NULA

 


It's hard to communicate and/or quantify our connection to this...thing. Yesterday a dude I work with talked about a tour in the '90s when he was stuck in the Lower 48 with The Merchandise while The Band (he was touring with) played a few shows in Canada and he snuck in a CRUDOS show in Boston while he was waiting for them to come back. Then tonight I was listening to Numero Group's Miracle Year record and feeling sorry for myself for never getting to see The Best Band Ever even though I have been lucky enough to see some really fukkn important bands. 
Anyway, NULA are so far outside of the above mentioned realms that it's not even worth discussing. Furious, raging '90s DIY punk from another world - listen to "Žrtve" and "Demokracija" and tell me the shit isn't important....just like CRUDOS and DÜ. Listen to "Anarhija" and tell me punk doesn't rule everything. There you go. That's it. Punk rules.

you won't believe how this shit was important here in Croatia and closest surroundings.. Nula and this album were one of the most important punk things here.. very anarcho engaged and provocative lyrics for the time and place, the lyrics and music on which generations of punks were raised..
they also had split 10" with maybe wider more known Polish crust punk band Enough!..
and they are still active, 2 years ago they released new album and still playing live from time to time..
