MIZERIJA – S/T – 7” (Doomtown Records)

Mižerija’s demo struck with its rebellious attitude, infectious melancholic vibes and heavy pop sensibilities. On first listen, the band evokes some early BOYE and KAOS demos, but charged with both a strong punk attitude and a breeze of modern dark pop/post punk freshness. If you like the melancholic and catchy sides of UK anarcho punk and ex-YU post-punk/new-wave, you must not sleep on Mižerija. There are some noisy moments here that recall the “Yes Sir I Will” Crass era, there’s Honey Bane style shouted femme vocal thing going on and there are some danceable aspects in the rhythm here. This is anarcho-pop wrapped up in razor wire and updated for the new dark ages that will come!
