Gogol Bordello is Gypsy folk-punk band. Members are immigrants from Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Ethiopia, Ecuador (and some other nationalities), now they all live in NYC. They sing in multiple languages, have all kinds of instruments and do amazing shows - cabarets. Band started to play in 1999.
Here's their last full length called Super Taranta!
The singer of the band was acting in the movie called Everything Is Illuminated about a Jewish man going to Ukraine to search for a woman who saved his grandfather. Good movie, you should watch it.
So, if you like Eastern European and Gypsy music, you'll enjoy this record.

D.S. 13 Killed By The Kids
Some time ago I posted 2 records of Demon System 13 : For The Kids, Not The Business and Vad Vet Vi Om Kriget? Just to remind everyone, D.S. 13 is from Sweden, plays thrashy fast hard core.
The record Killed By The Kids released in 2001 has raw thrash sound of bands from the early '80's.

Project X
Project X was a straight edge hard core project band in late '80's of Porcell ( Youth Of Today, Judge, now as well Shelter), Schreifels ( Gorilla Biscuits, Youth Of Today...), Siegler ( Side By Side, Youth Of Today, Judge...) and Brown (Gorilla Biscuits, Side By Side). The band started coz Porcell and Brown wanted to include in their zine Schism a 7" with songs of NYC bands, but they couldn't get any so they decided to form a project band to record 5 songs for the 7". And here it is!

Razlog Za
Razlog Za is a legendary hard core band from Croatia. They played old school, with some melodies, with a bit of crust and thrash... Good Eastern European stuff! This band was a big influence for many other ex-Yugoslavian bands. Many played their covers, there's as well tribute to Razlog Za...
Here's sorta discography with almost all of the songs the band released.

Coalesce
Coalesce (from Kansas City) plays kinda chaotic, but very technical hardcore, almost mathcore. Metallic riffs, distorted bass, time and tempo changes, brutal , heavy and noisy. Coalesce!
Here's Give Them Rope, She Said cd (2004), which is remixed and remastered Give Them Rope from '98. And Functioning on Impatience cd. Give Them Rope has the best cover I've ever seen. The artwork is amazing!

Some Girls
This is really interesting band. Features members of so many bands that's hard to count all of them, so I'll mention only few of them : XO Skeletons, The Locust, American Nightmare, Give Up The Ghost, Unbroken, Swing Kids, Holy Molar... seems like those guys played in every San Diego band.
They started to play in 2001 and broke up only few months ago.
Some Girls play mix of hard core, noise core, spastic hard core with chaotic rhythm, and even some grind. Hard to explain...
Here are 2 records. All My Friends Are Going Death (released in 2003) is compilation of 2 EPs, and some unreleased songs. The DNA Will Have It's Say it's EP from 2005. Enjoy! I know you will!
