TOŽIBABE straddles the line between riffy punk and hardcore energy with their sheer enthusiasm, and I found these four simple songs even more engaging on multiple listenings. Good female vocals and a distinctive instrumental sound make this a fine debut release.
A bunch of Yugoslavian punk bands (U.B.R., III KATEGORIJA, EPIDEMIJA, TOZIBABE, ODPADKI CIVILIZAGIJE) present four to six songs each on this cool sampler. The mode of HC is grungy and loose, following the examples of the Italians, yet veering toward the speedier approach of the Northern Europeans. A very good sampler, and fairly consistent from song to song.
A pretty hot comp of Yugoslav acts who play it mostly hard and fast. Standouts are 2227 and GENEV DELRET. Worth looking into.
