Pasmaters are one of the longest running Croatian hardcore punk bands. They are from Pula and have been in the scene for more than 35 years now. They recently released this new album which is very specific, because it is a cover album with 16 songs which cover old school ex Yugoslavia hardcore punk scene.
I think the guys enjoyed recording this one, because that is the music they listen to, but also it is a noble attempt to present the old school bands to the new generations of kids that grew up when these bands were no longer active.
I am usually not so keen fan of cover albums, but this one is a good one. I am 41 years old and have been in the scene for circa 25 years now, but even I don´t know the opus of many bands on this record. I know U.B.R., Motus, Ženevski Dekret, but some of the songs are not known to me so I appreciate this album even more, because there were such good bands in the ex Yugoslavia hardcore punk scene that need to be heard and those songs and records are not to be covered by dust and forgotten somewhere in the past, so go grab this one.
