U drugom nastavku ovog serijala vlastitim riječima je meni jedan od najdražih međimurskih bendova ikada, Najveribest, predstavio njihov pjevač Vito.
Band postoji još od davne 1993. godine i djeluje u raznim postavama pod imenom SADISTIC TORTURE. Paklena četvorka praši, uvjetno rečeno, death-trash metal s raznim primjesama.
Nakon slavnog silaska sa underground scene 1994. godine rađa se NAJVERIBEST u postavi: Adis Bakal na gitari, Ivan Plačko na bubnjevima te Vitomir Marđetko kao pjevač i svojevrsna atrakcija banda + basista (više kao potrošni materijal). Bdw ”najveriorginalniji” je bio Mario Mesarić.
Trojica članova osnivača do danas su vjerna underground sceni. Glazbu Najveribesta opisati jednom riječju je nemoguće, ipak kad bi me stavili pred zid za strijeljanje rekao bi da je to crossover. U žestoki HC zvuk odlično se uklapaju pojedini lagani i akustični dijelovi, te kraće heavy metal solaže. Glas koji je, blago rečeno, energičan plete priče o našem društvu, smislu u besmislu, radostima i problemima, a nerjetko se radi i o vedrim temama.
Godine 1996. band realizira studijski album koji dobro prolazi kod rulje, a i kod stručne kritike ukoliko uopće takva postoji za ovakvu vrstu glazbe. Priča se nastavlja u klasičnom smjeru. Najveribest se ulijenjuje, članovi završavaju fakultete,služe narodu u narodnoj vojsci i tako redom.
U svojoj višegodišnjoj tradiciji javnih nastupanja (ili istupanja) band je u nekih stotinjak koncerata pokrio cijelu sjeverozapadnu Hrvatsku te dio Slovenije (Celje, Maribor, Lendava).
Prepoznavši vrijednosti urbane (ne)kulture Najveribest se 2000-te ponovo vraća na underground scenu sa nekoliko, već sada legendarnih koncerata (EX-club i The Club Čk).
Psi su noviji bend iz Srbije koji svira psychobilly, no nikako nisu noviji u smislu “staža” na sceni, pošto su članovi “pekli” zanat u brojnim underground bendovima i projektima. Čim sam čuo njihove pjesme, odmah su mi se svidjeli i porazgovarao sam malo s njima o svemu za moj webzine.
POŠTO STE RELATIVNO NOVI BEND NA SCENI, MOLIM TE PREDSTAVI BEND ČITATELJIMA OVOG ZINEA KOJI NISU JOŠ ČULI ZA VAS?
Terza: Psi su Rock’n’ Roll/Psychobilly/Orijental Misticizam bend. Sva trojica se znamo godinama, iz dugogodišnjeg poznanstva i obitavanja na koncertima, po klubovima, barovima…javila se ideja da napravimo nešto novo. Zapravo ne toliko novo koliko iz nekog nepoznatog razloga kod nas niko tako nešto nije radio. Tekstovi su na srpskom jeziku, moćan kontrabas, jaka energija na bubnju i mistična gitara.
NEDAVNO STE IMALI NEKE SVIRKE U HRVATSKOJ. KAKO JE BILO? MOŽEŠ LI USPOREDITI PUBLIKU I ATMOSFERU VANI, TE U HRVATSKOJ I SRBIJI?
Terza: Pa ljudi su svuda željni istih stvari. Što se tiče Hrvatske i Srbije manje više stvari stoje slično. Negde osetite želju za zabavom, negde bežanje od depresije i svakodnevnice. U principu to sve zavisi od grada do grada a ne od države do države.
IMATE ISKUSTVO SVIRAJUĆI GODINAMA U RAZLIČITIM BENDOVIMA. JESU LI PSI NA NEKI NAČIN VRHUNAC SVEG ISKUSTVA STEČENOG U DRUGIM BENDOVIMA?
Terza: Nemoj nas tako olako penzionistati tj. umirovljavati. Mi planiramo da još dugo sviramo a samim tim i da napredujemo, tako da ne bih baš nazvao vrhuncem. Do toga ćemo tek doći. Ali jeste na neki način čudan spoj svega što smo nas trojica pojedinačno radili i radimo.

KAKO STOJITE S IZDANJIMA? IMATE LI NEKI LABEL ILI SVE RADITE DIY? ODAKLE VUČETE INSPIRACIJU ZA TEKSTOVE?
Terza: Ove godine treba da nam izađe prvi album. Videćemo još šta ćemo i kako, ali planiramo da ga izdamo za neki label. E sad, videćemo ko šta nudi, a inspiraciju pronalazimo svuda oko nas. Kad kažem to, mislim i na knjige i na filmove ali i na životna iskustva i živote svih koji udišu isti ovaj zagađeni vazduh.
OVO PITANJE POSTAVLJAM SVIM SUGOVORNICIMA, KAKO I KADA SI DOŠAO U KONTAKT S UNDERGROUND SCENOM? KOJI TI JE BIO PRVI KONCERT TAKVE VRSTE?
Jovandeka: Šta znači underground? Ja kad sam bio klinac to je bilo fancy! Glamur.
Dane: Neka 1992. Godina i festival. Brainstorm i još neki Hardcore Punk bendovi. Tad već to nije više bio glamur.
Terza: Pa sredinom devedesetih uz emisiju Punk Off na jednoj novosadskoj televiziji, kao i u betonskoj džungli oko moje osnovne škole koju sam pohađao tada. Prvi koncert na kome sam bio je bio neki popodnevni festival 1999. godine u KST-u. ne sećam se koji bendovi, čudna imena su imali, a prvi gig nekog stranog benda Red Alert 2000. godine u beogradskom Domu omladine.
KAKAV JE ŽIVOT U SRBIJI? JE LI STVARNO TAKO CRNO KAO ŠTO MI NEKI PRIJATELJI KAŽU?
Terza: Crno jeste. Nekad se ima utisak da nikad nije bilo crnje i ako sam siguran da jeste. Al’ ne vidim poentu u kukanju. Svuda je sranje ako sebi tako predstaviš svet. Uradi nešto da popraviš barem u onome u čemu možeš da utičeš.

GRANDPA CANDYS, SU SVIRALI VIŠE PUTA U HRVATSKOJ. PSI TAKOĐER. JE LI IKADA BILA NEKA SMIJEŠNA ILI ČUDNA ANEGDOTA KOJU MOŽEŠ PODIJELITI S NAMA?
Jovandeka: Uvek su se dešavale neke čudne pojave vezane za auto. I sa Grandpa Candys i sad sa Psima. Svaki put se nešto kvarilo. Misticizam.
Terza: Eto, možda bi troškove puta i popravki podelili sa vama hahaha.
DO KOJE BI MJERE DOZVOLILI EVENTUALNI LABEL DA SE MIJEŠA U KREATIVNOST I POLITIKU BENDA?
Terza: Dogovori su svakako bitna stvar. Svakako bi bili spremni za različite ideje, ali granice u tom smislu moraju da postoje.
IMATE LI TEKSTOVA NA ENGLESKOM JEZIKU? DA LI BI SE RADO PROBILI NEGDJE U INOZEMSTVO ILI STE SE OGRANIČILI SAMO NA REGIJU?
Terza: Zašto misliš da samo na engleskom mora da se peva da bi se sviralo van? Al’ svakako smo prevashodno fokusirani na region, a i složićeš se da ima, tj. gotovo nema rockabilly/psychobilly bendova na maternjem jeziku u ovim krajevima. Zašto ne probati nešto tako? A i probali bi smo više da približimo ceo ovaj mistični fazon publici ovde, a to na engleskom nije moguće.

BLIŽIMO SE KRAJU INTERVIEWA. ZA KRAJ, TIPIČNO FANZINAŠKO PITANJE. IMAŠ LI ŠTO ZA DODATI ŠTO BI RADO REKAO, A NISAM TE PITAO?
Terza: Pu pu pu…daleko bilo, kakav kraj? Ima do kraja još dosta. Ovo je tek početak. ;-)
Dane: Ali nije to još gotovo, nije dovoljno sve propalo!
This band is an absolute must considering the amount of energy they create with their songs. This is greasy but energetic horror rock at its best! It was about time that I do some talking with these people for my webzine.
Wolfie – Hootin’ and Hollering and Horror Blood Hand Sam– Bangin’ & Bleeding and Horror McNasty – Guitar Horror Handsome Jimmy – Bass Horror Jeano Roid – Guitar Horror
Welcome to my webzine. For start, how would you describe The Creeping Cruds to the readers of this zine?
McNasty- Take equal parts AC/DC, RAMONES and MOTÖRHEAD. Mix in equal parts blood, guts, gore & dark humor.
Wolfie– Add to that monster movies with a pinch of deep southern fried TWANG.
McNasty– Blend throughly and Enjoy.
Bloodhand Sam– -Laser-focused, knuckle-headed, horror movie themed, old school Nashville punk rock.
Jeano– Self-indulgent drivel for middle aged monster-kids.
Handsome Jimmy– (sits quietly being handsome).
Your songs sound so greasy and dirty but at the same time very energetic. Where do you get your lyrical inspiration from? What comes first, music or the lyrics?
Jeano– We make up a list of ten preposterous titles then take a decade to populate that list with matching music.
Bloodhand Sam– I play drumbs.
Mcnasty– Music is first, usually. Inspiration strikes at unusual and random times.
Wolfie– Muses are monster and slasher films from all genres and era’s. The order of inspiration varies, but if the music don’t work, the words don’t matter. A lot of the time the words work but the music ain’t quite right so the lyrics hover and linger like a disembodied soul waiting to inhabit the right music.
Handsome Jimmy– (brushes lint from his t-shirt)
Did you guys play in Europe?
McNasty– Never played Europe. Would be nice to one day.
Bloodhand Sam– I’ve played Europe with other bands. America doesn’t respect the act of performance or, maybe, see it in its logical social context.
Wolfie– I played in Croatia (and all of the former Yugoslavia) back in 1976 with a group called The St. Louis Junior Tamburitzans. I played celo. Ja sam Amerikanac rođen Hrvatski.(google translation) My father was born in Vinkovci my mother in Belgrade. Big shout out to my peeps In Zagreb, Vinkovci and Dubrovnik. Zivjeli! I’m also a Vuco fan. Volim Piti!
Jeano– Europe hates The Creeping Cruds. They told us so.
Handsome Jimmy– (sits quietly being handsome).
You work with Stikman records/Spat rec as a band. Are you pleased with those labels? To what extent would you allow the label to mix with the band politics and songmaking?
Jeano– In 2016 there is no such thing as a label.
Wolfie– Stikman records/Spat are soley distribution. They do it for the glory. As far as politics goes, the US has become a 24 hour political-propaganda Scheiße Sturm. Don’t need to add to that. That’s not to say every once in a while there might be a a little nugget of double entendre.
Handsome Jimmy– (sits quietly being handsome).
Bloodhand Sam– I play drumbs.
How is living in USA in general? Is there such a thing as an American dream?
Handsome Jimmy– (lights a camel).
McNasty– living is living…the “American dream” sometimes seems like a nightmare….probably best to just leave it at that.
Wolfie– Right now? It’s kinda like we’re in a recurring a historical nightmare, ( if one knows one’s history). Stuff is happening kinda like how I wound up being born in the US.
Bloodhand Sam– When we talk about “the American dream” we’re referring specifically to successful adult white males. The rest are support cast at best. Makes zero sense.
Jeano– Hot dogs, apple pie and horror movies. The American Dream.
Do you have a strong scene in Nashville? How about Tennessee in general?(venues, bands, gigs, zines etc)
Jeano– There is no strong scene in Nashville. But there is a strong smell.
McNasty– I try not to pay attention to the “scene”. Most times all it is is fashion trends and a who you know kind of world.
Wolfie– Nashville is “Music City”. Primarily, country music, but you can generally find quality music in almost all genres. That diversity makes for smaller audiences in town. But it makes for fierce fans! Go out to the smaller towns and you’ll get a big time welcome!
Bloodhand Sam– I play drumbs.
Handsome Jimmy– (gets up to go to the rest room).
Is there some new material coming out? How was the feedback until now?
McNasty– New material is always being worked on…it just a matter of quality over quantity. Feedback is generally favorable.
Wolfie– We got a lot of solid set of songs that we’ve been playing for years. We just gotta’ record it before the silver bullet gets me.
Bloodhand Sam– Great new songs but the guy who’s wanting to record us right now (me) is kind of a fuck-up. God no. Feedback was horrible. Just horrible.
Handsome Jimmy– (returns from then restroom).
How did you guys come to love horror? How did you get in contact with the underground scene in general?
Jeano– Television – both questions.
Wolfie– I always liked horror and sci-fi monster movies and supernatural stuff like The Exorcist. Just did.
McNasty– I always liked monster movies as a kid and scary things in general…don’t know what is was that I found so appealing. The underground found us, we just did as we did.
Bloodhand Sam– My first crush as a kid was Morticia Addams from the Addams Family tv show from the 60s. It just got worse from there.
Handsome Jimmy– (goes back to the restroom to wash his hands).
Lets talk horror. Horror movie vs horror book? What is your fave horror movie subgenre?
McNasty– Movies over books. Always been more a non-fiction reader – true crime, history & music bios. I tend to lean towards the goofy B-movie Splatter films. The more outrageously gory, the better.
Wolfie– I’m a tad on the dyslexic side, so was it movies mostly me for.
Bloodhand Sam– I Love the Creepy Pasta thing. Different media have different effectiveness. If pressed, though, I do love a good vintage horror movie!
Jeano– They make horror books? Poop horror. Poop horror is the best.
Handsome Jimmy– (Tosses paper towel into trash. sits quietly being handsome).
We are closing the end of this interview. Is there some scary urban legend in Nashville that you could share with us? Thank you for the interview.
McNasty– Scary urban legend….hmmm…oh, I got one…Kid Rock is country. Haha!
Wolfie– The greatest mystery in Nashville is when Nashville radio DJs figured out that the country music community was being replaced by emotionless alien duplicate pod like creatures starting back in the late 80’s and early 90’s.
Bloodhand Sam– I don’t know about Nashville, but here in Murfreesboro, there’s a store that people say that if you buy something there, you will never leave Murfreesboro. The only way to break the curse is if you piss on the spire that marks the geographic center of TN. I finger-banged a lesbian there once but it didn’t work.
Handsome Jimmy– (seems nervous and leaves the room).
Jeano– The two actual urban legends are The Bell Witch and the lesser known Dozier Coven. These old gals were up to some serious witchery and were said to have frozen several dozen yankee soldiers with a mere stare, allowing Confederate soldiers to do them in during The Battle of Franklin. After the war a group of freed slaves confronted the witches and put an end to the evil once and for all. They say there is a secret cemetery where the coven is buried, each facing downward so they cannot look to the night sky and conjur a way out of their graves. As no one knows where the cemetery is maybe they have already escaped! Thanks again for taking the time to talk with us.
