One Step Away – novi single je vani, a uskoro i novi album!

Leave a comment

Punk rock kvartet One Step Away novim singlom „Stavi nas tamo ispod” najavljuje treći album „Zzzzzzzzzzz”, koji će svjetlo dana ugledati za dva tjedna, i predstavlja novog člana sastava.

Bend se oprostio s drugim gitaristom Domagojem Čokonajem, a zamijenio ga je Nino Rašidagić (Pičke Vrište, Fast Response), koji se publici službeno predstavio na nedavnom dvostrukom koncertu u Vintage Industrialu.

OSA je kroz godine stvorio prepoznatljiv zvuk, suprotstavljajući razigrane melodije i brzi ritam s grubim emotivnim vokalom Zorana Piberčnika i surovo iskrenom lirikom socijalne tematike. Njihov treći singl „Stavi nas tamo ispod“ na poletnoj gitarskoj podlozi kroz necenzurirane metafore i sarkazam progovara o osjećaju manje vrijednosti i nedostatku empatije kod pojedinaca.

Singl je snimio i producirao Dražen Gavrilović Gara (Podroom studio), za mastering se pobrinuo Pavle Miholjević, dok je za videospot zaslužan Dinko Šimac (Beyond Pines Films). Glazbu potpisuje cijeli bend, a tekst je napisao Zoran Piberčnik. Singl „Stavi nas tamo ispod“ dostupan je putem YouTube kanala benda, a album „Zzzzzzzzzzz”, s kojeg smo prethodno čuli singlove „Kutak ljubavi” i „Sada je (naj)bolje” bit će objavljen 6. prosinca pod okriljem diskografa Dostava Zvuka te dostupan na svim streaming servisima.

OSA (One Step Away) su Zoran Piberčnik (bas, vokal), Bojan Kurbanjev (gitara), Nino Rašidagić (gitara) i Marko Kuhar (bubnjevi).

OSA je izvođač Dostave Zvuka.

(review) Sukob – Tvoje misli su nečija umjetnost

Leave a comment

Time for a band from my homeland scene, Croatia to grace the pages of this zine. Sukob are from Zagreb, capitol of Croatia and they are relatively new band, this being their first release. But members of Sukob are veterans of this scene with decades of playing in bands such as Verbalni Delikt, AK-47, Ljubiša Samardžić….also some of the band members have been anarcho activists and releasing diy tapes, cd-s and vinyls for decades now. So, when I heard about this band, I was eager to hear their songs when they recorded something and here it is. 10 songs of hardcore punk with Croatian language screamed from the top of the lungs of singer Fistra. Music is mid tempo to d beat Scandinavian influenced old school hardcore punk with dark overtones and almost apocalyptic sounding atmosphere because situation in the world is nothing to be happy for. This band reminds us that punk is more than fun, beers, riding unicorns and partying all day long. Songs are short and to the point and this whole e.p. is around a bit more than 15 minutes long. Songs are a bit similar to one another for my taste, but no matter this is healthy dose of hardcore punk telling us the current state of things here in our country and in the world. Go check it out!

Dead Dog Summer released a new video for ‘Diamonds and Thorns’!

Leave a comment

Croatian post-hardcore band Dead Dog Summer is announcing their collaboration with Geenger Records with the first single and video for ‘Diamonds and Thorns’ from their debut album ‘A Place of Someday’, which will be released in September this year.

The band recorded the material in their own rehearsal space, and Ivan Jakić from the Kut Sobe studio was taking care of the mix and master. The video was shot in the club Prostor in their hometown Čakovec, and Alex Drvenkar, better known as Air Alex, was in charge of filming and editing.

‘Diamonds and Thorns’ is a story about taking things and people for granted and denying the reality we live in, about constantly spinning around and waiting for things in life to improve on their own, and the fear that holds us back from taking the first step to happiness. 

Dead Dog Summer is a relatively young band on the Croatian scene, founded in late 2020, and band members are Igor Bistrovic on vocals and guitar, Kreso Zerjav on bass and vocals, and Boris Strahija on drums.The band is currently preparing a promo tour for the fall of 2022, which should cover Croatia and surrounding countries.

The song and the video is available on all streaming platforms via Geenger Records.–> https://geenger.link/deaddogsummer-diamondsandthorns
