Partleki are band from my hometown that has been in existence if I am not mistaken since 2010. I think I watched then their first show while they were supporting then little known band from Zagreb called Brkovi in club Prostor in my hometown.

They released their first debut album in 2013.called Posto, kume, lonac? They took their time with this second new full length since seven years has passed since the debut. The new record contains 14 songs. Why are Partleki special? Because they are in fact cover band doing only children songs, from cartoons, kid shows, kindergarten child popular anthems and similar songs. Their material spans from known songs like Spuzva Bob Skockani(Sponge Bob theme song), to songs from popular Yugoslavia show Kocka, kockica called Carstvo u drugarstvu which is one of my favorite songs on this record beside Ni medu, ni zeku, hit from the obscure tv show called Normalnofobija which went circa 15 years ago on one local tv channel. Overall feeling that I get  with this album is that it sounds more powerful, more stronger, production is awesome, although they recorded both albums in the same studio this one sounds a lot more convincing and has more drive. Lazar˙s vocals are better than ever, his trademark oi barrel voice is great, but his real power is the clean more demanding vocal melodic parts, which he sings great, I wish he would do more clean vocals and more higher harmonies because he does it great. Guitarist/backing vocalist Ivan and drummer Marko are otherwise members of long time standing hardcore punx Bakterije, so the musicianship is great. Also, I love that the guys did bits of known and less known punk songs and bands incorporated to their songs here and there, I won˙t tell you which ones, discover it for yourself. Two more songs I must mention being my favorites on this record are Cokoladna Kisa and Macak Maksim. Go see this band live, they are tons of fun with these songs on stage and hopefully we will not wait again seven years for next album.
