MIDDLE CLASS - OUT OF VOGUE (1978.)

Okay - THIS RECORD WAS WAY AHEAD IT'S TIME! No - caps lock is not accidental! For fuck sake, these guys are fast, lucid, angry and clever in all that! I really need to say thanks again to Dronemful - the guy that forwarded me this band. Thank you men! Okay, I must get a grip - this description is going nowhere, but - I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED ABOUT THIS BAND! (:D)
Okay...
Middle Class, formed in 1976. in Santa Ana, California, were definitely one of the first hardcore punk bands in history. Debate continues to this day as to whether Middle Class were the first hardcore band or if Black Flag or Bad Brains were. (It is unlikely that Bad Brains were aware of the Middle Class, however, as they were unknown outside of California.) Their sound evolved from being a blistering, shouted, arty version of punk which would be extremely influential to the hardcore sound that would emerge in the years following their first release, the 1978 "Out Of Vogue" 7 inch (that I am giving you today). This record featured the title track along with three other songs. I managed even to find lyrics for Out Of Vogue song, that goes like this:

Sounds just an overdub
Hate is just a fashion show
(not sure this one)
The hate it starts and never ends

We dont need we get our fill
Its esoteric overkill
Its a shiny new aesthetic
Get us out of vogue

We dont need your magazines
We dont need you fashion show
We dont need your tv
We dont want to know

We dont need we get our fill
Its esoteric overkill
Its a shiny new aesthetic
Get us out of vogue

And remember - this 7'' record is from 1978.!!

Track list:
1. Out of Vogue
2. You Belong
3. Situations
4. Insurgence

TRN U OKU - vozim svoju trku... (2009.)

The band was formed in 1995., in Zadar (Croatia) and it was first called "Kapula" ("Onions"). Just after the first gig the line up has been changed and at the beginning of 1996. the band also changed its name to "Trn u oku" ("Thorn in the eye"). In the following 3 years the band recorded 2 demos and one studio recording (unsigned), played about 30 gigs and gained many followers all around Croatia. Then, for no particular reason, the band stopped working, but there was always a great wish to play one last show and say goodbye to all of their fans. Fortunately, in 2005. the band realized that they have a lot more left to say, they joined up again and started rehearsing and making new songs. On November 17th, 2007. they played a show in Zadar, the first after 8 years, and it was a total blast, as they said. It was the beginning of the new era of "Trn u oku", what means that band is still active now. Today, I am bringing you their latest release, that was in year 2009, named - "vozim svojim trku..."("I ride my race" (in "racing" context is meaning)), on which are four awesome punk songs full of energy of life!

Track list:
1. ZBRKA (confusion)
2. SUZA (tear)
3. ZAKON ULICE (street law)
4. DRŽ' NE DAJ (hold, do not give)

VA - Kof! kOF! kompilacija vol. 1 (2010.)

Okay... This is a compilation CD, with various artists from all over the world and with many types of punk music, that I had published together with second number of my fanzine Kof!kOF! (on Croatian language is written), in an edition of 50 pieces. No, I didn't ask anyone for permission to put them on the compilation and trust me - I didn't earned any money - I only lost money, but I don't regret it, in fact, I am very glad that I invested my money in this, because seeing happiness on people faces was and still is - priceless. Anyway - here is the track list in picture (that weights 152.83 KB), because I am at this moment, too lazy to type it here. Cheers everyone!

URBAN PHOBIA - DYING GENERATION (2004.)

Urban Phobia was chaos-street punk from Zagreb, Croatia, that was active from beginning of 2004 year, to the end of 2005. In the beginning band was called Mohikan 82, but after the singer and lyric writer called Taliban, came into the band, Mohikan 82 was renamed in Urban Phobia. They have recorded 2 demos, first was much rawer than this second one that I am bringing to you today. I will also later upload their first demo, when their guitar player send me it. This demo - Dying Generation is in better quality, but it is still raw as fuck! Imagine mix of earliest version of Antidote (Netherlands) sound, mixed with even more extremely nihilistic and street punk view of this life and world. Because they were at that time really living their lives like it is described on this demo, this recording is full of honest youth anger and reactions against this apathy and decay of today. It is interesting fact, that they have recorded this demo in studio Kozmo in 14 hours of total effective time, during the few days, because they won in some band contest, that was happening in famous club Močvara in Zagreb, at that time. Band split-up, after few concerts and after less than 2 years, because everyone of them had very big problems in life at that time, so they just went apart. Later their singer and guitar players formed band called Emetophilia. Their second guitarist, Toni Plutonij, told me that he thinks that everyone of them, changed very much after they went apart. Anyway - here is their only live video footage, from their concert in Močvara - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amUN_STDRVc .

1. Chernobyl Intro
2. Chaos in the City

BARKOD - LICE TV-A (2010.)

Barkod (eng. Barcode) is punkrock / streetpunk / hardcore / oi! band from Koprivnica, Croatia. Themes of their songs are from almost typical 'word from the street' to hate against negative aspects of mass media and everything that comes with that, including some darkish introvert thoughts. Mostly of their songs are in Croatian, but there are few also on English language. Lyrics are inside .zip package, so try to translate them with Google Translator, or similar tools, if you are interested in their meaning. Today I am giving you their second cd that they have recorded that is called 'Lice TV-a' (eng. 'TV Face'), that I found on the dirt in front of the entrance of Željezničar club in Koprivnica, where they had promotion of the that new CD release. It is pure miracle, that my CD reader managed to rip this CD in mp3 format. :) Below are track list and of course - a download link. Cheers!

Track list:
1. - Ja nisam lice s TV-a
2. - Stojim sam
3. - Marioneta
4. - Žicanje
5. - Mass media
6. - Tko ste vi?
7. - Svakog dana ista priča
8. - Nikad iz podruma
