Bulgarian Punk Band – Scroletics
We finished up our summer 2014 tour of Eastern Europe in the Balkans and the lovely Bulgaria. In the friendly, small river town of Ruse I ran across this somewhat angry band Scroletics. But don’t let the energetic music fool you, the guys are super nice, (I hung out with them after rehearsal).This song was […]
Serbian Punk Hot Bed
Novi Sad, Serbia – We rolled into town just 2 hours before the big punk rock concert and fundraiser, threw our luggage in the apartment and headed out to China Town and Route 66 to see a killer Serbian Punk Show headlined by our new pal Dasko and his band Red Union. Killer show, killer […]
Slovokian Punks Rock!
I’ve traveled far and wide to bring you the best punk music from the far corners of the earth but this one ranks in the top 10. The guys from ! Kto Chce Co Chce (Do Whatever You Like) in Bratislava, Slovakia spoke little to no English and my Slovakian is even worse.. but speaking […]
Serbia Needs Our Help
Serbia, where I visited in 2012 and home to Concrete Worms, UPS & our buddy Darko is undergoing the worst flooding and natural disaster in over the 120 years they’ve been keeping records of such things. As this humanitarian crisis unfolds, we are prepping a trip there next month to film for “Raw Travel”. If […]
Brand New Video from Hungary’s Horibillies
Our buddies from Budapest, The Horibillies have come out with their video for their little psychobilly ditty “Drinkin’ all night long”… I liked it live and I like the video. Good stuff guys!
Romanian Punk Video Segment Now Live
It seems like forever, but just 4 months ago I was in Bucharest, Romania. It was middle of their summer (ours too come to think of it) and it was H-O-T and humid…and probably a little deserted as many folks usually head to the Black Sea for summer holiday. But what the hell did I […]
Exclusive Video Interview – Serbia’s Concrete Worms
The Russian twins (the super dedicated & talented Punk Outlaw interns who aren’t really twins or even related, but are always together) and I have been busy since my trip to Eastern Europe working on putting together some video segments for you guys. If you indulge me by pretending you read this blog religiously, then […]
Nuggers from Romania
Here is a long awaited video I promised a few weeks back from one of the bands at the Underworld Club in Bucharest, Romania. If you missed the coverage of the other bands, then check the post HERE. From what I understand, Nuggers are pretty new, but they sound like they been playing together for […]
Insane in Da U-Kraine!
Fear is a funny thing. It has you thinking things you normally don’t think and thus behaving in ways you normally wouldn’t behave. I arrived in Kiev (or Kyiv City), Ukraine with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. Higher than average for a new travel destination. I know from experience to be careful when traveling. […]
(Not So) Spooky Times in Romania
Romania, land of Dracula, vampires, werewolves and Vlad the Impaler. Also, land of “punk music?”…. Yes, well lets just say, it’s getting there. Not that long ago, Romania was a communist country where a pair of jeans could be traded for almost anything. Punk music was outlawed and just getting your hands on some rock-n-roll […]
Serbia… Not Just Another Blog Post
I arrived in Belgrade, Serbia without a plan. My original plan was to hook up with the guys from UPS! (Stand Against the System), a local Serbian band that I signed to Punk Outlaw Records sight unseen because of their kick ass CD (Evolution of the Transition) that sounded a bit like a mix between […]
Bloody Good Time in Budapest!
As I write this I’m rolling through Serbia on a slow moving train headed to Belgrade. My cabin mates speak a strange (to me) language I can’t begin to understand. It’s hot and I don’t remember sweating so profusely while sitting still in a long time. Rolling by is an intermittent landscape of beautiful greenery […]
Hungarian Hellfreaks on the Loose
After almost 2 days straight travel with only a couple of hours of dozing since I left JFK Airport in NYC yesterday, I’m not sure what time it is, much less what day it is. I arrived in Budapest in dire need of a nap but instead made my way over to the Amigo Pub […]
Bankrupt in Budapest!.. are.. you.. ready?!
Budapest is the first stop on our very first ever Eastern European tour and so far it’s looking very promising. The Russians, Tim and Snik, have been super busy highlighting a plethora of punk/psychobilly and rockabilly bands in Eastern Europe for us to highlight and Budapest looks like it’s teeming with talent. I’m gonna be a […]
The Rumors Are True… We Do Get Around.
Some of you “old timers” may remember that way back in October 2010 we traveled to Moscow and St. Petersburg Russia to report on the punk and rockabilly scene there. One of the bands we profiled was Tarakany! (Cockroach!), one of the biggest punk bands in all of Russia. After an 11AM rehearsal (which was […]
Hungary for Some Travel – Eastern Europe Here We Come!
I’ve done no research. I have the guidebook but haven’t read it. I’m ill prepared and that’s the way I like it. It’s time to go on the road.
