We’re a hardcore punk band from Sofia, and we’ll be closing out the first day of the festival with a free concert—and that’s exactly why the first sentence ends there.
Our songs are a mix of sharp social commentary and funny stories with friends; the tempo is fast, and we love the energy in front of the stage—it’s what makes the show come alive!
The idea to participate came about during a 12-hour trip, when Geo and I (Rado) were heading home from the Fits Festival in Romania, and I’d say that’s when we really got to know each other.
At first, the idea of closing out one of the days with hardcore punk seemed more like a provocation and something different from what was expected, but as it settled in my mind, it started to seem more and more logical and acceptable.
I don’t want to get carried away with long-winded ramblings and deep thoughts, because as I write this, I’ve been living among the rocks on a bottomless shore for 44 days, and the sea is amazing!
I’m sure that both the circus and punk are places for people with character, trying to live outside societal paradigms—for people who accept and appreciate differences and need their own freedom. To that, hardcore adds a sense of unity and support, and for me, that’s how a concert featuring our band at CIRKOLUTION! comes to life.
Let’s turn our differences into strength and have fun together on September 25 at Toplocentrala!
Against All Authority – Diagnosis: Free
From a young age, they scare us with God and prison,
on the screen, it’s TERROR-FEAR-TERROR on repeat.
You collect points for hell or heaven—
I guess the gravediggers don’t have that chart?!
Never a victim,
even with fear in your heart; here, freedom is considered a sin.
Since we were little, we’ve laughed at all our troubles,
though sometimes with broken heads.
Chorus: The diagnosis—free,
it makes you sick to any authority.
They’d rather see you locked up,
or better yet, buried.
Fear of uniforms—of course!
I look every pig straight in the eye!
I refuse to follow your rules,
I hate you even in this verse!
