ROKERI S MORAVU (Ser) - Rokeri s moravu , lp 1978

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..surprised??
-----------------------------------------------
Well,count it as a joke-post..
In fact,this is one of the most popular "folk" bands in the ex-Yugoslavia,but actually they were the parody of folk music.Their first lp contains probably their biggest hits,and RSM were known as cult entertainers mixing folk music with disco or reggae rhythms or playing folk music with absurdly ridiculous lyrics..until the tragic death of one of them (the deep voice on the album,the purple dressed guy with the radio).Then the band continued as a trio,but never gained success like before.
The tracks on this albums were also released on 5 singles,all of them containing two songs,which makes all ten tracks from it.
And I repeat,it is a joke-post,it is not even perfectly ripped from the vinyl,so take it on your own risk..

Tracks:
01.Stojadinka ovce sisa
02.Mali Miloica
03.Ziv ti ja
04.Bosiljka
05.Milojko
06.Corbast pasulj volem
07.Turio Ljubis pivo da se ladi
08.Rokersko kolo
09.Raste korov oko plota
10.Milka

APARTMAN 69 (Ser) - Seti se moje pesme , lp 1983

Another Mel`s golden post,one of the forgotten albums of the Yugoslavian Hard Rock.The band is active today under the name Kraljevski Apartman,this album is from their (ancient) beginnings,and it sounds just like that.But this is a great document of the ex-Yu Hard Rock scene.In a way,comparable with early Atomsko Skloniste,early Bijelo Dugme,early Riblja Corba,and the harder tracks by Yu-Grupa.For the collectors!

Tracks:
01.Vesnine jesenje kise
02.Seti se moje pesme
03.Budim se
04.Secanje no.1
05.Lazes me,Ana
06.Ama,ti si ona ista
07.Secanje no.2
08.Apartman 69

FEELING (Cro) - Feeling , cd 1993

Now I am beginning a couple of very interesting and rare posts with stuff posted to me by my dear friend and contributor Mel from Germany,the guy who runs the Croatian Heavy Metal History website.
The first post concerns a band that existed for just a few years,and haven`t had a noticeable success,but gave to the Croatian pop scene an excellent singer,Giuliano.Well,as my friend Mel told me,it is strange how someone said that this is Heavy Metal..This may be a Poppy Hard Rock,but not Heavy Metal..Maybe,I can compare them with the serbian band Kerber..Anyway,if you like a totally melodic,almost mainstream Rock,this one`s for you.I know that many people of the ex-Yu territory will want to hear how Giuliano sounded as a rocker..

Tracks:
01.Sama
02.Kao nekada
03.Vatra
04.Bez tebe
05.Ponekad pozelim
06.Duboka noc
07.Pozvoni
08.Zagrli me
09.Zvona tuge
10.Zvijezde

ANTITOPLES (Cro) - Rehearsal 2008

Allright,all-girl Punk band.Actually,those girls are active just a little more than a year,and they have already a good following and a cool amount of played gigs.I saw them accidentally the first time last year at the opening of the Varazdin`s Trash Film Festival,and they was a very pleasant surprise to me.Down here you have the video of a part of that first show,it was not perfectly played (not that anyone expected so) but it was immensely pretty.I saw them another time later,and the band is improving it`s skills,from gig to gig.This post comes as an announcement of their gig in Cakovec on September the 13th.On a Punk Rock festival,the Punk Chicks will have their performance playing alongside with KUD Idijoti (can`t wait for that!).And so,here is their first unofficial recordings,a rehearsal recorded on a dictaphone,not of great quality,very raw but enough to hear how they improved.Nice one,girls,see you on the show!!

..and few more vids:

Tracks:
01.Nikad od pankera covjeka
02.Pank za sve
03.Si na shank roke (Ramones cover)

40 GRADI (Cro) - Hi-tech re:search , promo CD 2008

EXCLUSIVE !!! EXCLUSIVE !!! EXCLUSIVE !!!

Finally!! There passed a long time since we had those maniacs here!!Now,I have the privilege to be the first to offer you this insane product of total rakija-fueled Grindcore.
I met the guys personally recently at the Grind Your Mind festival in Varazdin,and as persons you cannot imagine how great and pleasant are those guys,but as band..I admit,I haven`t seen such an amount of audio-brutality with an exciting stage show EVER!!A band that instantly became one of my top 5 Croatian bands.This promo cd was promised to me that day,as soon as it came from the masterisation in Czech Rep.,and I really thank the band for sending me it at once.
I hope I will see them live again very soon,and they will soon play in Vienna 2 times,so if you are able,go and see this ultrainsane Grindcore display of brutality.Oh yes,I forgot,and try Zoran`s excellent Rakija (grape brandy),winner of silver medal on a Rakija contest (believe me,it deserves pure gold!!).
Dedicated to all grindcore maniacs.A great thank you to the guys in the band!
P.S: The video here is my shooting and it is from the mentioned GYM festival performance.

40 GRADI - PROMO CD 2008

ROCK GODDESS (U.K.) - Rock goddess , lp 1983

Now,to finish this "female celebration day",the best female Metal album I have ever heard (with Girlschool`s Hit And Run,of course).Those three beauties up here (I have to be very careful with calling them beauties,as the guitarist/vocalist Jody Turner was 17,and her sister,the drummer Julie Turner at the time of recording this album was only 12 years old!!!)(and the drums,very rhytmical and strong,are IMO the best part of this album!) recorded this debut album under the production of Vic Maile (Motorhead,Girlschool...oooops,same story??No way this time.),and at the time I heard it for the first time (back in 83) it was one of the best Metal albums of the moment!You have to try it,if you like Metal melodic and raw,but very very strong.Oh yeah,I almost forgot:the last two tracks are not featured on the original vinyl release.I recommend especially tracks 6-11..fucking great!!
PS:The first vid here is for the track My Angel,and the bass here is played by Kelly Johnson of Girlschool (instead of Tracy Lamb,who played the album!).

Tracks:
01.Heartache
02.Back to you
03.The love lingers still
04.To be betrayed
05.Take your love away
06.My angel
07.Satisfied then crucified
08.Start running
09.One way love
10.Make my night
11.Heavy Metal Rock `n` Roll
12.In the heat of the night
13.Our love`s gone

An all-female NY based band playing Speed-Power Metal..Sounds nice,right?Well this album is a very good one,a contribution by my friend Bartol.It is from 1986,and the interesting thing is that the stuff you can hear on this album is written by David Defeis from Virgin Steele,the same guys that made the cult band-project Exorcist.If you like the good oldskool Speed Metal,this one is for you!

CRNA KRONIKA (Cro) - live 198x

Again,a band I don`t know nothing about,but it came on a very rare tape I got from a friend here in Varazdin,a band that was active in the 80s,and that left no other trace (at least for what I know).However,this is a nice soundboard live recording from the early 80s,and I got it on a tape along with a live recording by another band from Varazdin,Autoput (already featured here).Of course,no titles here,and I hope you will enjoy this pretty recording.

Tracks:
01.untitled 1
02.untitled 2
03.untitled 3
04.Nova generacija
05.untitled 5
