Bernays Propaganda – Zabraneta Planeta Genre: alternative, indie, rock, punk, post punk Zabraneta planeta by Bernays Propaganda With this band it might finally seem like I ordered the albums not only according to genre, but also according to location. This is not the case, but purse coincidence. May I introduce: Bernays Propaganda from Skopje, Macedonia. From the album page: “Signature new wave/post-punk sound with strong danceable basis, delivering firm drum beats accompanied by thick and groovy bass lines, upon which layers of noisy and disharmonic guitar chords are played, though less funky and broken as before. Add more of that strong and remarkable female voice shouting political lyrics over catchy atmosphere and bursts of energy, and there you go – 9 new songs, 9 new stories, 9 new manifestos calling for radical changes. Bernays Propaganda once again outdid themselves, presenting us with material that shows how a band can reach full songwriting and arranging maturity while losing none of the basic postulates of the philosophy they grew up on.” Zabraneta Planeta is a name your price download from Bandcamp.
