(record review)BKD-Balkan Oi!

Time for another band from the northern parts of Croatia. BKD from Varaždin released their new e.p. and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

This trio made of one girl and two boys have been around for a long time now and only in the recent years they gained the respect and fan base they deserved with their hard work throughout all of the years. After their great full length, now is the time for a three song brand new e.p. The lyrics are in Croatian language about working class, drinking, having fun and not carrying about politics and shit. The title song is a sarcastic ode about the typical redneck idiot and there is abundant of such shitheads in our country right now. Jebem ti radne subote(Fuck working Saturdays) is a theme known to all of us who ever worked on Saturday. Lepo je u raju(It is nice in Heaven, but…) is in my opinion the strongest and best song on this record with anthemic chorus and just made for singing along at the shows. The musicianship is tight, vocalist/bassist Ida sounds better when she sings melodic than when she shouts angry hehe. Cool record, only a bit more distortion on the guitar wouldn´t hurt, eh?

(record review)SENF-Cinik e.p.

There is no global scene without supporting your local scene and little bands that your friends play in, global scene is in fact the network of such bands, so I present you Senf, the band from the town Varaždin, Croatia and I listened and reviewed their new e.p. for our zine.

This is the third e.p. from the guys and I already wrote about the last one here. Senf is a band that has experienced guys that are in the scene for a long time now, from bands Rectal Destroyer, Fajrunt, The Hangover, Alkotest…This band plays crossover hardcore punk with a lot of metalic parts, stoner parts and pretty brutal vocals courtesy of their vocalist Ivda. But, at the same time their music has that melody and haunting way of playing, the line that is similar to all of the Varaždin bands with excellent musicianship, these guys can really play. This e.p. contains 6 songs, okay 5 plus a cover of old band Skorbut from Varaždin. My personal favorites from this record are Pas and Japa. The lyrics are in Croatian language, mainly satire, cynism, but there are a lot of contemporary themes that can be read between the lines if you know what I mean. Senf grows from e.p. to e.p. and I can safely say that this is their best material to date. Check this one out!

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!
