VARIOUS ARTISTS
Bombardiranje New Yorka - Vols 2 & 3 (Hardrock)
Reviewed by Alan Wright

Interesting compilations here. Vol. 2 starts off with some guy named Satan Panonski howling like a banshee to no musical accompaniment. Kinda horrible, really. Messerschmitt play sort of bluesy barband rock, they're one of those bands who I've heard some stuff I like by them and some I don't. The singer sounds too much like Ian Astbury for my liking on this stuff. Gnjevni Crv play pretty cool punk stuff, sung in Croatian. The Spoons do a cool live version of The Wheels' "Bad Little Woman" with lotsa organ going on. Cool version of "Get Out Of My Life, Woman," too, with some nice fuzz-wah guitar. Kaoticne Duse, Losi Decki, Mlinski Kamen and Dik O'Braz all sing in Croatian and all the bands contribute some burning punk /hardcore stuff. O'Braz in particular have a great early Motorhead type sound. The Bambi Molesters do a couple of cool surf instros. Even though I have no idea what Zadruga, Nepravljivi and Avlijaneri are singing about, they all have a cool garagey rock n' roll sound.

Vol. 3 is much more diverse. Some basic rock 'n' roll, in bands like SRZ and Svinjsko Korito, some blues stuff from the Rattleheads, some punkeir stuff from bands like Motor City Bar, Recyklisti, and a whole lot of inbetween stuff running the gamut from jazz-fusion to bad alternative rock and electronic crap.
