I am sorry that I missed Tragedy gig in Zagreb a little bit more than one month ago, the people who were there told me that it was awesome. Now is the time to listen and review their new record for this zine.

For those who don˙t know, Tragedy are hardcore punk band from Portland, Oregon and the members have been around being veterans of the underground punk hardcore scene for many years playing in different bands like for example His Hero Is Gone. This time on the first new music after a long time, Tragedy bring us 6 new songs in their recognizable style, meaning hardcore punk crust with many melodic guitar hooks sounding almost epic and their political lyrics as always. I love how this band kept it˙s underground ethics, they don˙t rely on social media network like Facebook or Instagram, Twitter and similar stuff, but being true to what they sing about Tragedy has many fans and people love their music all over the world. For me the best song on this record are the title track and A Life Entombed.

(record review)PRINCIP-“Fuck your empire/Culture of nothing”(Life As A Dream Records)

Princip is a one man band playing wicked political hardcore punk with a crusty edge and I listened and reviewed both the e.p-s for this webzine. Both records came on Damjan´s label Life As A Dream Records, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for more awesome releases!

Princip was I guess named after Gavrilo Princip, the guy who shot and killed Austro Hungarian crown prince in 1914.. in Sarajevo and thus started the World war I. Of course, the war was imminent, this was only the spark which set the fire alight. The music of PRINCIP is in fact very grim and raw hardcore punk, sometimes chaotic, with politically engaged lyrics against corporate wars, oppression and war. “Fuck your empire” contains 4 songs and it is a bit more raw and chaotic than “Culture of nothing”. The latter contains also 4 songs but is less raw in my opinion and the songs are better on that one. My personal favourite from that record is “Fucking killing”. Both e.p-s are great and I wish Damjan the best of luck with his releases and he´s got support from this webzine as far as we are concerned.
