Bloodstains Across Yugoslavia

22 tunes of rip-roaring Punk Fuckin’ Rock from Yugoslavia (aka: the country that was once comprised: Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro & Kosovo). Yugoslavia unlike Romania or Bulgaria were out of the main Soviet influence and decided to do state Socialism their own way (for better or worse).

The important thing here is this comp along with EVERY Bloodstains & Killed By Death” - comp shows you that Punk Rock was WAY MORE than America and the UK (or Western Europe for that matter). Never mind punk being “dead” in 1978 – it's plenty alive here. Language-wise I believe this are all sung in Serbo-Croatian with maybe some Slovenian from Pekinska Patka.

(((((((2))))))) Twangy fast & LA-style punk with very original vocal sound with an Oi! – like chorus.
(((((3))))) Bassy, poppy chorus-heavy tune. More great vocals & wailing guitars.
((((((4)))))) Great drums & riffing, extremely catchy vocals that fit perfectly with the bass tone. Punk 101 guitar tone.
(((((5)))))) More hard rockin’, mid-paced punk. Chorus sounds like something off 70’s hard rock like Rose Tattoo or even super early AC/DC crossed with football hooligan chants.
(((((6))))) Loose chords, speedy but super poppy with “ooo-wooo” backing. The Yugoslav Dickies? Fun!

(((((((12))))))) HUGE TOTAL PUNK sound with MASSIVE CHORUS and wailing chorus. Kinda Oi!, too.
