see this > MoE at Müszi
A MoE egy zenekar Norvégiából, amely ismeri és keveri a minimalista kompozíciókat a kísérleti és alternatív megközelítésekkel. Ez a zene egyáltalán nem próbál illeszkedni a rock műfajába, sőt számtalan esetben lépi át a rock, illetve a zaj határait. Teszi ezt hangosan és hevesen, amíg egyre közelebb kerül a hallgató az egészséges őrültségig.
The Norwegian band MoE is known for mixing their minimalistic compositions with alternative and experimental approaches that fails to fit in the rock genre. With countless collaborations exceeding the borders of rock and noise, MoE seeks the absolute presence in the execution of the music. Loud and violently, they molest their instruments and brings the listener closer to a healthy insanity.

The Steam Engine was one of the best Hungarian metal bands. The last EP
The guitarist, Tibi Rebák replied to my questions
What was the first own record in your life? Please write some words about it!
Metallica – St Anger. In contrast with the public opinion, I think it’s one of the best Metallica albums. It’s full of huge riffs and themes. It gives me many more so musically as lyrically. Some years later there was a film, Some Kind of Monster. It helps understand this album, the then chaotic years, and places the full Metallica-phenomenon to another view.
Which record made the biggest influence on you?
I can’t and don’t want go under five albums. Rather see this video; it exercises really great influence on me
If you don’t recognize him, click!
What was the last record that you heard?
The Russian Cirlces’ new album, the Memorial turns round and round nowadays. I have mixed feelings. Unfortunately they made a mistake, previously published the highly best song of the album, Deficit, and compared to this almost perfect track there are few outstanding moments, for example the Burial and the Lebaron. Maybe the sound was never so much metal than now; in some places it is wholly Norwegian. Despite its shortness the album is homogenous throughout. Well, it’s one of the best things of this year smoothly. Moreover I can see them on November 14 in Budapest with the Pozvakowski. Perfect.
All of Steam Engine records are free!

He was the commander of German troops in the Battle of Stalingrad. Bambou was his last lover, and mother of his son.

Back To The Boots
Bloodshot Records V/A – 1
„IF YOU’VE ONLY GOT A 1000 DOLLARS
YOU OUGHT TO JUST BUY A GOOD GUITAR” or
Two important albums of alternative country
will be reissued on Nov 19 by Bloodshot Records
The Bottle Rockets’ debut from 1993,
and their next album, The Brooklyn Side from 1994.
The Bottle Rockets are pioneers of alt-country. The roots of this subgenre go back to the 80s. There were two bands in the Midwest, The Primitives played rockabilly, then punk, finally blues oriented fast garage rock; the Chicken Truck played outlaw country music. The two bands occasionally played together. The first band changed his name into Uncle Tupelo, and released his debut album in 1990. The ’No Depression’ would be the first „alternative country” labelled record. In same year the Chicken Truck split up, and the singer and guitarist, Brian Henneman became a roadie and guitar technician of Uncle Tupelo, but he also played on shows and records as a permanent guest. Furthermore a country cover band, the Coffee Creek was founded by U.T. and Brian, who after a successful solo single (backed by U.T. men and ex-Chicken Truck drummer) founded his own band with ex-C. T. members in 1992. The Bottle Rockets’ first album was released in the following year. And the end of beginning of alt-country in 1994 the Uncle Tupelo split into two part: Wilco and Son Volt.
But the pioneers of alt-country dispute that they discovered any singular thing: „we were just picking up the ball, starting with Woody Guthrie and on to the early ’60s and the Flying Burrito Brothers that we were influenced by. We didn’t start a genre. We contributed to a long line of fairly good music.” – said Mike Heidorn, the ex-drummer of Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt. Never mind, the alt-country is flourishing.
In one hand, the phrase shows the opposition to the Nashville dominated corporate country, in other hand marks the difference from traditional country style. There are various elements of rock and roll, rockabilly, punk, rock and blues mixing with country, like in the music of Bottle Rockets:
Stories about the blue-collar side of America on remastered two-CD reissue set with 19 previously unreleased tracks: Chicken Truck and acoustic demo versions, songs with Uncle Tupelo members from the pre-Bottle Rockets era, live and radio performances. The package consists of an 40-page booklet.

BAG OF DICKS – drum’n’double bass punk
„Naná, hogy a Bag of Dicks egy kurva jó zenekar – rohadt hangos és úgy recseg két basszuserősítőből a fuzz, hogy kész csoda, hogy eddig nem hallatszott át Belgrádból ide Budapestre (…) És hogy mi történik olyankor, ha a Bag of Dicks egy héttel az itteni buli előtt feloszlik? Nos, olyankor jön egy B-terv, ami a végén még lehet, hogy jobban sikerül az eredetinél – ugyanis nem más fog beugrani a dobok mögé, mint Dávid (Románia, Broken Cups, Supernaked…) és ahogy elnézem ezt az új duót, a két sötét hajú, bajszos rocker közül nem tudom megmondani, melyikük a lelkesebb! Egyelőre viszont úgy néz ki, hogy ez lesz az utolsó Bag of Dicks koncert a Földön, akkor meg minek menne idén bárki is idétlen halloweeni jelmezbálba, hm?” (Zsófi – Piresian Beach, Summer Schatzies)
