FPO - (Straight to the point) + Wasserdicht - (S/T) - (Split), 2003 Macedonia/Slovenia Homegrown, 2003 Hardcore/Crust (12 tracks, 10 min, 3''CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 28MB) FxPxOx or FOREVER POSITIVELY OBSESSED is a Hardcore band from Skopje - Macedonia, formed in 2001. They are no longer playing since 2008 I think, but have left behind rich discography with alot of splits (w/ My revenge, Secret, I Object!, Seein Red, Threat of riot, Milkadd, Wasserdicht) and appeared on lot compilations. Some members formed/joined very popular Macedonian band: Bernays Propaganda. They play 6 fast old school HC songs on this release, that was, btw. released for Singapore label, Homegrown. Wasserdicht is a Slovenian band that is playing from 1990 with some member changes and minor pauses. They play fast Hardcore with strong crust vocals. Wasserdicht discography holds some splits with Scuffy Dogs, Konstrukt, Humanitaer, Homo Homini Lupus and Fpo. They also appear on compilations like: No border jam, Držimo skupaj, Preko nacionalizma i rata, Unterhund veselica. So this is very short 3inch split CD that brings the best from both bands.

Harry - Clowns and Monkeys

Harry - Clowns and Monkeys, 2009 Slovenia Harry, 2009 Punk/HC (13 tracks, 28 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 64MB) Brand new record straight from Ajdovščina. This is very nicely designed album second in a row from Harry. The first s/t is from 2004 and you can still BUY here or here, but Clowns and Monkeys is far better. It holds 13 melodic tracks with powerful HC singing and the band has evolved not one, but five steps from the debut s/t release. Harry as a band found their sound, while they were still searching it with first album. You should really get this CD, cuz it kicks ass. Just ask boys at Harry MySpace or order it here. Download

No Limits - www.borba.non-stop




No Limits - www.borba.non-stop, 2003
Slovenia PINA, 2003
Hardcore/Crust/Oi

(14 tracks, 40 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 87MB)

No Limits have a long way behind them, since they stared way back in 1990 under name 'MENTAL AFFLICTION'. They played over 100 shows, the band had also some member fluctuations and mixed genres from HC to Crust, Oi, Trash... Their discography is: Our little Wooden House - Demo tape (1993), Jurassic Punk - Live tape (1998) and www.borba.non-stop - full length (2003). There is more exact No Limits BIO, from Radio Študent, included in the file. Here is what it says at InterPunk where you can still GET the www.borba.non-stop CD. 40 minutes of powerful hardcore that will throw you out of your seats and give you a reason to slam around your room a bit. Jumping from crust to ska or from Oi to trash (with a hint of melody thrown in), No Limits have their first official release after 12 years of playing together. It was worth the wait - they have a grown-up sound that gels power, speed and aggression. NO LIMITS are a fresh kick in the hardcore scene - be sure to hear more about them in the near future, a Slovenian (ex-Yugolavia) shark attack in the underground ocean. You can also get it by contacting band via No Limits MySpace.

Final Approach - Trash Me! (Ep)

Final Approach - Trash Me! (Ep), 2007 Slovenia diy, 2007 Old School HC (6 tracks, 7 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@320kbps, 20MB) Final Approach is a band from Krško, Slovenia. I guess this is an Ep and not Demo since, they have a full lenght called 'Lost youth' from 2006. Personaly this Ep for me is more intense than mentioned albumm, but Lost Youth has the benefit of complete album experience. Short but sweet! Tracks: 01 For love and peace 02 Our World 03 Moj znak svobode 04 The way it is 05 Svoboda 06 This is Krško, Not LA You can still get your hands on Lost Youth album here or here. Download

Gužva U Bajt - Demo

Gužva U Bajt - Demo, 2005 Slovenia Diy, 2005 Street Punk (15 tracks, 39 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@VO, 60MB) G.U.B. exist since 2004 and are from Ljubljana. By their own words from G.U.B. MySpace they are none political band that follows drunk-punk ideals and represents alternative to rich pussy punk bands and political activists. They are trying to represent their own view of the world, that is everything, but following political ideals. Their goal in performing is not to change society, but to enjoy life and things they love to do. You can find 11 own tracks and 4 covers (Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Partibrejkers and Pankrti). Situations from everday life are presented on this demo thorugh classic three chord (street) Punk! The band is still active and they have new CD out called 'Nikad pankera od nas' that you can get by asking on G.U.B. MySpace. Download

Slovenia
diy, 2007?
Old School Punk

(13 tracks, 21 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 34MB)


I don't basically know anything about three piece band
(Hozi-drums., Gajsi-bas, Kep-guitar, vox) - Pogrešana Kvaliteta (Lacking Quality). I believe they are from Koroška region. But even if the recording quality is not WarnerBros type, you can tell PK have really own style of fast and pure Punk, that was played in 80s all over the world. Lyrics are also socially critical as it should be for punx like Pogrešana Kvaliteta. I recommend this as a proof that real punk is still alive and that can be still interesting, no matter how it is pacekd and not/sold.
They also have second CD out under no particular name.
If you wish boys to play at your wedding or funeral or some other occasion,
contact them!

BULLETS IN

BULLETS IN - Conceive 12'',
2005 USA, Waking Records

01 Conceive 2:39 
02 Anthems Erased 2:02 
03 Bullets In 2:30 
04 Leave It Evicted 2:24 
05 Shots Ring Malice 2:49

BULLETS IN - Trashed and burned 7''
2007 USA Adagio830, Waking Records

01 Reeling 2:18 
02 Something Still 1:50 
03 Fifth Column 1:52 
04 Compelled 2:30

BULLETS IN Bullets In creates melodic but furious hardcore of a sort, sadly, not often found in today's scene, coming from USA-Bay area. Sincerely impassioned vocals over explosive yet catchy songs, they combine the best elements of bands like Torches to Rome, Bread and Circuits, early Hot Water Music, and Rites of Spring. If you've lost faith in hardcore, this record will prove that it's not all just meaningless style and fashion. These are one of those records that you might not dig at first listening. But every next round you will hear something new, that will prove how good this band was. Intelligently incorporated guitar sounds make this sound like Mike Kirsch has something to do with it, but as far as I know he doesn't. I personally like the 12'' release a bit more, but both are definitely worth of check. Trashed and Burned 7 inch was printed in only 500 copies. 
There is also an interview with the band included as separate download file (pdf, bmp).

It was released on CD and 12''. 13th song is impro and more as an recital. I guess it was CD bonus track. Very interesting Garage rock with a punk attitude.

Star Sixtynine + Too Fat To SK8 (split)

Star Sixtynine + Too Fat To SK8 (split), 1995 Slovenia Front Rock, 1995 Punk/PunkRock (8 tracks, 16 min, 12''~GTpro~Lame~Mp3@V0, 21MB) Two bands split released at Front Rock, each contributed 4 songs. Star Sixtynine play more 90s melodic punkrock with lyrics in English. Too Fat To Sk8 play more rougher 3 chord punk in Slovene and the recording sound is poorer than Sixtynine side. Part of TFT Sk8 band later formed Course of Instinct. Still very nice, that this was preserved and pressed on plastic in 500 copies only. You can still get this record, by contacting me or here.

I don't know anything about these two bands :/ It was released in 1997, but it could have been recorded sometimes earlier. Schnëlë Fë side is more melodic punk rock, when The Mi side is a bit faster and more garage punk like. The best thing is that you check them by yourself and create your own opinion. Download
