from belgrade in yugoslavia!

uuuuuuuh!give me some light!

Thank you all for your opinion,
Nice to hear both sides of the argument.
Stay cool

very good band from serbia!!

honestly I don't really see the point about this band. I mean if they were not from Serbia and muslims I think (that's only my opinion) we'd never have heard of them. It's kind of exotic and new, with an authentic rebel touch. But IMO their music is quite weak : the goove is flat, the sound is too rock (kind of Police sound without the prodigious drum playing), the bass lines are very basic, well.. the low voice is nice but it doesn't make a great band for me.

They're definetely band with unique sound. I appreciate the fact, that they're tring to find their own face (instead of copying jamaican original). However, that 'face' is not to my liking. Hugo Chavez The Hero? WTF?

I enjoy the socialist approach they have got and think they're a really an excellent group. They do however still have a little room for improvement when it comes to the musical compartment.

The link doesn't seem to work but I found the myspace. I don't find them as original and special as some of you seem to think, but still ok.

They are from Serbia...but recorded their album in France

I wonder if that "European" sound is so much an original specificity... For me, its more that it's hard not to have that clean metallic flat sound ("european reggae"), the real hard thing being to have a warm deep sound and that's what makes jamaican revival reggae so magic... and of what I hear, this band couldnt escape from the standard european sounding that affect many actual french productions too, even when they are inspired. Im not saying its easy!

good luck anyway
