Croatian punk veterans No More Idols from Zagreb recently released new e.p. containing couple of songs from their forthcoming new album. This one was recorded, mixed and mastered between Zagreb and Manchester and contains three songs. I love the new material it is so energetic and melodic. Lyrics are in Croatian and deal with personal side of things. Zna sve is a fast hardcore punk song with lots of melody and remaining raw and punk as fuck. Nikada dosta is more of a punk rock street anthem with dirty riffs and superb chorus of the song preceded by nice bridge. Obavijest is for me the best song on this record being an epic anthem with sharp Žikk´s vocals and guitars that cut and deliver melodic hooks at the same time. Can´t wait for the new album.
Core System se prisjeća pokojnog Keith Flinta glazbenim spotom za njihovu interpretaciju pjesme “Omen”
Ideja za pjesmu i spot ušla nam je u glave odmah nakon tužne vijesti da nas je Keith napustio. Veliki smo fanovi Prodigy i željeli smo se oprostiti od njega kroz glazbu koju je sam kreirao. Nismo dugo razmišljali koju pjesmu uzeti pošto “Omen” savršeno pristaje našem stilu ritma i melodije, te je ujedno odlična kombinacija niskih tonova i elektroničkih elemenata. Što se tiče spota, željeli smo humorističnu radnju koja eventualno dostiže vrhunac. Na vrhuncu se zatim prikazuje energija benda i publike. Zato smo uzeli nekoliko ludih outfita, pive i par zanimljivih automobila i organizirali snimanje spota usred praznog polja. Pjesma je snimljena tijekom 2020. godine koja je obilježena COVID virusom pa je organizacija snimanja spota bila prilično izazovna. Pjesma je već mjesecima dio našeg live seta.

Stepped Out are from Split, Croatia and I interviewed them for this zine couple of months ago.
Now, the guys released their brand new e.p. containing four songs. Braveheart is a melodic old school hardcore song with fast and singalong parts that I can totally relate to, because I think it is about Bila´s Mom who passed away and I lost mine too. Abandoned is an emotional song with a more modern hardcore touch and melody with excellent lyrics about finding yourself and finding strength to carry on when all seems lost. Modern Plague is most harsh song on this record reminding me a bit of Strife back in the nineties. The lyrics are about media, gadgets and modern world which rules the lives of most people on this planet. Lost In Flames is for me besides Braveheart the best song on this little release me being in the scene for so many years and reminding all the glory days, heartaches, happy times and sadness. Superb melody, lyrics and spirit.
Great one. This band carries on the torch of hardcore in Croatia.
