We continue to promote our local scene a bit, so here is the new album by our punkrock heroes from Zagreb, Mašinko. I followed this band since they were only let us call them one hit wonder, but they evolved into one of the biggest names in punkrock scene here in Croatia, with three guitars, all of the members except drummer singing wonderful harmonies on vocals and having fantastic song arrangements delivering melodic punkrock just made to smile and cry and sing along with. This new album contains 12 songs. Veća lopata and Punim plućima were singles before, also Cmrok 2, so I listened to that songs before, for me somehow being not the same quality and hits as last full length and that split with Fat Prezident. But rest of the material on this album is what makes it great. Songs like Jedne davne jeseni or Tu smo gdje smo are pure punkrock poetry from the street and I love those two making it my favorites on this record. The lyrics are in Croatia as you might have guessed but no matter, you can relate to them in anyway possible. Also, two songs that I must mention are Izgubljenom vremenu, Perice and Vrijeme za spavanje being for me standouts on this record. Great record by great band!
Our friends at Undead Artists Records always deliver great releases. This time it is new The Dukes Of Bordello e.p. for your ears listening pleasure. The new e.p. contains three songs plus one live version. The music of this band borders somewhere between ferocious garage punk, horrorpunk with some psychobilly elements here and there thrown in for good measure. Think I´m Turning Psyco, Strychnine are sure to become your favorites for a long time. Also, Won˙t You Make Up Your Mind and great live version of All In The Name are superb listening pleasure in these hard times without gigs.
dianacrawls from Montreal are definitely one of the more interesting and different bands that I have listened in the last couple of weeks. With their new e.p. with No Funeral Records the band definitely broke all the boundaries in about 5 songs bordering in circa ten minutes time. One song being weird synth instrumental, one being screamo noisecore, one being a mixture of noise and nervous punkrock ending with screaming hardcore and even one country song. Can you do any better? Definitely one of the more interesting bands and these guys are not afraid to venture into unrest and they fly above all genre normatives which is great.
