"Poguba, a young band that has already left its mark, continues with this 7'' without mercy and clear Hard-Core Ljubljana heritage with appropriate DIY production. Maximum energy and manic voices of rage and despair also evoke the ghosts of old Bristol which leads to ferocious combination close to U.B.R. and early DISORDER. With all the chaotic and rampant spirit, Poguba knows what the great songwriting is and their in your face urgency also leaves room for hommage to the roots of the dark punk sound. After an effective catchy but nihilistic break, the raw pogo attack continues. Like a wounded beast driving rusty nails into the absurdity of the modern world, the specter of a real HC/punk sound is with these young men. More than convincing." KKTZ
"Preserving some of the sound of their region in spoken parts of the singing Poguba comes with a much more destructive Cider Punk fuzz injection, different from the primal Bristol sound and more similar to Italian RAF, DIRGE or DISTRESS with their guitars sound, regretting some of the line before maybe yes! like CHAOS UK in "Just Mere Slaves". Their unhinged juvenile loose energy is lead by some of the best punk vocal type, a very pushed growl as in SHITLICKERS, THE BRISTLES or early VULCANO on their best track “Devil on my roof."
Six songs shape their new EP that already sounds great for those who avoid the purchase of DJ singles and prefer to buy Eps based on the amount of tracks to drink at home. Speed and raw quality guaranteed! Noč which means Noche in Spanish has a very fun spastic structures that has reminiscence to TOTAL ARMSVETT or early ANTI CIMEX.
Very recommended for those who have a hard time getting some satisfaction listening to current punk bands!" CSM 101.

each band represented with a song or two.. from the 1st night of Podrum's 18th anniversary celebration.. as one old Dislike's song would say: destroy everything, burn it to the ground, kejos, kejos krast!..
Podrum is my favorite d.i.y. place here, long lasting squatted venue started literally in small basement in Rijeka where bunch of gigs, events, workshops and all kind of radical punx activities were held over almost last two decades, they gradually expanded and developed their premises over all those years and becoming one of the most important independent places on underground d.i.y. hardcore punk map in this part of eu-rope.. these days Podrum is becoming an adult, turning 18th years of existence so the crew is preparing an hell of a party, like a 3-day festival with bunch of awesome bands, various workshops, tattoo sessions, etc.. number of visitors is limited to 300 so hurry up to reserve your "ticket" because as it seems hordes of crazy punks are preparing an invasion on Rijeka those days.. we wish them all the best and many more anniversaries like this one!!..
and here's whats crew from rijekadiyhcpunk have to say about the event:
"The time has finally come to share some information about the already infamous 18th anniversary of Podrum . Well...what can we say, here we are at last, even if it took a while...Also, it's important to note that none of the above would have been possible without various people who participated in the process, contributed to the space or in any way supported what we do. So, shout out to all of you!
For this reason, we will celebrate those 18 years in the only fitting manner. Or to be precise - there will be 22 bands performing on 2 floors in 3 days(!), a tattoo session lasting two days (a walk-in option will be possible, but it is necessary to contact the tattoo artist for larger tattoos), live screen printing, workshops, lectures/discussions, a poet slam and circus performances.
Sounds too much? Well, what can we do?! Nothing, but to indulge in the bacchanalia which are to come!
Very important notice! Due to the space limitations, we have decided to limit the number of visitors to a maximum of 300 people at a time. Therefore, please be understanding and patient when entering, as this is still a DIY event. Take care of each other!
Further information regarding the Off Program and the program's timetable will be announced soon!
