Shank Rock...S/T

[Dead Planet]

Just got around to hearing this release and it is excellent IMO...What do the rest of you think?

[LV KIX]

I agree, a very solid release. I only got this one about 8 months ago. I usually have them listed on ebay but nobody seems to bid on it. I'd be curious as to how many here have heard it.

good melodic rock indeed

Not really. Any samples anywere online?

Great disc... 'Good and bad' is an all-time fave of mine. But bar a couple of fillers, is a pretty excellent disc.

[Dead Planet]

Oops, the CD is called Crime Time not s/t....

[Stefan]

This was their first release sung in English. Released by Long Island Records back in the day.

Their second English record 'Poglei v svet' was released in 1996.

Pretty good stuff.

I come form the Shank rock home country Slovenia and they are the most famous band of this genre. Back around 2000 they had dreams of making it big abroad but in last 15 years they are active on home stages. They changed main guitarist and writer in 2006 and released more alternativ e sounding record, the went on hiatus and are now few years active again with original guitar master Bor Zuljan. They just released new record in slovenian language, they still stick to very melodic, positive music with strong choruses. They had a chance to play together with Steve Stevens at a big festival event few years ago. Here some links:

Good info. Thanks for the update. What a shame they don't still record in English, because as you say, it sounds like they're still doing what they do best. Unfortunately I have no interest in them if they don't sing in English... but it's a shame. Sounds like they could still have good input in the genre if they wanted.
