(review) Alo!Stari – Pa Kaj Te S Tao Je?

Slovenian Alo!Stari released their full length album finally! I saw these guys play live in Ljubljana when they supported Lagwagon 2019 and they delivered awesome show. Although it is relatively new band in the Slovenian scene, these guys from Maribor are in no way new to the scene because they played in many bands and projects. The music of Alo!Stari is nineties influenced great melodic skatepunk sounding like all those old school Epitaph and Fat Wreck bands that I grew up with. But, they retained great dose of originality because the lyrics are in Slovenian and also in Styrian dialect and are about personal stuff but relate to current situation in this region. Themes are oppression, getting old, trying to leave and survive in this situation, fun, love and I can relate to all of the songs. Vocals are cool, neither too mellow, nor too harsh and musicianship, harmonies and melodies make you wanna listen to this record over and over again. My personal favorites are: Isto Ko Prej, Nea Vem Kam, Zalubo and Valovi. This is for sure one of the best releases that came out this year.

(review) Various – Dental Records Compilation vol 4

Compilations are always a great way to discover exciting and great new bands in the underground scene. Good people at Dental Records released fourth installment in their series, this one being in my humble opinion the best to date. 24 songs on this nice piece from 13 bands. I love how this one offers something for everyone. From more rock influenced The Nailheads, melodic hardcore and skatepunk of Ink Bomb, No Breakfast Goodbye, Hateful Monday or Don´t Panic(my personal favorite – check out this fantastic band), to more harsh hardcore punk of Man Dead Set from Malaysia and Da Beach Boyz from South Africa, as you can see this compilation offers really something from every part of the world and it is a valiant and great effort which shows there are really no boundaries as far as music and underground is concerned. Go support this fine label and tell them you like what they do, I am sure they will appreciate it.
