ATOMSKI RAT live @ AKAB Okretnica, Belgrade (Serbia) 18.02.2023. - video
dangerouslly good total thrash noise band from Šid, Serbia and their performance from last week gig in AKAB Okretnica.. total madness, and when you know that Luger also played there the same night, well I wish I was there..
just to mention, by the end of the last year their album Nekro San (originally from 2021) is released on 12" vinyl by Angry Voice Records from Germany and Terminal Records from Greece in limited 200 copies and is still available..
some 25-30 years from now when this record will be found together with rusty half-functioning turntable, under the ruins of ashes and concrete after doomsday caused by the nuclear war, by last two people survived, one crustie punk and one metalhead, they will discuss about Atomski Rat as a cult band of one era..

A NETWORK OF FRIENDS #5 fanzine
one of the latest I have read lately is omnibus fanzine A Network Of Friends which is compiled by some old and well known and also some new to me zines from across the world and those are: A Blast From The Past (UK), Negative Insight (US), Vermynoze Putrida (Bra), Bootlegs Of Filth (Aus), Crisispoint (UK), Gadgie (UK) and Initonit (UK) and is released in January this year..
originally the whole idea of Network Of Friends series started from Steve of Ripping Thrash and he also was supposed to contribute in this one but it ended up enable to do it, so this issue is compiled in the US in Negative Insight headquarter..
there are as you can guess a lot of material but not too much, and you can easily read those 68 pages in relatively short time.. from, the more interesting stuff to me I would point out some columns, article about history of punk gigs in Leeds from circa 1976-1986 and few gig reports from that time, interview with Jim Whitely (bassist in Napalm Death and Extinction Of Mankind among others), Autonomia (band from Peru) and some Icons Of Filth tribute artworks..
layout is also, as expected, various from one contributor to other but mostly in good old cut & paste style and with typewriter fonts, and I'm sure the whole thing would look great printed on paper..
okay, for all other you should discover by yourself, and you can do it on the link below where the whole thing is available for reading, downloading or printing and authors encourage you to make your own copies to avoid expensive worldwide postage costs.. D.I.Y.!

LOŠ PRIMJER live @ Oksid, Šibenik 21.01.2023. - video
I have a secret...which isn't really a secret, because I already had some "confessions" about it here while making a small review on their latest album...and this is that...I love this band...but didn't always realize completely that I love them, all this time...
anyhow, since the first album "Pozdrav Dabru" from 2000, they were always hidden somewhere behind all those noisy crust bands from Požega (with all of them they shared members, btw) and behind the walls of noise of all other crust and anarcho-punk stuff I'm listening since when I was kid, but they were always somewhere there and I often was returning to their records (most of the time to the first one, because the last two are, kind of, still fresh [nah, they really aren't but last 10-12 years flew by like fast train to me, damn...] ) and with smile on my face remembered all the hits and those specific and good lyrics, also was watching them live more than few times and as I remember all was great gigs and good parties..
they are something more active lately, have new bassist and are playing gigs again.. here is video of the latest from a week ago in Šibenik and as it seems it was pretty good, although it is obvious they are getting old, heheheh, they still got it, and it was one hour gig, which is always nice, respect..
in short they are, both musically and lyrically perfect rest and therapy for my mind from all this other noise with which I'm destroying my braincells last circa 25 years..
okay, enjoy the video and go say thanx for it here: https://www.youtube.com/@Welkin0711
small hint, from 12:30 - 15:45 is the best part ;)
and yes, there was a bandcamp page with their latest album "Slikovnica" (which was compound like true little masterpiece, btw) which mysteriously disappeared over the night, and that's just shame, so if anyone responsible is reading this please bring it back!..
and same as that, it's a crime that their two last albums aren't released on some proper medium, tape or vinyl.. I know some was in plan but obviously it got stuck somewhere.. well, if you ask me, and you don't, a full length LP with both albums would be just perfect.. and would sell quickly, I'm sure..
-update 03.02.: I find the bandcamp page somehow after all, don't know why link wasn't working then, anyhow you can listen it here: https://losprimjer.bandcamp.com/releases

MANKIND? - live @ Club 198, New York (USA) 1995 + text from Discography LP
Mankind?, similar to recently mentioned A//Political are one of my favorite American bands, they were great anarcho-punk group from New Heaven, Connecticut (US), and also one of those which maybe are underrated, at least out of US and don't/didn't get all the attention which they deserved (this is from my point of view, like from someone who live in Europe, but according to this nice review in the US they were very noticeable and influential).. was it because they were active only two years or because they didn't "reinvent the wheel" with their style and sound of anarcho-punk, I don't know but I do know that they are one of my favorites in this particular genre and perfect example of how 90s political hc punk band sounded or should sound like..
below is live footage of their gig in New York from 1995 and text published in booklet for their Discography LP released in 2021 on Ryvvolte Records and Fight For Your Mind and repressed one year later on the same labels.. enjoy!..

some treats from Ruin Nation Records mailorder..
I told myself already a thousand times not to buy a new records through mail any more because of insane prices of postage cost, actually not just postage but new vinyl itself but sometimes it's just stronger then me.. I do understand that costs of producing vinyl in pressing plants are growing every day and that we are living in fcked up time when prices of everything are insane, for few years just surviving will become luxury and that's frightening..
interesting, there was this song from AK47 (anarcho crust band from Zagreb) named "Panks not dead" from early 00s with lyrics which goes something like this: "I believe in anarchy/told the Exploited/then they sold their LP for 100 kn" (100 kn was like around 13 euros) referring to high prices of the records on major labels of that time, and today you can't find new LP of a diy band on small label for a less than that and that's also tragedy..
this time I decided for Ruin Nation Records from Germany, which btw celebrate 30 years of activity this year, two releases which I waited impatiently for a long long time because already well known and infamous waiting time and delays from pressing plants (unfortunately vinyl becomes popular again, not just in diy underground circles), and those were new album by almighty Crutches and split by Luger and Stalinstad, I was checking few labels which might have them first on their distros and when I saw that Ruin Nation still has Mankind? - Discography LP (repress from 2022) for fair price, the choice was easy.. Wartorn and Los Dolares split is here as alternative, at 1st there was old La Casa Fantom/Sonderknust split ep on sight but as it seems it's sold out.. all in all, this is some hell of a beautiful noise!.. and the last one I buy with expensive international shipping, I promise (hahah, who am I kidding?..)

MATRAK ATTAKK news
finally, a test press for Matrak Attakk split LP with hc punk bomb of a band, Persona Non Data which now seems like it's in preparation for ages, is now done and hopefully record itself will be out soon.. for now one song from M. Attakk is available for stream on bandcamp and Persona Non Data side you can check for already some time on theirs..
they didn't even settle down from enormous amount of last years touring and they are already preparing new ones.. of course there will be some Europe, for beginning a weekend trip in Lille, Brussel and Tournai during February, but they are also in setting Philippines tour in April/May and knowing them probably we can expect some more surprises by the end of the year..

STATE OF FEAR
below is a story about them written by John Krupa (vocal/bass), published on inlay for "A Tribute To State Of Fear" compilation LP released by the end of last year in collaboration of a few diy record labels..
I apologize for the possible minor mistakes because I literally rewrite/typed all that from a photo of inlay from the internet..
1994 was a big year for me. I was 20 years old and after 5 years of being involved in DIY punk in Connecticut with my fanzine Adversity and my bands Deformed Conscience and Sasquatch, I was on the road doing tours. In the spring of that year, I helped organize a US tour for Dirt and Hellkrusher from the UK and in the early summer Deformed Conscience toured all of the US and recorded our split LP with Excrement Of War. I was planning a three month trip to Europe that fall and had plans to move to thriving punk metropolis of Minneapolis in early ’95. But a project I worked on in the late summer of that year would grow into the most active and turbulent parts of my life for the next several years.
1995 was equally busy year for me, after returning from Europe I stuck to the plan and moved to Minneapolis. I was eager to start new band but still had those SOF songs rolling around in my head and got thinking that would be the best thing I could do to make SOF a real band and go on the road. After not much convincing, Jay packed up and headed up to Minneapolis. It was amazing timing that the same day Jay arrived in Minneapolis, one of my best friends from Connecticut (who had been living in Arizona for a brief time) also arrived at my door. Bracken Lejeune and I had known each other since our school days and were like brothers, so it was natural to get him involved in State Of Fear as our second guitarist. I have been jamming with Shane from Code 13 since I got to Minneapolis on drums , so the line up was complete.
Once Fred joined us, we kept this line up for the next year and half until we split up. The first thing we did with this line up was record our second ep “Wallow in Squalor” on Profane Existence and had the vinyl released two weeks after recording (thanks to Dan at PE) in time for our second tour with Fleas and Lice (which also brought us back to eastern US and Montreal ). In the winter 1996 we left the frigid tundra of Minnesota to do a tour of Mexico. That tour was difficult in many ways (financial, mechanical, language barriers etc.) but the guys from Regeneracion took good care of us and it is an experience I will never forget. In the summer of 1996 we did another eastern US/Canada tour, this time as three piece without Jay (tensions were already starting to bubble up). Jay met us out in Boston though so we could record again with our old and trusted engineer Bill T. Miller. This would be our LP “The Tables Will Turn”. Unfortunately we could not finish the recording and mix with Bill because I had blown out my voice after doing both mine and Jay’s parts for the whole tour (I’m sure the copious amounts of tobacco and alcohol didn’t help either). That sounds hard to conceive, considering the style of vocals I was doing, but trust me, there was nothing there, ha ha. A few months later we found a studio in Minneapolis where we finished the recording and mixed the record.
They say that time heals or maybe we just missed the madness of State Of Fear but in early 2001 we decided to do a reunion. Jon Hurt become our drummer for this tour and his enthusiasm breathed a new life into the band. Another reason for the tour was that we had never toured the western US before and felt it was something we wanted to do. We were joined by our Seattle friends Shitlist (led by another childhood friend of Brocken and I, Joe Rizzi). We has some amazing gigs on that tour and some great experiences with old and new friends on the road.
The last gigs SOF did was a one of reunion in Minneapolis in 2004 and the Pointless Fest in Philadelphia in 2005. Since then we’ve turned down several “reunion” gigs. While tempting, is hasn’t felt right living in the past and overall we would rather focus on what we’re currently inspired to do. SOF was one of the best experiences in my life. I got to met many good friends, travel to amazing places and be part of something much bigger than ourselves. Thanks to all who supported us back then and to those who remember us today. This is just my version and recollections. There are so many more stories from those days.
