Heavy act DEFOCUS follow up on their previous two singles ‘biased’ & ‘let the bond be my grave’ with another blistering new track after causing a sensation with their debut album In The Eye Of Death We Are All The Same.

With ‘crooked mind’, DEFOCUS hit straight into the listeners’ brains and once there, the song immediately unfolds its heaviness, guided by the mental chaos of the lyrics. When plagued by a crooked mind, people often feel as though they are not alone in their thoughts. Voices, speaking in unfamiliar ways, manipulate and distort their internal perception of self, creating a sense of disconnection and confusion.

Nakon prošlogodišnjeg rasprodanog koncerta u zagrebačkom Boogaloou, beogradska bijesna metal punk mašina Mortal Kombat dolazi 9. ožujka 2024. u Veliki pogon Tvornice kulture u sklopu promocije svog petog studijskog albuma koji će biti objavljen krajem prosinca.

Na sceni već više od desetljeća, Mortal Kombat tvrdim zvukom i direktnim tekstovima na satiričan način iznosi oštru kritiku modernog društva. Domaća publika, iz godine u godinu sve brojnija, zaželjela je Mortal Kombat u većem klupskom prostoru jer se za prošlogodišnji koncert u Boogaloou tražila karta više. Mortal Kombat – „Rijaliti“

Odrastajući na tvrdoj underground glazbi devedesetih, zbog deficita domaćih bendova u tom žanru, 2009. su oformili bend kojeg su i sami željeli biti slušatelji. Već prve pjesme zakotrljale su im zavidnu brojku pogleda na YouTubeu i od tada su korak po korak, po svojim pravilima, disciplinirano i oslanjajući se samo na vlastitu intuiciju, gradili svoj put prema vrhu alternativne scene.

U deset godina postojanja objavili su četiri studijska albuma i jedan uživo, a u Tvornici kulture predstavit će svoj peti studijski album koji će objaviti krajem prosinca na službenoj stranici benda.

Ulaznice Cijena Earlybird ulaznica iznosit će 10 eura do 31. prosinca, nakon toga cijena ulaznice će biti 13 eura, a na dan koncerta za ulaznicu će biti potrebno izdvojiti 15 eura. Prodajna mjesta su Dirty Old Shop (Tratinska 34) i putem Entrio sustava.

Koncert organizira Dostava Zvuka.

Finnish punkroll band UGLY PUNCH is set to release self-titled EP later in 2024. The first single Bad Boy is released today via Secret Entertainment and music video is available here: https://youtu.be/xIA4CN6cNoc 

The band comments:
” “Bad Boy” is the first single from the forthcoming self-titled EP. This song gets straight to the point and gives a good taste of what it’s all about. So the name of the game is dirty punkroll, combining old and new sounds with a personal touch. The backbone of the song is a combination of a strong bass pattern and a rolling drum beat. It combines with guitar and saxophone to create a sparse soundscape, finished off with a personal and playful vocal interpretation.”

BIOGRAPHY:

“𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘉𝘈𝘕𝘋 𝘛𝘏𝘈𝘛 𝘎𝘌𝘛𝘚 𝘠𝘖𝘜𝘙 𝘍𝘌𝘌𝘛 𝘔𝘖𝘝𝘐𝘕𝘎 𝘈𝘕𝘋 𝘈𝘚𝘚 𝘚𝘞𝘐𝘕𝘎𝘐𝘕𝘎” 

UGLY PUNCH is a band with roots in groovy rock and punk music. I guess you could say a kind of “punkroll” sound with a personal touch. This gang was founded in 2023, but they all have a long history in music. Our base is a great space in the middle of the forest in Tampere.

The goal is to keep our music accessible and something that is easy to get under your feet. Also, that there’s a certain good vibe about what we do and that we don’t take ourselves too seriously. 

Nevertheless, we do this with all our heart and soul.  
The first self-titled ep will be released in early 2024. A full-length album is also planned and will be released in the coming year. 

Line-up:
𝘎𝘶𝘳𝘶 𝘚𝘶𝘬𝘳𝘢𝘮 – 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳 & 𝘷𝘰𝘤𝘴 
𝘚𝘭𝘺 𝘖𝘮 – 𝘥𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘴 
𝘝-1-𝘗 – 𝘴𝘢𝘹𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦 
𝘕𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘳 – 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘴
