(review) CC-Prisoner Of State

Leave a comment

After the great debut ep, CC are back with their debut full length album. I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

I saw this band from Zagreb, Croatia, play live as a support to Slapshot in Slovenia this past winter and I can safely say that they are one of the most energetic hardcore punk bands that I listened on Croatian scene in the last ten years or so. This line-up is musically so tight and so awesome that I literally get goosebumps while listening. The album has 8 songs, some are in Croatian language, some in English. The lyrics are about being a modern slave, about releasing your chains, how to stay alive and maybe normal in this world and similar. Fast paced thrash hardcore punk with angry vocals, great backing vocals, some catchy guitar riffs and above all greatly written songs. It all reminds me of the legacy of  fine 90-ies bands from Zagreb like Verbalni Delikt, Radikalna promjena, DHB, Optička varka and similar jewels of the scene back in the days, only better. Filip and Studio Depth really done a great job again and the sound of this album is fantastic! I recommend it and also recommend you to check out this band live! Top songs for me:Prisoner Of State, Liar, Tvoj Stav, Tvoja Metoda.

(record review)BKD-Balkan Oi!

Leave a comment

Time for another band from the northern parts of Croatia. BKD from Varaždin released their new e.p. and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

This trio made of one girl and two boys have been around for a long time now and only in the recent years they gained the respect and fan base they deserved with their hard work throughout all of the years. After their great full length, now is the time for a three song brand new e.p. The lyrics are in Croatian language about working class, drinking, having fun and not carrying about politics and shit. The title song is a sarcastic ode about the typical redneck idiot and there is abundant of such shitheads in our country right now. Jebem ti radne subote(Fuck working Saturdays) is a theme known to all of us who ever worked on Saturday. Lepo je u raju(It is nice in Heaven, but…) is in my opinion the strongest and best song on this record with anthemic chorus and just made for singing along at the shows. The musicianship is tight, vocalist/bassist Ida sounds better when she sings melodic than when she shouts angry hehe. Cool record, only a bit more distortion on the guitar wouldn´t hurt, eh?
