(record review)FNC DIVERZANT-Stanica Dugave

I can´t believe, but new FNC Diverzant record is finally out! All these years the guys in the band were telling people they are preparing the new material for recording, but all of us, including me, were somehow sceptic about that information.

Actually, the rumours were true and here are 11 new songs, one of them cover by the legendary hardcore band from Kutina, Croatia called Razlog za. I grew up with the music of this band and I could totally relate to the lyrics of their early material since I lived in Zagreb for some time near their neighbourhood and I know what they are singing about. The music is still that melodic punk with lyrics in Croatian singing mostly personal lyrics but also having many political important themes between the lines, no Croatian band can be immune to politics considering the lousy state of our country right now with fascism and darkest urges being on the rise for a longer time now.  Somehow, I am a bit disappointed after listening to the album for couple of times now. After the single Čudne priče was released which is a total anthem I love so much, I expected all of the songs will be like that, but unfortunately that is not the case. Some songs are awesome, but some songs did not sit with me well for the first couple of times, like there is something missing within. Along with the aforementioned single, the other songs I love are Ajde stari, Ne, Ne, Ne and Nemam snage. The rest of the material sounds a bit weird to me, but I guess that is only shock and awe this record being finally out hehe.

The machine is starting up again for CJ Ramone, and today you can head over to our YouTube page to listen to a brand-new song! “Blue Skies,” is the first single off his new album, The Holy Spell…, out May 10th and available for pre-order nowCJ Ramone made his name as a member of (arguably) the greatest punk band of all time, and nearly 25 years after that experience, it’d be understandable if CJ now spent his days resting on his legacy and tsk-tsking the state of punk rock. Instead, The Holy Spell…CJ’s third full-length for FAT, joyfully celebrates his undiminished love of music. It’s right there in the title.

“I never lost that magical feeling that you get from music, and that’s where the title came in,” he says. “The bands that I listened to when I was young that I really enjoyed, I can still put that music on now, and it still has the same magic for me.”

You’ll be able to witness the magic live with not only CJ Ramone, but with fellow labelmates, Mean Jeans! They’ll be tearing up the West Coast on a bout of record release shows at the end of May. Head here for all the dates and info!
