, so to zdaj (tudi) komadi skupine SZD?

recenzija na RockOnNet
SZD MySpace

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

SZD (Samo za dnar = Only for money) is a band existing for over 10 years. And they have strangely (but very intentionally and with cooperation with original authors) decided to record an album of songs that were already recorded by another group CZD.
The illusion is that songs are played almost the same as the original ones by CZD.
There is a bit different feel when you hear it, but someone that knows only CZD would easily claim this songs are played by CZD, but here he would be wrong.

So who do this songs now belong? Are they still songs from CZD or are the new authors SZD? Interesting concept that probably wasn't brought up before so intentionally, as it was with this project.

Not The Same / Headstrong - split



Not The Same / Headstrong (split 7'')

Slovenia
Pancake Records, 1998
Punkrock/skate punk

(04 tracks, 11min, 7''~Sony IC recorder~Mp3@192kbps, 22MB)

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.

(Kvaliteta tega ripa je malce šepava, zaradi moje 'vrhunske' opreme. Je pa ok za slišat kaj se skriva na temle na 321 kosov omejenem 7inču, če ste ga pač sfalili).

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

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.

(The quality of the rip is a bit crappy, thanks to my lack of time and money to get a better equipment, but it will give you a taste what's locked on the clear green plastic).

Golliwog - Plague Allegiance





Golliwog - Plague Allegiance, 2010

Slovenia
Chainsaw Records, 2010
punkrock/melodycore

(16 tracks, 34min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 86MB)


Golliwog so trenutno najbolj vroč slovenski punkrock/punk band. To sama po sebi potrjuje njihova kvaliteta in profesionalnost zadnjega (in tudi prejšnjega) albuma.
Plague Allegiance je super album, ki z vso častjo nasleduje prejšnjega (More than meets diy, iz leta 2006). Kolikor sem zasledil je album odlično sprejet tudi (ali predvsem?) izven Slovenije.
Band nadaljuje s hitrimi in melodičnimi komadi v stilu melodycore bandov iz 90ih.
Močno je zastopan tudi vpliv Nofx, vendar ne preveč moteče, saj njihovi komadi vseeno odzvenijo sveže.
Besedila se gibljejo od zafrkancije do opozarjanja na svetovno ureditev in celo skrivnostnih a očitno vplivnih (konspirativnih) organizacij in pojavov.

Definitvno priporočam nabavo tega albuma (najbolje kar direkt od banda), saj je gotovo ena boljših izdaj domače punkrock scene v zadnjih letih, sploh, če ste odrasli z melodičnim (skate komerc) punkom sredi 90ih.

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


Golliwog is one of the hottest Slovenian punkrock bands on the scene. Their f-male fronted fast and melodic punkrock is very well accepted all over the world, even though 90's are gone long time ago, this album will take you to the best years of that era melodycore.
After debut (1st real) album 'More than meets DIY' from 2006, this album is logical sequel of their sound.
How can you go wrong with 16 tracks of melodic punk with lyrics about world order and (secret) organizations?

Be sure to grab the CD that comes with thick booklet and cool designed digipak. I doubt you'll regret it.

Choke Up - Choke up



Choke Up - Choke up (Ep), 2010



USA, Massachusetts
TDB Records, 2010
melodic Punk/(screamo hc)/pop punk

(05 tracks, 16min, CD~?~Lame~Mp3@V2, 32MB)


Choke Up so precej nov band iz Bostona. Špilajo simpatčno mešanico sicer že velikokrat slišanih žanrov od pop punk melodij do hardcore in screamo delov. Mogoče res nič neverjetno novega, pa vseeno nekoliko drugače od poplave današnjih mainstream punk bandov, ki so vsi isti. Tako da priporočam poslušanje fanom Lawrence Arms, Title Fight, zgodnjih Against Me in celo suverenih Comadre.

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

Choke up is a band from Boston, Massachusetts . They bring you their first Ep with 5 songs. It's not something revolutionary, but still they keep their head above average mainstream punk bands these days, with interesting mix of pop punk melodies with more hardcore and even screamo parts and vocals.

Mladina Kina - Fak your pank



Mladina Kina - Fak your pank, 2008

Slovenia
diy, 2008
Hardcore/powerviolence

(14 tracks, 10min, Cassette~GTpro~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 25MB)


Mladina Kina so mladci iz Dravograda, ki igrajo straight edge hardcore, hiter in agresivni komadi so blizu powerviolence in thrash stilu. Besedila so ekstremno kritična do vsega in vseh, ki ne sledijo totalni alternativi in punk duhu iz dna srca.
Na momente se mi zdi, da v besedilih praktično ne jebejo nikogar, če ni tako diy kot oni in ne počne tega kar oni. Sicer kritizirajo predvsem ukaluplanje, kopiranje oz. fake punk in skate sceno, pa vendar se mi zdi da malce pretiravajo, saj ni nihče tako črn ali bel, kot je mogoče razbrati iz njihovih besedil.

Sicer pa vsak si lahko ustvari svoje mnenje, saj so besedila za vse komade zraven.
Pred kratkim so jih tudi metali ven iz dravograškega kina, kjer so vadili postavljali diy studio in skate rampo. Nevem kako se je zadeva razpletla, upam pa, da so sedaj našli svoj prostor pod soncem.

Skratka super scena, da furajo svoj hardcore, popolnoma diy in underground.
Kratki komadi, polni šusa, zdrvijo mimo v pičlih 10ih minutah.
Posnet imajo tudi 3way split z Vaseline Chilldren in Home Sick Home, ter samostojen CDr z komadi z tega splita.

Za kontakt in muziko pišite na kakega od teh emailov.

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

Mladina Kina (Cinema Youth) is straight edge hardcore/powerviolence band from Dravograd, Slovenia. They play very short powerful hardcore tracks with intolerance towards anything fake, not honest and unoriginal in lifestyle and music.

The name comes from place (abandoned cinema) where they practiced, skated and recorded their music as well as releasing zine called Kino. I don't know if they are still allowed to use it, since they had some problems with authorities. 
They have also released a 3way split with Croatian Home sick home and Vaseline Children.

Center Za Dehumanizacijo - Pokozlane trate



Center Za Dehumanizacijo - Pokozlane trate, 1996

Slovenia
Front Rock, 1996
Punk

(27 tracks, 70min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 163MB)


Pokozlane trate je eden bolj markatnih albumov CZD. Na njem se razvrsti časovnica komadov vse od leta 1986 do 1995.
Tudi te komade zaznamuje močna besedna lirika ki stalno hodi čez rob uglasbljene poezije.
Zvočno gre za prepoznaven CZD slog, punk v katerem je moč slišati tudi sprehode do industriala in novega vala.
Upal bi si trditi, da je projekt Pokozlane trate najmočnejši člen CZD diskografije.


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

This is CZD's album featuring songs from 1986 to 1995. It is typical CZD sound with poetic lyrics (in Slovene) and punk music that includes industrial and new wawe elements. It is definitely one of their best and most representative work in their large discography collection.

Czech Republic
Untrust Records, 2009
dark hardcore/emo/screamo

(05 tracks, 36min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 82MB)


Aktualni (drugi) album zelo melodičnega, temačnega in počasnega emo-hardcore banda iz Češke.
Na njem je pet dolgih, skoraj epskih komadov z močnim downtempo trpečim vokalom, ki pa jim mogoče manjka malce raznolikosti.
Tisti, ki ste jih ujeli na dveh koncertih v Pivki ali Ljubljani veste kaj pričakovati, ostali pa pač poslušajte kaj ste zamudili.

Kupite ga lahko z naročilom na: e-mail.

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

This is very melodic and dark/emo hardcore with raging downtempo vocals from Czech.
Krakatoa is their second and latest release.  It features five long and epic songs.
You may find some similarity to German band Arktika or Japanese Envy.
Worth listening if you are in slow and dark hardcore. You can buy it by asking on their: e-mail.

Hardcore (metal/crust/sludge)

(04 tracks, 15min, CD-R~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 35MB)


''IAMDISEASE je nov bend iz goriškega/vipavskega, ki na svoja 'stara' leta preigrava temačen in jezen hardcore z močnimi vplivi metala, crusta in sludga. Dotikajo se temnih strani človekove notranjosti in pošastnosti informacijske družbe, vendar njihovo sporočilo ni predaja in obup, temveč upanje v spremembe na boljše za vse. Bend družijo člani bivših in še vedno delujočih Elodea, Man In the Shadow, Kennybal Smith, A Murder Theory, The Hoax Program, Lowpunch, itd. in je po dobrega pol leta obstoja goden za koncertiranje. Če kdo lahko pomaga, smo dosegljivi na: email ''

Mislim da so fantje vse povedali sami, gre za raztur-HC, izkušenih bendašov. Dodana so besedila z razlago v slovenščini in angleščini, kar je super, sploh dandanes ko so besedila zmeraj bolj zgolj 'tekst'.
Super bi bilo da band nadaljuje z ustvarjanjem in posname še kaj.

Če boste pohiteli pa si na zgoraj navedenem emailu lahko omislite svoj primerek tegale oštevilčenega demota.
Narejenih je bilo le 50 kosov.

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

This is a newer band, from west Slovenia region, that plays dark and angry hardcore with strong influences in metal, crust and sludge. They refer their lyrics to darker side of human inner self and monstrosity of informational society, nevertheless their voice does not call for surrender or despair, but hope for change for the better.

The band is formed by members from retired and still active bands like: Elodea, Man In the Shadow, Kennybal Smith, A Murder Theory, The Hoax Program, Lowpunch...

After six months they feel ready to play some gigs. If you wanna help them with that, contact for support or anything else write: here

This demo is nicely done in diy style with lyrics and thick printed cdr.
Grab it till it's still available, it's limited to 50 copies only.

Na CDju se je zvrstilo  nekaj bolj aktivnih punk bandov iz 90ih.
Redka in dost zanimiva punk kompilacjia.  Če kdo proda, kupim.

PUNK

(08 tracks, 13min, CD-R~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 40MB)


Evo to je še drugi album (ep) punkerjev Pogrešana Kvaliteta.
So eni redkih  ki šopajo tak pravi punk in nimajo majspejsov in fejsbukov, ter izdajajo muziko na sodobni kaseti (beri cdr) z fotokopiranimi ovitki. Kar jim preprosto paše (ne da bi jih s tem podcenjeval).

Besedila so punkersko kritična, a niso klišejsko prazna kot kaki novi niet. Priporočam da jih preberete saj zato tudi so!
Njihov prvi album lahko potegnete tu: PK - Novo upanje.
Pišite za muziko in podporo na njihov uradni fan club: pmlacnik@gmail.com, hecni_likalnik@hotmail.com

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

Pogrešana Kvaliteta (Missing Quality) is one of the last real punk bands in Slovenia. They play fast, record at home and spread music with home made cdrs.
Lyrics are in Slovene and they are critical towards todays apathy and senseless capitalistic 'everyone for himself' living.

Their first album: PK - Novo upanje (New hope)
