Zóna A - Grandfathers of Slovak Punk Rock

Bratislavske dievcata
I really love Slovakia. This band is one oldest Slovak punk rock bands. It was formed in 1984. During the Communist Regime in the ČSSR they had to play in secret under fake names. About 4 band tapes were circulating at that time. In 1985 there was even a first film made about them but it was never broadcasted because State Television labeled it: "not suitable for communist youth". A year later the band members passports were confiscicated by the secret police to avoid them appearing on a festival of the scene in Poland (JAROCIN). It was not until 1988 when as a result of the whole Perestroika in the Eastern Block the band was first allowed to play on festivals and there were interviews in Newspapers. The state-owned record company OPUS even offered to put out an official record, the band however refused this offer because they did not want to change some disputed lyrics in order to make this deal come true! After 1990 they have also toured some Western European countries, like Austria, Italy, Germany. One if not the most famous Slovak punk rock band of all times :)

Živé Kvety - Slovak rock

Hehe. Had to do this double post on Slovak music. There's just too much of good stuff there. Živé Kvety is a Slovak alternative rock band. Maybe I should add there's a certain folk and kitsch flavour added to their tunes. It's really interesting. I found to love them really fast. You should just see for yourselves, yeah! They have a lot online, for people like us, far away from where they record or the records are sold.

Smola a Hrušky

Smola a Hrušky is a band from the Slovak Republic which I'm really into recently. The music they play is sort of Ska-like sometimes Reggea upbeat merged with poppy melodies to make the music really positive joyful catchy tunes!
I love them, ľúbim ich!!
