VA - Novosadska punk verzija Vol. 2 [2006]

Last year I went to an Atheist Rap gig in SKUC-PAUK club in Zagreb. There I've bought a "Novosadska punk verzija 1978-2005" book written by Sava Savić & Igor Todorović and with it I got this CD. It's a compilation of bands from Novi Sad which covers the existence of punk in that city throughout the years. The book is great, it deals with punk scene of Novi Sad as told by the people who participated in it. The book's ISBN is 86-85983-05-3 and you can get it from:

2 MINUTA MRŽNJE

Legendary Oi! punk band from city of Novi Sad in Vojvodina, part of todays Srbija (Republic Of Serbia). They started playing back in 1984 and made two demos that I've put together here as one release. They played gigs in Novi Sad, Beograd (Belgrade) and Ljubljana, one gig was with famous B.G.K. from Netherlands (Holland). They're not active any more but they're still very popular, just one of the examples being a cover of their song "Terorizam protiv dosade" (Terrorism Against Boredom) by a band called Fakofbolan (F.O.B.) from Pula in Hrvatska (Croatia) on F.O.B.'s "Jedini dokaz" (The Only Proof) album released back in 1998. My personal favourites are songs "Sudije" (or "Judges" in English, with excellent chorus that goes: "Vi ste naše sudije, vi ste naši dželati... / You are our judges, you are our executioners..."), "Maska" (The Mask) and the above mentioned "Terorizam protiv dosade".
Update on 24.01.2008.: If you're interested in 2 Minuta Mržnje, go to Kktz's Corpus Delicti blog, he recently put up their 2nd demo, but as a 7" EP called "Došao je kraj" which was released by No Time To Be Wasted Records from Beograd (Belgrade) in Serbia. The quality of that recoding is much better than of the one I've put up here.
Update on 19.03.2009.: I have spoken too soon when I said that 2 Minuta Mržnje were now an inactive band. In 2008 they released an album called "Moderna Omladina" for SKC Novi Sad.

ANTI-CHUMBA EP

Since I've put up some albums from Chumbawamba (and almost all of them from their "sell-out" phaze) I thought it would be fair to also put up something that comments on Chumbas excursion into the mainstream. So here it is, the Anti-Chumba EP. Best track on it, for me, is by The Bus Station Loonies. Didn't scan the covers - sorry!
Update on 29.01.2008.: Thanx to Malisha from Rockin' Nöiz blog who scanned the covers! Despite The Chineapple Punx and Wat Tyler tracks being listed on the back cover, they weren't pressed on this 7" vinyl.

Antifrik

I remember Antifrik from the first half of the 90's when they were one of the rare bands in Zagreb that played punk and could be seen live cos during the war there were not many places to hold gigs (neither in Zagreb or even less or none in cities near/on the frontline) so you could see new bands only in some dump of a club (I'm thinking of Club 88 especially). I used to hang out with them a lot during the 90's and I still occasionaly get together with Mario K. (Frik himself!). Before "Ludo i nezaboravno" CD they released one tape called "Industrijska Zona Blues" (Industrial Zone Blues) which consisted of their demo songs on A side and on B side was their live performance from KSET club back in 1996 when they were an opening band for Peter And The Test Tube Babies. "Ludo i nezaboravno" (Crazy & Unforgettable) CD is a live release recorded on 26.12.2002. in Močvara club in Zagreb. "Nemam vremena + Manijak" (I Got No Time + Maniac) are never released studio tracks that were intended to be on their 7" single but the band called it quits before it came out. Simply, this is a piece of Zagreb's punk history.

Thatcher On Acid, Blaggers ITA, Blyth Power

There is at least one common link between this three CDs. They were all borrowed to me by Andrej Č. (Ljubljana-Zalog hero) while I was staying for couple of days at his place. I first heard Thatcher On Acid on their split LP with Wat Tyler (I think it was called "Garlic") and got interested in them. They were playing during the late 80's and beginning of the 90's. I don't know much about Thatcher On Acid, but there is a very short article on Wikipedia and a MySpace fan page that I've dug up. Ben from T.O.A. also played in Schwartzeneggar (with Steve Ignorant from Crass on vocals) and lots of other bands. Blaggers ITA were very popular in the beginning of the 90's, I first heard them on Words Of Warning's "Mind Pollution Vol. 1" compilation LP. They had a very strong anti-fascist stance which I liked a lot. They signed to EMI in 1994, released the "Bad Karma" CD I've put up here and later were dropped by EMI. I thought they were not active any more but I recently found their MySpace page, and there is also a Wikipedia article on Blaggers ITA. Blyth Power is a quite interesting band from the UK. They are still active so check them at their Blyth Power official site and at Wikipedia.

Oi! Oi! Music

I've been a little busy over the holidays but I've managed to organize this next few uploads for you. Blitz and The Oppressed are well known Oi! punk bands from the 80's. Blitz are best known for their "All Out Attack" EP and "Voice Of A Generation" LP. This is their "Complete Singles Collection" with all their hits and a few not so good songs from their latter phaze when they sounded like some new wave band. Their original songwritter/guitarist Nidge Miller unfortunately died on 07.02.2007. but I hope they will manage to go on. You can check them on Wikipedia, MySpace Blitz page and their official Blitz page. The Oppressed are from Cardiff in Wales, UK. They are a great Oi! band with strong anti-fascist lyrics fronted by a singer called Roddy Moreno and I like them a lot. More info on them can be found at Wikipedia and The Oppressed official site. Enjoy this!

Zounds

Originally released back in 1982 by Rough Trade this is a Rugger Bugger/GAP Recordings reissue of their album + the singles. Zounds were a late discovery for me cos before this reissue I wasn't able to get any of their stuff. I knew they existed by reading zines and listening to older punks stories so I was quite excited when I bought this release and I wasn't wrong. Lyrics are great, and the music is very good anarcho-punk with dark atmosphere. If you want to know more about them there is a Zounds web page and there's a new reissue of this release available from Active Distribution.

James Brook & Ecowar

James Brook is a guy from Australia. I was first introduced to his music and "Resist Is To Win" CD by MarkoS (In Medas Res fanzine) and ripped it cos I liked what I heard (didn't scan the covers – sorry!). On this release he sounds like a punk version of Billy Bragg, dealing with subjects like politics, squatting, sex, wandering around… Ecowar are James Brook with Ernie, a girl from Netherlands (Holland). I saw Ecowar playing in a place called Attack in Zagreb, back in 1998. At that gig I bought their self-titled CD I've put up in this post. Both James Brook and Ecowar have web sites so you can check them here: James Brook, Ecowar.
