Rocket From Russia, Episode #25
10:00am - 11:00am
Happy Hello Hello Hello!
I think this episode of "Rocket From Russia" what the show is all about - new, international and local punk rock. Those are the three main aspects and types of punk rock music I try to build my show around.
I started off things with a block of awesome new punk rock and fresh tracks by Bad Religion, Broadway Calls, Less Than Jake, Off With Their Heads, Alkaline Trio and RVIVR. That was probably one of the best blocks in the whole history of the show.
Second block was very important to me. In that block I played songs by punk bands from Serbia and Croatia. Last Friday a football match between those two nations took place and that was the first time those two countries met on the football pitch. If you're not very familiar with relationship between those two former Yugoslavian republics on and off the pitch, check out this great article. Just to give you an idea about the kind of relationship two countries, the game started with Croatian fans booing Serbian anthem and I'm sure the same will happen in Serbia for the second game... Nationalism is stupid! And I'm sure that there are Serbs and Croats who are better than this. After watching the game I just wanted to give my positive spin on that situation and I decided to play Serbian and Croatian punk bands on the show. Great bands and great songs! Hope you'll enjoy this block!
And the very last block features four songs by four awesome local bands (NEEDLES//PINS, B-Lines, The Binz and Juvenile Hall). All those four bands can be seen live tonight at the Cobalt! Come out and enjoy a great night of local music!
