Pula Punk

There is also the best punk town in Hrvatska to mention. That town is called Pula. From that town come some of the best punk & hardcore bands that I've ever listened to. I'm totally crazy about this band, called Anti Otpad (Anti Garbage). They played back in 1990 and 1991 and released an album called My Parents Tell Me That I'm Bad for Slušaj Najglasnije (or Listen Loudest) label. Then they were inactive for a few years and when they got together again they released this two albums: Totalno sam ljut na ovaj svijet (or I'm Totally Pissed Off At This World) which is my No. 1 ever punk release in Hrvatska, and Radnički san (or Workers Dream) with some of the best lyrics and hardcore music I've ever heard.

Just to get you going - some of the lyrics are:
Song no. 5 - Radsan (from Radnički san CD):
Došao sam kući u 5 ujutro / I came home at 5 AM
otvorio špinu, iz nje je krenulo vino / I opened the tap, wine started to run
od sreće sam si popio malo / I was so happy and drunk some
sve je oko mene na trenutak stalo / Everything stopped around me for a moment
to je bio samo bijedni radnički san / It was just a pathetic working mans dream

This album is a K7 (cassette) realease, but Danijel B. (Bregana rules!!) played around with a K7 cover, and thanx to him I can give you a CD look-alike cover.

You can find their stuff on Monte Paradiso Netlabel together with stuff from other bands from Pula. It's worth checking out cos it's a piece of punk history of Hrvatska. Some of the bands I would reccomend are: Barrakuda, Bolesno Grinje, Desinence Mortification, Spiridon Mekas Crust…

Well… download them all!!!
