Long time no gigs concerning punk rock here in our town. Thanks to tireless crew of Cezam, Prostor received finally its dose of beautiful punk rock with two bands this Friday evening.

iLLeagle are from Koprivnica and this was the first time I have listened to this band that consists of former members of many bands from Koprivnica hardcore punk scene and I love every single second of their half hour set. These guys play fast and melodic punk/skate punk like it was done in the nineties and they have lyrics in Croatian language which is another plus for me. If I must compare their music to some bands, it would be Ateisti from Varaždin, Six Pack and Overflow, especially concerning one atmospheric ballad they played amongst their, mainly fast punk oriented setlist. The crowd enjoyed their set, even singing along to final song. I can´t wait for these guys to record something and having a release out to listen.

After them, all out storm and rain started outside, so it was about perfect time for Trophy Jump from Zagreb, to start their I think first set in our hometown. These guys did couple of European tours, have couple of e.p.-s and one full length out and they are experienced how to deliver energetic and mighty set to the crowd. Trophy Jump play pop punk with touch of fast old school melodic punk here and there, also some indie and alternative song parts, creating one energetic, harsh and melodic vibe, with great lyrics in English. Frontman/guitarist Antun has remarkable stage persona, and I am so happy to be able to see how much these guys enjoyed playing their, almost one hour set, smiling and playing all along, and rest of us knew how to appreciate it and give it back to the band. Maybe, there were not so much people attending, but we all enjoyed Trophy Jump set as one, with the band delivering all of their set list favorites plus some emphasize on newer material from the actual full length album that dropped couple of months ago. This is what we needed. That was an excellent punk rock evening on a stormy Friday.
