Declaration & I Hope You Suffer - Split

allright. this is one of the finest hardcore splits you can get from Croat modern hardcore artists. I hope you suffer is a band from a cultural city Varaždin very near Zagreb. they were called before Destrukcija Stvarnosti, and are playing for several years now. also did a Euro tour in their best days. the band members have now a new project Life in Peril (contemporary moshcore, metalcore or something like that), but i hope they will do few more shows under IHYS. sound can be described as pissed of fast hardcore going to powerviolence, but still sincere hardcore as it should be. Declaration is a few year old band, but made a huge impact on Croat, Zagreb hardcore scene with their presence. they are very perspective as a band and still young. their sound is infulenced by oldschool hardcore bands like 7 seconds, minor threat throgh youth crew bands to modern hardcore bands like Verse, Trial or Champion. if you like hardcore, this split is as good as can get. and i hope you download

Declaration & I Hope You Suffer - Split [2010]

Skinhedsi - Djeca proletera

This is a post only for Croat and ex-yu public, and only for those interested in the skinhead subculture. I'm bringing you an article from a football supporters\hooligans\ultras (call it what you want) fanzine from Croatia. The fanzine was called "Tribine" and it was circling the 90's ultra scene in Croatia. Here is a article about the skinhead subculture "Skinheads - children of the working class".  Yes, skinheads were mosty children of the working class frustrated with their class belonging, but they made out of a subculture a safe heaven dealing with life problems and issues every person tries to overcome in this modern struggle of society. There's more than it meets the eye about this subculture. The article starts with a prelude, the roots, the violence and football of the subculture. Then the differentiation and schism in the subculture, and finally with a short review of the movement in Croatia and their mixture with the ultra' Bad Blue Boys and Torcida.

Bootstock

Bootstock is a Croatian oi! band. These 5 guys are coming from Ivanić Grad near Zagreb. Playing classic oi with ska mixtures for about 5 years, influenced by bands like the Bruisers, Templars, Cock Sparrer, the 4-Skins and traditional ska like Desmond Dekker, Toots and the Maytals (covering sometimes bands like these). Althought they are "active" this long, they recorded their first album a week ago. Before that you could only find their Demo, but only amongst people close to them. Guys are now finnally stepping on the scene with good shows ahead of them. Lyricly dealing with topics about their home town, street life, police problems etc. Really a great band, not very well known.

Eve & The Evils

Eve & The Evils is a young ska band from Zagreb, Croatia. Formed sometime in 2009, started doing shows in 2010, and in full speed in 2011 with good gigs ahead of them. Their sound isn't typical ska punk (and that's the best thing about them), i would put them more to an energetic ska combining rock elements, some say even soul, but let the artist tag themselves. They put on their myspace one and only EP available for download (the link doesn't work anymore). One more thing, they have a female vocalist, and the whole package sounds great. They deserve more attention, that's for sure.
Made an LP, enjoy.

Junk Messiah

"Oldschool or noschool". First Croatian band i'm posting will be Junk Messiah. They are a new hardcore punk band from Zagreb\Sisak.They rose from the ashes of xVaseline Childrenx which was an another great hardcore sxe band. They have an album called "The path of the snake" released in 2010. JM are a completely underground band, which is rare for the Croatian scene, that's why i like them, besides their great music. Also had a chance to talk with their vocal Pic so i had a first hand expirience how friendly they are.
Best way to describe their music as they say: "pissed off.fast.rocking.DIY.Vaseline children having sex with the Rites while listening to Ac/Dc and black flag. enough?"
Can't wait to see them live and how to get them in your town:
"so what's up with those messiah boys? nothing, just ask them and they will be glad to play some fine rockin' hc/punk tunes in your city...we require some gas money, something warm and vegan to eat, few beers and some cola for that two sXe guys in the band:-) we prefer D.I.Y. self run places with a cool non-macho, non-violent, atmosphere, no bullshit sexism and fascism of any kind...so that's it...see ya.."
