Krep recenzije:
Bepop: Boţič Je
Kje je ţe tist cajt. Bepop so bli popularni. Tale
plošček je iz 2004. Menart Records. Izšlo pri DZS
in Dnevnik/Nedeljski. Ma čist tko, fino je blo
poslušat enkrat po dolgmu cajtu cel album pop
glasbe. Pa take priredbice. Ko še nisem kupoval
od Monike CD-jev, mi je blo tole edin, kar nism še
poslušal, pa sm mel doma. Lahk bi dal tud
bilokeri album, k sm ga dol potegnu. Tuji. Pa naj
bo Bepop.
Danny Leiner: Balls Out: The Gary
Houseman Story (2009) (Balls Out:
Gary The Tennis Coach)
En boljših filmov, kar sm jih gledal. Zabavn do daske. Čeprav naj bi mel na IMDB slabo oceno je tip čisti car. Seann William Scott. 1976 letnik. Tko neki drucga kot Ameriška pita.
Jaroslav Hašek: Dobri Vojak Švejk
Prebral vse tri knjige. Ţe mal nazaj. Tm spomlad.
Po moje sm se tud mal smejal zraven, sam se ne
spomnm več dobr. Nedokončana zgodba, čeprav
je v treh knjigah. Pisatelj umru prej al kaj. Švejk je
res ta prav model. Naivno butast in pa iskren.
Pink Floyd
Live San Diego, CA, 1975. Z Youtuba, kjer je
objavljen cel koncert, sam ni video, ampak samo
zvočni posnetek. Ena fotka je dana v video, da je
lahk na Youtube. Wish you were here tur
predvidevam. Ne spomnm se dobr, sam se mi zdi
da igrajo Wish you were here in Shine on you
crazy diamond. Komadi z The Dark side of the
moon tud. Cel album odšpilajo pa še Echoes.
Meddle. 1971. Ja to je bil še cajt. Live at Pompeii.
Ja to je bil cajt. Ne vem jst nism prof fen Pink
Floydov po Obscured by clouds.
Trespassers William

2. 2006, Trespassers William Live At The
Wilmington Arms London 2009. S tega seta sm
odrezal Lie In The Sound za Youtube kanal. 3869
ogledov. Kr kul. Čeprav lih ta komad izpade tko
zlo osladen na tem posnetku. So ostali komadi
boljši, niso tko zlajnani. Čeprav ne poznam
nobenega drugega njihovega komada po naslovu,
pa tud tko ga ne bi prepoznal. To je pa površno
poslušanje…
Cowboy Junkies
Live at The Capitol Theatre, Port Hope iz 2003.
Dvourni po moje. Pa Live at Norfolk 2004. 45
minutni. Po moje ni cel. Tori Amos and Cowboy
Junkies The Philly Radio Sessions Bootleg. Tole
sm po moje sam enkrat poslušal. K sm iskal
komade live za EP s fanzinom. Sm izdal tud EP
Murder Live z 24 minutnim izborom ţivih
posnetkov. Kaj nj rečem. Cowboy Junkies so
zakon.
The White Stripes
Live at The Gold Dollar izšlo 2012. Live on
Bastille Day '97 prav tako letos. Under New
Zealand Lights. Dvojni. Prav tako letos. The Kings
Arms in Freemans Bay Primary School. Je smešn
k on govori mulcom, ne se drogirat, ne pit
alkohola. Daš čistokrven rokenrol za poslušat v
ţivo osnovnošolskim otrokom. Le kaj so misll.
Drgač pa po moje čist precenjen bend. Brat pa
sestra al kaj. Po moje reče, daje njegova sestra.
Ona no bobna k osnovnošolski otrok. Mogoče sm
prestrog. Ni moj najljubši bend no. Dva singla sta
izšla letos od The White Stripes, čeprav naj bi bla
ţe pase. Pa en remix mam od Seven nation army
od The Glitch Mob od lansklet. Sm ga vrtel ţe
večkrat po moje na Undervatarju.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
22. 3. 2011 @ 40 Watt Club. Po 2002 niso izdal
novga albuma. Kolkr se spomnm tega koncerta je
kul. Par hitičov, sam ne poznam po naslovih.
Nism nikol bil prof fen. Do zdaj. 14. 11. 2012 v
Kino Šiška. Čist hud koncert. Sm pol prejle na hitr
zavrtel prvi komad z novga albuma in je bum. Tko
k na koncertu. Je Klemen spoznal prvi komad z
albuma, po moje je bil tud prvi na koncertu.
Morm še enkrat nov album poslušat. No jst sm
uţival, Klemen pa zgleda bl ne. Je hotu oz. šu prej
ven. Tko da sm za njim pršu vn. Pol sva pa še
Roka najdla, k je kinkal tm v veţi… Škoda. Bi mi
čist sedl cel koncert poslušat. Sm vzel dva
lekadola med špilom tko da hrbt in vrat ni bil tko
boleč, čeprav je malo bil. Bolši k Sigur Ros…
Posnel del na telefon. Nadete na
http://archive.org/details/Kp0112-godspeedYouBlackEmperor14.11.2012 .
Sam ni not nobenga tistga šusa. Lajna, k je
Klemen reku, da mu sede. Tisti počasni deli. Men
so bli pa šusi čist hudi. Čeprav so igral kao na
enem tonu. Uroš je šu kr dam po pol koncerta. Je
reku da Godspeedi ne bi smel cel koncert na enem
tonu odigrat. 27 downloadov. No sj gre moja
muska med ljudi… Mogla bi Jovita bit tam. Bi ji
po moje blo všeč. Je rekla gremo spet na SR. Prav
tako kot SR niso rekl cel koncert nč publiki.
Dirty Three
Kot predskupina Godspeedov. Me niso čist nč
navdušl. Brez veze. Tip je bil čist naspidiran. Po
moje čist na drogi. Se jih spomnm iz K4 tm 1998
al 1999. So bli bl počasni. Tuki pa kr hud šus. Sam

"Great solo 7‖ from Animal Collective founding
member Panda Bear. Limited edition of only 350
for the UK and Eire.One of a four part 7‖ series to
be released on various labels, and eventually
collated as a Paw Tracks album in early 2011. The
other 7‖s in the series to have been released so far
have sold out within weeks of pre-orders
announced. This is Panda Bear‘s first solo offering
since 2007‘s acclaimed ‗Person Pitch‘ album.
Animal Collective‘s profile has been steadily
rising, and has hit its highest peak yet since the
release of their much-adored ‗Merriweather Post
Pavillion‘
album in 2009."

After his self-titled debut of 2009, True Life / In
Flames is the second album by Berlin-based
Christian Naujoks. Recorded by Tobias Levin at
the Laiszhalle Philharmony Hamburg. A dense
concert atmosphere sets the tone. Stringent
seriality is combined with a romanticism of the
minor key which one also finds in a certain corner
of modern 20th-century piano music, in the vein
of Michael Nyman, Wim Mertens, Arvo Pärt,
John Cage and György Kurtág. Deep
contemplation and solemn expression paired with
intellectual clarity. Each note has weight, and
every sound a purpose. Unlike Naujoks' debut,
True Life / In Flames completely relinquishes the
use of any sort of electronically-generated sound.
Instead, there is a consistent stylization of what
one might call "organic sound." The figure of the
bedroom producer is relieved here by that of the
composer and pianist. There's a piano, played by
Naujoks; there's the marimba of Martin Krause
and then Naujoks' voice. This album could be
designated as a suite with various movements,
bracketed by the conspicuous reprise of its most
song-like piece, "Moments I" and "Moments II,"
as well as by the economy of the unchanging
instrumentation and the black and white cover
photograph by Dirk Stewen that references the
recording location: the Laeiszhalle of the
Hamburg Philharmonic. Piano and marimba
stand there on an almost cave-like stage,
surrounded by music stands, microphones and
stacked Egon Eiermann SE 68 SU chairs — a
company of genuine instruments. Again,
Christian Naujoks embraces the world of
contemporary music-loving connaisseurs. True
Life / In Flames is a gift for all those hunting the
unique, the deep, the outstanding. All's quiet at
the beginning, as it is at the end.

Intervju s francoskim hard core bendom Strong As Ten Hi. You played last on Hellfest. How was it like? Hi Matej ! So yeah we played at Hellfest this year and to be honest it was cool. It was an opportunity for us to see some bands we really like for free :) . But just to be clear, Hellfest was not a goal for us. We still are a DIY band, we still play in squats, for benefit shows, we are more and less active in the scene (like organizing shows in our area even if it‘s more and more difficult) etc.... It was kinda surrealistic for us to be there. But also it was an occasion to see how things go on in this kind of huge fest and it was worse to see. Can you say something about Strong As Ten? When did you start? Where are you from? SA10 did start in the early 2000s. We first played a sort of NYHC. At this time, we were into this kind of music (still today but not that much). I‘m the only original member, I‘m in from the very beginning and I could notice the differences between the beginning and now. Fab (the drummer) joined the band in 2003 or 2004. He was capable to play fast beats which was not the case of our previous drummer. That‘s why we‘ve decided to play some kind of fast/crossover music, something with blast beats. We all did enjoy it, we cover bands like Infest, later Nuclear Assault, S.O.D. and so on. Then Jojo (guitar player) joined us (first on bass) and finally Xtelle (from the band The Sioux) these last months. We are all from the same area. We know each other from high school (almost). We‘re a bunch of good friends and this is very important to us. It‘s not only about music, it goes beyond. SA10 changed his line-up quite a lot but we‘re still linked to each other. We all live in Metz (North East part of France) which is a city where there‘s not much things to do. How are you pleased with the reception of No Redemption For The Kids?
Pretty pleased. If I‘m not mistaken, the record is almost sold out. I really do like this record, I mean gathering all these french bands was just great. It‘s a kind of testimony even if there are some really extra french bands who are not on this comp (Idiot Talk, Gasmask Terror, Youth Avoiders and so many more). The object is also really cool. From the artwork to the booklet inside, we are kind of proud to be on it. I really do hope people will be more interested in the french scene thanks to this record. Can you name all labels your work came out on? Wow, tough one. Most of our records were released thanks to loads of labels (something like 6 or 7). It‘s more and more common nowadays. In a way, it‘s far easier to release a record when you know you can count on a lot of friends to put some money and energy in it. Releasing a record is expensive, so it‘s more than ok if you wanna share the costs. I think it‘s what punk HxC is about : helping each other. However, I would like to talk about a label called Shogun recs runs by a really cool fellow (Phil) who runs also an extra cool distro: Burnout. This guy released our second EP (the first one was a split with Shallnotkill, a french band), and also the last one which is about to be out in few weeks. He put some trust in us and we‘re very thankful for everything he has done for us so far. What can you say about Krapnek? Extra band and upper duper extra fellows. We went on tour with them and it was such a pleasure. We shared also the bill on many occasion. Musically it was a mix between crust and death metal. One of the best band I ever played with SA10. And they are just great, all of the members are so nice and it‘s always such a pleasure to meet them here or there. Some of the members have a new project called Uhl. Check it out dude, you won‘t regret (I think they toured last year in the Balkans). Do you know Arnold Vadoc, nocturnomotoculto, whenthedeaddietwice, tarantinovanessa, la fille aux ciseaux !, xFuckThatx, Remite, Ispitonyourgrave and An act of revenge.? Ahah what a name dropping. Obviously you‘ve found all these names on Youtube right? I can only speak for when the dead die twice because... it‘s me ! That‘s how my (small) label is called (only 3 coproductions so far). I like to videotape gigs in our area and putting ‗em on Youtube, it‘s also a kind of testimony (I mentioned in the third question). Usually I used to record bands I like (most of the time during shows I did organise) and put everything on line. Of course I ask the band first if I can use what I taped but usually there‘s no problem.
Who directed We come, we thrash, we go? I did. All the footages are from our English tour in 2006 or something. I tried to match music and video that‘s why images are kinda «fast» , frantic. It‘s exactly how I consider our music : fast, no slow parts, always on the run ahah . It was also a good opportunity to make something to remember. Kind of memories of great times we spend together (well, most of the time). Can you say something about Not Alright video? This video was made by a friend of ours. He used to do this kind of video, he made some for the Austrasian Goat (french one man band) and Devilish Cheat (Metz all star band). It was a good surprise for us cuz we didn‘t ask anything I mean he was totally free to do everything he wants. It‘s cool to see how people get our music. For him, obviously, our music is made for dancing in a very odd way and a bizarre haircut ahah. What do you think about Songkick and Flickr? Well I don‘t really have any opinion on it. The only thing I can say is I don‘t use it. To be totally honest, I don‘t even know what is all about. What is trashcore? Well I can‘t say a lot about trashcore but I can try to explain what thrashcore is :) . It‘s basically a mix between hardcore and thrash metal like the early Municipal Waste. I don‘t really like this word. It‘s like you have to put the word «core» on everything and that‘s it. For me, there‘s thrash metal and there‘s hardcore. If you mix both, it‘s basically crossover. I‘d rather use this term. i think it‘s better like this. Talking about SA10, I like to think we‘re too metal to be strictly a punk band but too punk to be a metal band. For most of us, our background is linked with metal (I started to be in music thanks to bands like Iron Maiden, the early Metallica and so on) , so i guess it‘s something you‘ll find on our music (in a really small amount however). Why do you like vinyl? Well for me, punk HxC means vinyl and vinyls are punk HxC. I would add that not only vinyls, we also like tapes. We would like to release our discography on tape, we talk about it for a while now. Vinyls with tapes were the first «physical objects» connected with punk HxC. At this time, there were no CD‘s or files to download. If you were into this kind of music, vinyls were a part of your life. You were waiting for the object. It‘s a kind of «romantic vision». I mean , nowadays, you can get almost any music you want thanks to Internet, you‘ll consume it and that‘s it. And I won‘t talk about the fact you‘ll have no lyrics, no info sheets or anything else. I like also vinyls because of the sound. It‘s a kind of «warm»
sound, quite hard to explain but if you‘re into vinyls you probably know what I mean. What can you say about Koenigstein Youth and Lost Boys? Two really extra bands and good friends. We have shared bills so many times and it was always such a pleasure. We have also two splits 7‘‘ with them. Lost Boys unfortunately split up few month ago. They did a kind of old style punk in the vein of Circle Jerks. They did it very well. They got few records, if you don‘t know this band you‘d better check it out asap! Koenigstein Youth is a band from Saint Etienne and good fellows. We went on tour twice with them, it was really funny. I really do like these guys. Thrash (singer) is really active into the french scene (doing shows, running a label and so on...) and a really nice dude. They play a kind of political fast HxC with great lyrics sung in french. They deal with prison issues, globalization and so on... . They got 2 records if I‘m not mistaken.
Why New York style? We started playing a kind of NYHC style cuz it‘s something we used to listen at this time. To be honest, I think that this genre was one of the best in the HxC punk history. You can find so many great bands linked with this scene (to name few Judge, SOIA, the first album of Leeway which is a masterpiece, YOT...). Musically this scene was really badass, but for the attitude it‘s pretty different. I can‘t (couldn‘t) stand for something which deals with violence and so on. it‘s maybe «cool» when you‘re 20 and full of anger and rage for any reason but not for me anymore. I did realise also that some of the lyrics in this scene deal with betrayal, backstabbing and so on and I think it‘s kinda pretty boring. There will be a song on this subject on our last record. So stay tuned. Are you interested in releasing an EP for my fanzine release? It's mini CD-R in mini DVD case. Absolutely no problem. Anytime. We‘re more than interested in collaborating with people from all over the world. That‘s what punk Hardcore should be right? It would be absolutely great if we could get some copies of it. What are your lyrics about. Do you sing in french too? Our lyrics deal with loads of things from my love for thrash metal, fashion in punk HxC, zombies... to more serious subjects like NATO, TV and other craps, living your life to the fullest and so on.
However, I always try to put some fun in my lyrics, It‘s something very important to me. All of our lyrics are in english except Nikada Vise, a song sung in serb. More and more I think about the opportunity to sing in french. In the near future, I guess it will happen. Do you remember a gig in Kranj? How many times have you been in Slovenia? Hell yeah, I do remember this gig. it was the last gig of our tour with Krapnek. We played in this huge area with an old pool, situated in a really cool location. I do remember also the turnout was pretty low but it was a night to remember. We had a lot of fun, people were outstanding. It was our first time in Slovenia, we played two times then (Kranj and Dravograd). We went to Slovenia again a year after (Dravograd again) thanks to our mates of Mladina Kina. It was a night to remember too : it was crazy, we all were in a flat with a skate spot, sweating just like if we were in hell. Absolutely great.
Do you know any bands from Slovenia? Unfortunately not that much. I know Mladina Kina cuz we‘re friends with some of them. I was supposed to put a gig for them in my area but unfortunately they had to cancel. What about your home town. Any good bands? Some labels? Well the situation here is not really good. There‘s no venue where to organise shows (I used to move 70kms away to have a descent venue where to organise gigs), the turnout is quite low (I‘m talking about the punk HxC scene). In my opinion, there are only few good punk HxC bands here. You can find The Sioux with Fab and Jojo, DCA (a band in the vain of Madball, with a lot of beatdown, well done) and that‘s it. Concerning labels, I‘ll mention Farce attack (not really from this town), bunch of kids who are really active. And basically that‘s it for me.
What is the crowd in France different from the one from Slovenia? Well the main difference is the crowd in France speaks french and the crowd in Slovenia speaks slovenian ahah. No, to be honest we played only three times in Slovenia and dozen and dozen of times in French so it‘s hard to compare. But basically , I‘d say that kids in Slovenia are more dedicated and passionate. But we played two times in front of friends so maybe it was just thanks to them, I don‘t know. We definitely should come over again. Could you organise something for us? :) What do you think about Pussy Riot? I don‘t really know what to think about it. In my opinion, punk is about politic and it‘s more than ok to use it to stand against something (in this case, against the russian government). In this case, I‘m totally for it, even playing in a church (even if the sound should be awful :) ). BUT what stroke me it that almost the whole world (politics, media, «artists», journalists from the West) was suddenly «aware» of this kind of problems. The fact is, all over this planet, you can find bands in jail because of some lyrics, punk activists in danger only because they don‘t fit in the society where they live in. In Indonesia for example, you can go to camps to be «re-educate» because you‘re a punk. Nobody seems to give a rat‘s ass to these people cuz it‘s not in western interests to do something for them. I‘m very doubtful when a «punk» band gets some support from politicians (no matter where they‘re from). Will you share a lyric with us? Well these lyrics will be on our next EP. The song is called «Is this reality? Is this me?» It will never come to an end, it seems it will never stop This pressure is killing me, a situation I canʼt cope with Gotta make a move, by all costs escape this daily grind But every fucking dayʼs the same, Iʼm gonna lose my mind Another day goes by but my future still doesnʼt look bright Depression, sorrow and no reliefs in sight Alternatives no more, try to make a change But every fucking effort I make is leaving me out of breath Is this reality or itʼs only me? This is basically how I feel at this very moment. What do you have to say to our readers in Slovenia? Don‘t hesitate to send us a mail to say hello or to ask for anything. Hardcore is about communication. If we come to Slovenia again,
don‘t hesitate to show up and speak with us, we‘re always more than happy to meet new people. Just keep on being crazy at shows. And a special xtra big thank for our friends in Dravograd and for you Matej. I hope we‘ll have the opportunity to see each other. All the best ! And don‘t forget : «Have a good time, all the time».
Intervju s francoskim bendom
Sonic Angels
Hey Matej! Very sorry to make you wait, but here
it is... We just passed this weekend with the
Subsonics from Atlanta and played with them at
the Subsonic! And of course were little bit busy
again...let me know if it's ok for you, thanks for
your interest! Bye from Marc
Why Sonic Angels?
Well...we wanted to be good, I mean in good
waves, just wanted to have fun doing rock and roll
and sharing our points of view traveling around;
that what the angels do right? and of course it's all
about sound!
You're from France, but you sing in
english. How come?
Rock and roll almost always came to us in english
, I think it's a big part of it, and it's a way to talk to
many more people; we dont feel particuraly
french and love to play everywhere we can; "rock"
and "roll" are already english words no?
Are you an international band?
What do you mean? Of course we are!
Berlin and Madrid are two cities where we've
been playing many times, we've already been
touring everywhere in europe, up to north
Sweden, Serbia, Poland, Greece...and also Mexico
and United States.
How many times have you been in
Slovenia? Do you remember last time?
I'm notsure if it's three or four time but I perfectly
remember last time! We had a big crash with our
van on the highway around Ljubljana on the way
to Varazdin ... The only one time such a thing like
that happen to us! By chance nobody get really
hurt and our instruments were quite ok with
pieces of broken windscreen everywhere...we
stayed at Metelkowa at our friend Sacho place
where we played twice, he was very nice but we
were all so chocked that we drunk a lot! I almost
killed myself a second time falling down on the
stage from the first floor...! A friend came from
france with another van to take us back home and
after a two weeks rest I decided to return to check
out my destroyed van so I stayed one week again
in Metelkowa "repairing" it and everybody had
been really cool again there! And this van bring us
on tour again to England and Holland few weeks
after.
Many people share your videos on Youtube. Do
you know them?
Is there an official video from Sonic Angels out
there?
Maybe not, we put some of them on
reverbnation.com/sonicangels.
On 12th this month you were playing inn
London. How was it?
Awesome, I mean for what I know about playing
in London...
We had four gigs and pretty good weather having
fun with good friends, the first gig was at The
Dublin Castle in Camdem town with 3 more
bands but not so many people, then the Trash bar
in Hackney, really cool punk rock place and good
party, then the Dusk Till Dawn with an italian
band and the Ryan's bar where we played with
Atomic Suplex and with our friends The Ricky C
Quartet.
Can you say something about global sixties
revival scene?
Well..everybody want to play boogaloo now,
having party with easy simple rhythm and dirty or
garage sound, I think it's cool by the way, but I
dont like too much fashions things and we keep
going with Sonic Angels sound!
On Bandcamp you sell your music. Did you
earn something?
Of course no! Maybe one day! I think it's more a
promotion tool, a page where you can check out
our production.
Which were more influental for you.
Sixties or seventies?
Both are strong influences and fit so well
together...maybe I'm more in the seventies side
and Sylvie in the sixties side.
Can you name five bands from France that
play the same music style as you?
From what I know nobody else in France play the
music we do but I can name you five good bands
from France we like to play with : Introverted
Violence, The Magnetix, Flying Over, Marvin, Ofo
Am. You can find them on the web.
What is the current lineup? Did you have
some problems with drum players?
Today Sonic Angels are Sylvie Martin on bass and
vocal, Stéphane Doucerain on drums and Marc
Hacquet on guitar and vocal. It's true that we had
many different drummers in the band, even
sometimes two drums on stage; drums are quite
hard to play and very important in a rock and roll
band and we really toured a lot these last years,
rock and roll is not always the only one thing in
life and everybody cant always be disponible so
it's cool for us to have different possible line.
You don't have a Last.fm description.
Why?
I dont know, maybe to much vintage sound for
FM; in fact I dont know what is Last.fm!
Who is responsible for promotion?
We almost do everything by ourself, I mean all we
can do, promotion, booking, recording, driving,
design and many more!
Are Marc and Sylvie a couple?
Yes ! We met us together in the eighties, went to
live in Madrid and latter started Sonic Angels in
2005 with our friends Pascale and Elodie on
drums.
Were Dead Moon a huge influence for you?
Not really, but they are a perfect exemple of rock
and roll couple and I'm proud when people say we
make think of them.
Do you know croatian band The Spoons?
No, not yet, I will check out.
Can you say something about Speed
Records?
Speed Rcds is our own label and recording studio
too, we start it in spain in the middle nineties
where we were living at this time, I was doing
mainly live recording and since 2001, based at the
Subsonic in Montpellier, I recorded more than
300 bands; unfortunatly we dont have enough
money to put out many records, and we want to
stay in a non profit attitude.
Was it hard to get a record deal?
We still are looking for one! Do you have any
idea?
What will your next release be?
We are about to put out a new 7 inch with four
songs we recorded this last summer called
"Hungry man".
Can you say something about Subsonic?
Subsonic is the place to rock in Montpellier! with
rehearsal rooms, live recording room,
merchandising and distro place, bar...More than
one hundred bands from our area are coming to
practice there; we start the project comming back
from spain and it's quite a big job now and take a
lot of time.
When are you gonna come back to
Slovenia?
We hope to come back soon, dont really know
when, we plan to tour again in United states in
march, maybe after that, and I'm sure it will be
fun!
Do you remember Viva La Pola! 2005?
Oh yeah! We drove all the way from Serbia and
played very late the same day, right after a hard
rain... Does it still exist?
Thanx.
Intervju s češkim HC bendom
Festa Desperato
What does Festa Desperato mean?
Paaya: It‘s an incorrect Latin translation. It
should mean something like „Celebration of
desperation―. Punk shows and activities are
actually some kind of a celebration of
desperation-we are obsessed with the shit of
this world, we scream out angry lyrics and we
actually enjoy doing this and we protect our
mental health by doing so. Such a paradox.
Some time later we‘ve started understanding
the name also in connection to booze and other
forms of escapism.
Can you say something about the history
of the band?
Paaya: The band was basically founded by our
first vocalist Mirek (he also runs Ultima Ratio
label/distro). In summer 2002 he caught up
with me and also Vápno (our drummer) and
with our original bass player Kamil. These two
used to play together in a punk rock band called
RAZIE. We wanted to play fast and noisy
hardcore with meaningful lyrics. We didn‘t even
much know how to do it. We simply created
some spontaneous chaos, a mixture of music
that we listened to ourselves and how we
imagined that raw punk should sound like. It
was quite wild, there actually wasn‘t any really
fast band in Brno in that time. We recorded and
released a demo tape called „Prvnich...― After a
year Marek joined us for 2nd guitar and we
recorded another demo – 12 songs within less
than 9 minutes. It has remained unreleased
until now. We never played that much outside
of Czech and Slovakia. The only proper tour was
in winter 2004 together with S.I.K.A. from
Bratislava – Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia
and Italy. After this tour Mirek left the band
after some stupid quarrels and shortly after him
also Kamil was told to leave. MateSS and
Miruus came to their places. The period of
2004-2006 was very rich, we recorded another
demo (later reissued as a 7― EP) and our first 7―
vinyl, we played quite many shows and
practiced regularly. Then things started going
down the drain, 2008 was totally shitty and
most of us had some bigger or smaller personal
problems for which the band couldn‘t have
worked properly. For two years we actually had
no drummer and were unable to find a new one.
In the meantime we would practice the same
old songs every once in two months until we
finally recorded them with a guest drummer
(Tom from RISPOSTA) and were ready to quit
the band for good. Then our original drummer
Vápno comes to HELLSHOCK concert and says
„I heard you guys were looking for a drummer?―
So we tried it again, we played a couple of
shows, made some new songs (in my opinion
some of the best ones we‘ve ever done) but
we‗ve never managed to get back to the original
form, at least when it comes to the enthusiasm,
practicing... Therefore we‘ve called it quits in
spring 2012, provided that we would record our
latest songs in August.
Did you record those last songs in August? Who was the drummer? When will it be released? And where? Paaya: Yeah, it was exhausting, but we
managed. One month before the recording our
drummer had dropped it so we had to quickly
teach all the songs to Gusta (otherwise
drummer for some local bands like S.U.M.O.,
KORUBO, COREBASTARDS etc.) and he
managed perfectly – thanks a lot once again!
Our vocalist MateSS wouldn‘t come to the
studio at all in the end (I still haven‘t
understood why), so we had to improvise in this
and do it a bit „Beatles-style―: every one of us
made vocals to a part of the songs. Surprisingly
enough, I find the result damn good. If all
works out fine, we‘d like to release the
recording by the beginning of 2013 as a 7― EP
called „Alergie―. By ourselves. It makes no sense
to involve other people in the release if we‘re
able to do it ourselves (both Marek and Miruus
have small DIY labels/distros and I will also
pretend that I have one, just for the sake of this
record, haha). Moreover, in case of a dead band
that doesn‘t play any shows anymore – like FD
– releasing a vinyl is a very tricky investment
and I don‘t find it fair to cast the risk on anyone
else so that they remain with boxes of unsold
records in the end. The pressing will be very
small, about 300 copies.
Can you say something about
FTWPRAHA?
Paaya: Not at all... If you wouldn‘t have asked
about them and I wouldn‘t search for the name
at Google I wouldn‘t even know that such a
website exists. I follow Periferia.cz and
Czechcore.cz quite regularly, once upon a time I
check Kidsandheroes.com or sometimes
Punk.cz if I want to have a laugh. That‘s it.
Internet punk is not my life.
Do you know Alcoholocrust, Lakme666, rozbojniczka666, disgustedjohn and lahvotekk that are sharing your videos on Youtube? Miruus: No, I have absolutely no idea who they are in reality.... Paaya: Yeah, I know who hides behind most of
these usernames. Is it important?
What do you think about Anti-Commerce
blog that is sharing your EP?
Paaya: Yeah, I know about it. I don‘t care
much. Even though it would have been nice
from the guy to ask our permission. I honestly
don‘t think that releasing DIY records in
minimal numbers of copies and selling them for
a price that barely pays back your costs, can be
called commerce, on the other hand I admit
that there are many countries in the world
where people can hardly find any other way of
getting music than downloading it and I do not
find it fair to expect punks from Indonesia,
Macedonia or Chile to order vinyls that mean
much more of an expense for their pockets than
they do for ours.
What do you think about Last.fm as a
substitute to Facebook and Myspace?
Paaya: Just about the same as I think about
TOP 09 as a substitute for ODS and CSSD (most
powerful Czech political parties). Same bullshit
under a different name. I couldn‘t care less
about what websites people use for wasting
their time. That‘s not my world.
Miruus: I really would like to write more, but I
don‘t care, sorry.
Can you say something about Disclose?
Miruus: It‘s been my favourite band since I
was 17. I don‘t like the whole disbeat self-
parody attitude, but DISCLOSE are still OK for
me, I‘m gonna play them today.
Paaya: Their early discography tape that once
came out on Insane Society Recs. was –
together with MRTVA BUDOUCNOST tape –
my first really noisy recording I bought, so I
definitely have positive attitude to that band.
When I later first heard DISCHARGE – „Hear
nothing...― I was disappointed because
DISCLOSE had made me used to a totally
different level of noise. „Conquest― is a great
song, just that when we played it as a cover
some people used to have a funny habit of
starting fights after it, haha. That DISCLOSE
mania after Kawakami‘s death seemed a bit
stupid to me, especially that for many years not
many people were actually interested in
DISCLOSE over here. But that‘s life...
What is/was your style? Fastcore, crust?
Paaya: Fastcore surely not, crust maybe
partially yes. For me it was simply noisy, fast,
pissed and raw hardcore punk. Let the
reviewers bother with details.
What was the reception of Psi Vatikánu
like?
Paaya: Well as far as I know, reviews in zines
and in the Internet were generally positive. But
I don‘t think it sold many copies, though it‘s no
wonder as we only played some 7 shows since
its release. I think it‘s a good record.
Can you say something about Cheeky
Distribution?
Paaya: I don‘t know much about them. I think
it‘s a guy from central/eastern Slovakia who
copies punk videos. I only know that he offers
that live DVD of FD, BETON and HIPPIE
KILLER from Spisska Nova Ves from 2006.
That was a crazy show. Probably the funniest
thing about it was the final fight between these
macho hooligans from Poprad and this huge
lumberjack sound guy. But you can‘t find that
on the video. Otherwise the concert was pure
shit, music-wise. Well, punk rock...
What is GZ Vinyl?
Paaya: It‘s a vinyl record pressing plant near
Prague, one of the biggest ones (the biggest
one?) in the world. Bands from all over the
world press their records there, from DIY bands
to world-famous pop stars. Most Czech bands
(including FD) press their records there
(logically – quality is great and shipping is
cheap). If you were interested, small labels
often find it better to get in touch with
mediators such as Pirates Press or xVinylx –
they mostly get better prices than you could get
from the pressing plant directly, moreover they
are people more or less connected to hc/punk
scene and they know how things work. But it is
not the only pressing plant in Europe so stay
calm...
What is Czech crust scene like? Can you
name some of the bands?
Paaya: I‘ve had the feeling that recent Czech
crust is mostly uninteresting and empty. Both
musically and content-wise. To put it a bit
simplified, I understand crust as some kind of a
direct continuation of anarchopunk, just darker,
filthier and heavier. Contemporary crust in
Czech reminds me often rather of some village
pogo metal. Both by music and by people‘s
attitude. To name some better ones... I like
RISPOSTA, EVIDENCE SMRTI, HOW LONG?
and S.U.M.O. a lot. A little bit less but still I like
FEAR OF EXTINCTION, TOMORROW‘S HELL
or POLTERGEIST. I heard a lot of good words
about KUTYA HARAP but haven‘t had the
chance to see them live yet. Otherwise I really
like some older bands from 1990‘s and 2000‘s,
such as LIES & DISTRUST, DREAD 101, V.I.R.,
KORUBO, BASTO, GUIDED CRADLE... Also
MASS GENOCIDE PROCESS used to be nice
when they had a good day.
Miruus: As for Czech crust my most favourite
bands are already dead (DREAD101, MASS
GENOCIDE PROCESS, V.I.R.) but there are
some good bands today like KRÜGER, FEAR
OF EXTINCTION, TOMORROW‘S HELL or I
should also mention veterans HOW LONG?.
Most bands think they play crust, but in reality
it‘s bad death metal or „Wolfbrigade for poor―,
often with empty lyrics and/or bullshit attitude.
What is the music scene in Brno like?
Paaya: Well I guess you‘re asking about
underground punk/hc – I don‘t know much
about other music scenes because they do not
interest me. A positive thing about Brno is that
there are lots of more or less interesting bands
and also several freaks who keep on drawing
great bands from outside to play shows here.
Even when it comes to some kind of
infrastructure or background, it‘s not bad.
Many things are not perfect and work only
thanks to the indulgence and effort of a few
enthusiastic people who still have enough
power to struggle with obstacles and ignorance.
But the result is that in spite of all that Brno still
has lots of activities that are everything but a
matter of course. I would appreciate more
enthusiasm, more ability to distinguish what
matters (radical ideas, creative activities,
authenticity...) and what does not (image,
number of Facebook friends, booze...) but I
might just be expecting too much from people. I
should be thankful for what we have. Next year
everything can be gone. If you‘re interested in
something particular you should find „Spalte
Brno na prach― compilation LP from 2008 or its
sequel called „Brno stále v plamenech― that will
be released in December 2012!
What D.I.Y. labels do you have?
Paaya: You mean in Brno? As for real
labels/distros I can think of four. Voltage
Records is the youngest one of them (since
2009) but very active. MAD PIGS vocalist
Martino runs it and he also runs a regular
record shop with lost of great records, mostly
for pretty fair prices. He has recently
(re)released for instance SEE YOU IN HELL,
CRUDE SS, ACIDEZ, DISARM, SVART
FRAMTID, TOTAL CHAOS, EVACUATE and
others (www.voltage-shop.com) Papagájův
Hlasatel Records has been active since 1990‘s
and in the last years it went professional (i.e.
from an expensive hobby it turned into a means
of living – similarly to Voltage Records) and
they‘ve recently been releasing one record after
another – mostly punk rock, both local and
international (check their website, it‘s too much
to list – www.phr.cz) Miruus from FD has his
own Miruus Levyt label – he‘ll probably tell you
more himself. Our original vocalist Mirek has
(or had) a label/distro called Ultima Ratio,
which once used to release awesome records of
both local and foreign bands, mostly quite
obscure, but really interesting, moreover very
well made. In the last years he‘s been going
through some stagnation, which is a shame. I
don‘t mention any more labels because they‘re
rather individuals who contribute financially to
their friends‗ releases in cooperation with other
labels, but they are not real labels in the proper
meaning of the word (Hluboká Orba,
Refugiado, Ultra Doom Taliban atd.) Yeah and
our guitarist Marek runs a label/distro Gasmask
Records (www.maskcontrol.com) - lately quite
active, mostly releasing dirty and raw
hardcore/punk (DROPEND, VIIMEINEN
KOLONNA, FATUM, DISTRESS, DAŢD,
LEBENDEN TOTEN etc.)
Miruus: I have a small label called Miruus
Levyt (www.miruuslevyt.cz), I try to release
some raw, angry and loud protest
hardcore/crust. Since I‘m more or less skint I
do it mostly in label cooperation or for my own
bands… But next year I‘ll probably release some
7― or flexi of any yet unknown band. I‘m also
waiting for MASS GENOCIDE PROCESS LP,
„Brno stále v plamenech― compilation LP and
prepare a new issue of my zine called Smrt.
Why have you abandoned Myspace?
Paaya: Well one thing is that Myspace got
technically so fucked up and it stopped making
sense using it, as half of its features worked
slowly or not at all. Another thing is that none
of us really enjoy Myspace, Facebook and
similar social networks. They distract attention
from real things towards virtual crap. If
someone is really interested they will surely
make the effort to find us even outside some
cop-like network.
Miruus: I ask myself why did we join Myspace
at all.
How many downloads did you list on 4
Shared?
Miruus: I‘m very sorry, but I have almost
nothing to say about our virtual presentations,
mp3 downloading, „social― networks etc. Please
burn all computers.
Paaya: On what???
What do you think about 18.057?
Paaya: About what???
Why are you vegans?
Paaya: The term „vegan― is not really exact in
my case and it doesn‘t even matter to me. I eat
vegan most of the time, with the exception of
honey that I don‘t mind, but I have no problem
to swallow vegetarian non-vegan food that
would otherwise end up in garbage (or that has
already been taken out from there). What is so
pathetically being called livestock production,
this industrial slaughter, is one of the biggest
atrocities of our civilization while it – just as a
lot of other shit – depends only on support or
rejection from its consumers.
Miruus: I couldn‘t say that I‘m vegan.
Sometimes I eat some shit with cheese or ice
cream where there is milk, but mostly only
when I have really bad hangover or when I
haven‘t eaten anything for a long time.
Fortunately it does not happen very often. The
rest of the time I don‘t use it, because I don‘t
need it. Well the answer to your question could
be a question too: Why not? I only respect the
animals‗ lives and refuse the whole meat
industry, that‘s all.
What do you think about Pussy Riot?
Miruus: I was a fan of Voina, it was more close
to me, but I respect them too. Of course there is
a big media campaign around it, but this entire
circus shows how fucked up Russian regime and
church are. But never mind, the Czech level of
„arrogance of power― is not so far away.
Paaya: The girls consciously provoked a
sleeping monster and if they were not stupid
they probably must have guessed that it could
end up bad. But maybe they got smacked harder
than they expected. It‘s more than clear that the
issue was not any affront to anyone‘s religious
feelings but them daring to point at the
connection between secular power and power of
the keys in Russia. It‘s funny to watch how it
suits some public figures‗ books to have the
chance to point at what a non-democratic and
reactionary monster Russia is and thus distract
attention from their own regional affairs.
However, PR have my respect and I hold my
fingers crossed for them. But these things
happen also in seemingly democratic states –
this should not be forgotten.
When was your last show. In 2010? What
was it like?
Miruus: No, it was March 2012, during the
way from a gig, in a dark forest, sitting in a car
we agreed on our death. The gig was pretty nice,
even though I forgot my bassguitar there.
Paaya: No, I just haven‘t updated the English
version of the website since 2010, haha! We
played our last show in spring 2012 in Vysoke
Myto with BEARTRAP (USA), WITCH CULT
(UK), STOLEN LIVES and MORROW. There
were about 30 people in the audience, the
sound was resonating from the opposite
climbing wall and high ceiling and no one
danced. Foreign bands played great. On the way
back we agreed to call it quits amidst dark
Moravian forests sitting in a freezing car.
Are there some new bands from
members of Festa Desperato?
Paaya: Officially not yet, but some plans are
being made already! Give me some more time!
Miruus: I plan to have a new band, more raw
punk, but I will see if it works. I also play in
RISPOSTA.
NOT PART OF THE INTERVIEW, I SUPPOSE:
Can I release some of your lyrics?
Of course!
Would you be interested in releasing a
limited edition mini CD-R with my
fanzine?
Why not! It depends how do you imagine that.
Let me know what your idea is!
