(gig report)Fakofbolan celebrated their 25th birthday in Unterhund!

Unterhund in Ormož, Slovenia was once again a place to be on a Saturday night.  After recent Slapshot gig which was awesome, it was time for another punk legends to step on the stage of this beautiful club.

Fakofbolan are now legendary punk band from Pula, Croatia. When I was a kid growing up in a time of war and darkness in the early nineties, their songs helped me carry on through all that shit and we were singing those songs during every birthday party bash, we were all we had back then, no internet, only fanzines and letters and record/tape trading.

Now, Fakofbolan are celebrating 25 years in the scene, okay they had a pause of couple of years in between, but who cares? We were in Unterhund when they played there back in 2012.and I still remember that show with a smile on my face, so I was happy to go there again, being near our hometown and it was Saturday night.

When we arrived, there were quite a few people talking, joking and drinking in front of the club and inside. Time quickly passed in good company and the gig started around 11 pm. The band which opened the gig was Orkester Selotejp from Slovenia. Those guys played some version of ska/rock/punk and their set was long, but they just weren´t my cup of tea, but the people had fun and that´s what is most important.

Fakofbolan stepped on stage, checked their instruments and without too many talk started their set, 25 songs for the 25 years of band. Their set was made of songs from all of their releases, the last album from 2014.that doesn´t suit me so well and all of the oldies but goldies like Ulica, Da li znaš, Ostali smo, Neznani junaci…The people were dancing, singing along and having fun, Šapo and company from the band were happy and the gig was superb. I was so happy when they played old songs like Imamo Hrvatsku and Ropstvo je sloboda. The time passed by in a flash and the gig was over, so we went home a bit tired, but happy after another great punk gig. Cheers and many, many thanks to the people of Unterhund for doing such a fine job with promoting great gigs.

(photo report)PUNK ROMANTIKA 2019 edition once again sold out in Močvara, Zagreb

Every year, Punk Romantika festival in Zagreb delivers great fun and gigs with awesome lineup and atmosphere! This year, it was held in club Močvara, Zagreb. The line-up was Fiskalni Račun, Aktivna Propaganda, Fnc Diverzant, Kurve and Debeli Precjednik. Also, Denis & Denis played, but I never knew why awesome punk hardcore gigs must be spoiled with some pop and similar bands from the past. Okay, when you mix the genres within the underground scene, like punk, hardcore, metal, grind and similar at the same festival, but mixing pop, mainstream music, punk and hardcore is just shit.

Anyway, part of our crew was there and our Irina made this nice photo report so check it out.

FAT WRECK CHORDS SIGNS CLOWNS! NEW SONG IS HERE TO LISTEN! PRE-ORDER THE NEW RECORD!

1672bd36-fea6-4928-9c51-8dea9dd4bce7

Get ready to have a new favorite FAT band, y’all! We signed Clowns! Straight outta Straya (that’s Australia for all you squares), they’ve been tearing it up for years. As long-time fans, we’re stoked to welcome them into the FAT fold and release their brand-new album, Nature/Nurture on April 12th. FAT’s got you covered worldwide, except in Oz, where Damaged Records will be doing the honors.

Vocalist, Stevie Williams expounds on their latest effort: “Nature/Nurture is an amalgamation of our last three records, which we’ve made over the last 6 or so years,” he says. “Our line-up has been a little bit fluid over the years, but this record is the band really coming to fruition with this line-up and with all the different sounds that we’ve experimented with over the years – everywhere from super-adolescent punk rock to nine-minute long psych jams.”

Don’t let “psych jams” throw you; Nature/Nurture is a ripper. So, whatcha waiting for? Bounce over to our YouTube channel and listen to the first blistering track, “Prick.” Then, pre-order your copy today! Aussies head here to grab yours!
