Millerou & Germanikou squat existed for 10 months....yesterday got evicted.The eviction took place in the early morning (7:00pm),the timing was planned so supporters could not be there and maybe try to stop the eviction. The squatters got arrested and they were all at first prosecuted,but after a short court session they were all set free.
The last years a lots of squats have faced the threat of eviction in europe due to the ''war on terrorism'' madness. The european states have found an inside enemy that's opposed to their plans. That's the autonomous-anarchist-antifascist movements and the squats that operate as centers of anarchist practice,communal living and other kind of activities.Koepi is a squat that facing eviction,support Koepi! Ungdomshuset is down....a thousand more will rise! A//E
Jmenfous are from Switzerland but for the most time they're on the road touring constantly.Their sound is unique,experimental,post-punk/hc,they can drive you crazy with their irritating sounds and live performance.This pic is from the last time they visited Greece.
Hibernation is an old-school crust/hc band from Greece.They've been around for about 10 years or so but they don't play live shows that often,so it's been some kind of experience for me seeing' them play! I managed to get this picture,which by the way i consider to be the best i've taken so far,by almost almost falling of the woofer i was standing on. Well worth the try!!!
Stopkox is a great punk/hc band from Germany and most of their lyrics are focused on animal/earth liberation issues.This must have been their 2nd or 3rd time in greece as a band.The best thing about their music is that they managed to have a personal sound which is a hard thing to do in such an overplayed genre.Great shows too!
No need for introductions here,Oi Polloi live!!! It's something i was looking forward to since i first got into punk.Still fresh and full of energy even after all these years.By the way the show was a benefit for greek political prisoners and Oi Polloi had a small speech about how important these actions of solidarity are.Unite and win!!!
Sarabante is a greek crust band.They mix the sound of Catharsis with skandinavian hc. Check them out in :myspace.com/sarabante
One of my favorite bands and totally nuts live! Melodic crust from Germany.
Ruidosa Inmudicia is from Austria and their sound falls somewhere between hc and thrashcore. They toured europe with Sotatila recently.Check their website: www.ruidosainmudicia.net
I just discovered two blogs about christianity and i thought they'll love this.....it's a church on fire!!!
Sotatila hails from Austria but their sound comes straight from Finland (as their singer too!).Finnish '80's hc revival!!! They share members with Ruidosa Inmudicia and their singer is the drummer of the legendary Finnish hc band Riistetyt!
Aktivna Propaganda is hc band from Slovenia.Their lyrics deal mostly with immigration problems and border control. Lots of energy while on stage!!!!
