Lots has been said already, so we’ll keep it short. No surprises here – Debeli Precjednik/Fat Prezident‘s new album brings 15 catchy, hook-filled and heartfelt melodic hardcore punk hymns, something they’ve been playing for ages and still doing right. Anyway, “Bruto Slavo/VBK” is available on CD and vinyl, which you can order via Moonlee Trade Center, but bear in mind that the LPs will be shipped cca. 15th May as there’s been a fuck-up at the pressing plant. Oh well, nobody’s perfect.

The album’s also available as a free download at Bandcamp, but there’s also a “name-your-price” option, so you can decide on your own if you want to support the band and the label. It will be greatly appreciated. Radical times, radical solutions.

So yeah, that’s it. Stay punk… oh, and they’ve made videos for two songs off the album, so check them out on You-Tube.

OK, there’s still more – it’s confirmed that Debeli Precjednik/Fat Prezident will also play this year’s Punk Rock Holiday alongside punk rock greats such as Good Riddance, Sick of it All, 7 Seconds, The Toy Dolls and others. Cool.

A girl and three guys from Zagreb, Croatia. Started out in 2007., played numerous shows since then and released a self-titled debut album on Radio Is Down in 2009. Influenced by bands such as Fugazi, The Jesus Lizard, Sonic Youth or Jawbox, but sounding unlike any of those, as they’ve created a very fresh and energetic sound of their own.

Cripple and Casino are currently working on a new album, and judging by their live shows, the album’s gonna be RAD! It will be out in Autumn 2012, co-released by Moonlee Records and Radio Is Down.

The record is available as a 10” vinyl at the Moonlee Trade Center, as well as a free download via Bandcamp, but you can also pay what you want and show support. The choice is yours.

INxSANE and DESPITE EVERYTHING will promote their split record with a European tour, which will take them to Croatia, Italy, france, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Austria, Czech Republic and Slovenia. Check the dates listed below and be sure not to miss them when they play in your town.

Without further ado, here’s “Moja su Koljena Umorna od Moljenja“, the first single off their new album. The video was conceived by the guys from the band, shot by Igor Milčić and edited by Vjeran Marijašević. See/hear the video on Youtube or Vimeo, and download the song on Bandcamp.

Also, the album will be out in May 2012 and will be available on vinyl, CD and as a free download. Stay alert!

• Punk Rock Spring 2012(moonleerecords.com)

So, the first release on the list is Debeli Precjednik/Fat Prezident‘s new album.
The master recording is in the hands of Mr. Moonlee who is absolutely stoked and claims that the album rules, but that was expected as Debeli Precjednik can do no wrong. The album will be entitled “Bruto Slavo / VBK” and will be out in May if everything goes as planned. It’ll be available on vinyl, CD and as a free download, which means that it’s legal and no person who downloads it will end up in jail. The first single (and video) off the album will be out next week, so stay alert.

Next up, Moonlee will co-release (alongside a number of other labels) In-Sane‘s split 10” record with Greek punks Despite Everything.
For the ill-informed, In-Sane are a pretty awesome Slovenian melodic hardcore trio. They tour HARD and recently did an East Coast tour of the USA, which also featured a performance at THE FEST, the legendary (and we mean it!) punk rock festival in Gainesville, FL. The record will be out in the last days of April and promoted via European tour with Despite Everything, of course. Stay tuned!

Also, there were rumors that Repetitor‘s new album will be out this Spring, but it’s been postponed until Autumn.
There’s a number of reasons for that, but the main and most important reason is that getting things done right takes time, and we didn’t want to do a half-assed job here, so we’re taking our time, okay? The album will be worth the wait, we promise.

Well, guess that wraps it up for now. Don’t forget to brush and hey, check our webstore out – it’s updated regularly and full of stuff you might need

• Moonlee Trade Center is online! (moonleerecords.com)

Since “a clash of music and publishing” is a somewhat vague term, here’s what will actually be going on at Tresk #3: promotions of new releases by Slovene record labels, all sorts of workshops and round tables on the current state of music publishing in Slovenia and last but not least, live music in the evenings.
All this is organized by Radio Student and will take place at Kino Siska.

Speaking of live music, 9th March at Tresk #3 will feature the performances of two Moonlee bands – Repetitor and Nikki Louder!
Nikki Louder will be promoting their new tape (!) release, which will be out on their very own label, Rnka Rnka. Repetitor, on the other hand, won’t be promoting their new release because it’s not finished yet (for those who forgot, it will be out on Moonlee Records), but they’re bringing some new t-shirts with them, so don’t miss out.

Other Moonlee-related things at Tresk are probably the fact the the Moonlee distro crew will be there and you’ll be able to acquire some stuff that would normally have to be bought from either our webstore… or elsewhere. Expect special offers, discounts and the like. Consumerism and stuff…
Also, Mr. Moonlee‘s most loyal henchman, Mirkich, will sit at one of the round tables and participate in the discussions PLUS there are rumors that Mr. Moonlee himself might show up, who knows…

All in all, Tresk #3 sounds like loads of fun, so be there!

But it’s not only that – they have a new EP out, entitled “Igraj Slobodno!” and they’ll be promoting it on tour!
For the ill-informed, “Igraj Slobodno!” is a compilation of Bernays Propaganda remixes by various individuals, and the download is free, so go get it from Bandcamp.
Also, if you feel like buying some physical copies of Bernays Propaganda stuff, why not take a peek at our newly opened online shop?

So yeah, that’s it. See you at the shows!

The Igraj Slobodno! EP is a collection of Bernays Propaganda song remixes and covers, done by the likes of Mark Heaney (Gang of Four), Zea (the singer of The EX), Bei the Fish ft. Ida Lollobrigida, Sethstat, Anomalia Nativa, Fresh (ex-Suns, Bernays Propaganda), Duke B. and Mindless Violence.
Genre-wise, this is a pretty diverse compilation which shows Bernays Propaganda’s work in a totally new perspective, and a great one!

Also, the download of Igraj Slobodno! is free of charge, believe it not.
OK, we’ll cut the chit-chat now and let the music do the talking – download the compilation on Bandcamp and play freely!

free download @ bandcamp

And since we wanna go out in style, we’ll deliver a couple of releases that’ll be the perfect soundtrack to the world’s end.
The first one will see the light of day next week, and we’re talking about the Igraj Slobodno EP, which is basically a collection of Bernays Propaganda song remixes and covers, done by the likes of Mark Heaney (Gang of Four), Zea, Bei the Fish ft. Ida Lollobrigida and some other interesting people and bands. Obviously this compilation is pretty diverse genre-wise and it shows Bernays Propaganda‘s work in a totally new perspective. Seems that their music can easily transform and convey the message of these Macedonian activists to a different audience, which opens a bunch of new possibilities….

Igraj Slobodno will be a download-only release and download will be free of charge. Punk rock!
Anyways, wait just one more week and until then, check out a remix by Macedonian expat living in New York, Duke B.
