(record review)ŽULJ-“Resetiraj civilizaciju”

1 Comment

Croatian punk hardcore scene is now better than ever. I have been a part of it for more than 25 years now, and I can safely say that there are many great bands, kids who promote gigs, venues and all that goes with it. Žulj are Croatian band from the city of Rijeka. This is their second demo album that came out a couple of days before and I listened to it and reviewed it for this webzine.

Žulj Resetiraj Civilicaciju 1

 

I reviewed their debut release “Vlažne pjesme” a while ago and it was an okay debut demo release. Now, this second record is really strong. This band started in 2015.but the members of the band have been active around playing in bands before so this record is much, much stronger than the debut. Record contains 10 songs. The songs are angry punk as fuck with rawer and dirtier production which is great for that kind of punk. The lyrics are shouted in Croatian and they are mainly political and very angry inspired by all the wrong shit that´s been going on in this country for the last couple of years. It really reminded me of the legendary Croatian punk hardcore band Nula which was one of my favorite Croatian punk band in the 90-ies. I really loved this record because almost no one plays punk as fuck in the Croatian scene anymore and that´s not good. Don´t get me wrong, I love the more melodic side of punk hardcore, but we should also have angry, energetic punk hardcore bands and Žulj are just that. Great record!

8/10

They just released their brand new video for “Predstava”, in my opinion the best song from their current album with the same title meaning “The Show” in Croatian.

Check out the video, get both of their full length albums and support the guys, I know it would mean a lot to them!

(record review)THE PHOSPHORUS BOMBS-“Blank Slates”

Leave a comment

I never cease to be amazed with the Australian punk hardcore scene. So many awesome bands, so many awesome people and although we live across half the world from each other, I feel connected to them by the magic of music. The Phosphorus Bombs from Sydney have a new record out and I listened and reviewed it for this webzine.

“Blank Slates” contains five songs of refreshing yet somehow nostalgic hardcore punk. The music is very harsh and energetic, angry and noisy, yet it still contains enough hidden melody underneath to keep it catchy and excellent. Don´t get me wrong, this guys really know how to handle their music instruments and play well and thought out punk. The lyrics are personal, somehow self deprecating but still enough political and smart between the lines. The song that I loved the most while listening this record a couple of times was “Overdue”, being the most melodic and energetic song on the record for me. This is an excellent record by the excellent band, so go get it, write to the guys in the band, tell them how you loved and why you loved their music, I am sure it will mean tons to them!

8,5/10
