In-Sane - ...Keeping Ourselves Close To Our Hearts...

In-Sane - ...Keeping Ourselves Close To Our Hearts..., 2006 Slovenia Broken Board Records, 2006 Punk, melodic HC (11 tracks, 32min, CDR~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 87MB) Great band from Gornja Radgona. Only three guys, but they make very quality noise and with this attitude they can become very recognizable in the European scene. This first kind of demo album was first pressed (burned) in 100 copies that sold out very fast. So they re-issued it. Buy it here and show your appreciation for all the great work they are doing. My only complain is about a bit boring and cliche lyrics and maybe too monotone song structure. Next spring (2009) their 2nd full length is coming out at MoonLee Records. Definitely worth of wait because we can expect one of the best Slovenian punk records in recent time! In-Sane MySpace. Downlaod

Low Punch - Act...revolt...live...

Low Punch - Act...revolt...live..., 2000 Slovenia Choose Life Records, 2000 HC, Screamo (13 tracks, 24min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 47MB) Not FLOORPUNCH but LOWPUNCH. Besides the name, there are also a lot of musical paralles. LOWPUNCH play classic 80ies old school with very fast drums. Musically you know what you get: dance-parts, sing-alongs, etc. They really know how to present the old school. The songs sound powerful and have lots of spirit. The riffs don't get boring and songs like "it's not over yet" or "..." add even more diversity. "Act...revolt...live" does not get boring although it lasts almost 40 minutes and carries 24 songs (including their old demo). The production is clean and tight. The lyrics deal with our modern society, the punk and hardcore community, the idea of d.i.y., racism, homophobia, etc. Everything is kept really political but without being docmatic or superficial. There's NOTHING about this record that I don't like and if you're into thoughtful old school hardcore you should go for this one! ''KEEP THE FAITH'', Christoph ------------------------------ From start it may sound a bit predictable, but later songs develop in to very listenable hc. At the 13th song you'll be listening really loud and wishing more. Mastering was done by one of the Slovenian best guitarists Bor Zulijan. I don't know if that means a lot, but it must something. :) !I have left out tracks form 14-24 because they are old demo recordings and I find the album very more real without those demo tracks! You can still BUY this album here and here and you won’t regret it! There is also an explanation for all lyrics which is very great. Low Punch MySpace Low Punch Official Download

Muškat Hamburg - Uživaj pokončno

Muškat Hamburg - Uživaj pokončno, 2007 Slovenia FV, Podoba, 2005 Punk 'n roll, Garage (14tracks, 40min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 90MB) I wrote something about this great band here. SO here is the first full length. I believe you can still get it on their official page. You can even find it in some music stores. Don't hesitate! If you buy this, you will get great designed digipack with numbered disc (x/666) and off course great punk rock album. This band is for sure very underrated, even though it is one of the best rock bands these days in Slovenia. Download.
