Šanov 1 Konec Světa LP reissue
If you’re a fan of the pure punk sound, then nothing beats the bands that come out of Eastern Europe. I don’t know if it’s a direct result of generational dictatorial trauma, but there’s a palpable dystopian darkness that oozes from each and every act. Granted, I usually have no idea what they’re singing about, but the angst is so thick you can cut it with a pocket knife. ŠANOV 1 incorporates a Gothic-flavored Oi! style that sounds like it came straight from the ’80s—instruments chock-full of reverb and biting, snotty vocals. Really solid stuff here, I’m just confused why Papagájův Hlasatel doesn’t give me the option to buy any of their albums on Bandcamp!
