Vodka Juniors: Music Suggestion Of The Day 14/11/2016


Ok this week is awkward due to the long-awaited upcoming Metallica release on Friday. Nevertheless this week was meant to be all Greek and weird as far as music suggestions go. First suggestion of this week is the greatest contemporary Greek rock band according to THE authoritative punkologist. How u say Mr. “know it all”? In this case (as it was on third world war post) and as far as the local punk-ska-skate subgenre is concerned they’re most likely if not No1, surely amongst the top three acts of the scene. Their politically fueled lyrics and the constant music fusions in every record they released till now tend to prove so.

The scriptures don’t seem to have discovered them yet so that post is a) ahead of its time (because the band seems that it is the next big thing waiting to happen) and b) quite instructive. To me they sound like Arctic Monkeys with a punk rock agenda. Or Bad religion with strummer writing the songs, or Madness on beers, vodka & acid. Today’s band is coming from Athens. They’ve formed in 2000 and at the same time they landed a deal with the uk label Cannonball Records. With them they’ve relased every album so far (3 LPs and 2 EPs). Every long playing release is either a double feature or a triple feature, while the extended plays is more like a full album, duration – wise.

Some more Greek info (as it was found on anexartisi.gr): «Δημιουργήθηκαν στην Αθήνα το 2000. Η σύνθεση της μπάντας είναι Χάρης φωνή, Κωστής jr κιθάρα, Φουντούκης μπάσο και Ορέστης τύμπανα. Η πρώτη κυκλοφορία ήταν μια demo κασέτα το '00, με τίτλο "No Drinks For You". Aκολούθησαν τρία cd από την "Cannonball 666 Records" και μια κασέτα. 
Συμμετείχαν σε πολλές συλλογές ελληνικές και μη. 

Έχουν κανει περιοδείες σε Γερμανία Αγγλία & Ολλανδία και έπεαιξαν με μπάντες όμως "Propagandhi", "Agnostic Front", "Outcold & Lagwagon", "Therapy" κ.α. Το '08 κυκλοφόρησαν το διπλό cd "Dark Poetry" και περιείχε 38 τραγούδια. το '09 έκαναν πειοδεία στα νησιά μας, το '10 στη Ρουμανία και το '11 στην Ελλαδα." Φέτος κυκλοφόρησαν το πολυαναμενόμενο Club riot μια τριπλή κυκλοφορία 44 (?!) τραγουδιών

So here u have it the guys from Athens in an extensive presentation (All releases), aka
VODKA JUNIORS
