An interview with Jožka for Belial W. Z. - www.belialwz.tk (June 2003)
1. Introduce yourself, who you are, your interests, etc….
My name is Jožka, I sing with SEE YOU IN HELL, I’m 29 this year, I’m happily married and have an 8 years old daughter Tamara. My top hobby is definitely hard core! Concerts, records, fanzines … anything else related. I am a keen collector of tapes, vinyls and fanzines. I have a huge collection of hard core, punk and 80’s metal products. I indulge in neverending discussions about bands and records … My other hobbies are reading comics and books, going to a film club, bike and hiking.2. Představ své aktivity - kapelu, label, zin ...
2. Speak about your activity ( band, label, distro, zine, etc…)
Besides being active in SYIH I
write columns and reviews for Hlubok8 orba – the longest existing fanzine in
Czech. There have been 23 issues so far and we shall celebrate ten years soon. I
also contribute to the fanzine Fragile. I have a small label called Satan´s
Punk Records, so far I have released only products by SYIH. Soon there should be
a compilation LP of Czech bands DYING ALIVE / LIVING DEAD featuring
GRIDE, DREAD 101, SEE YOU IN
HELL, UNDERFIRE, INNOXIA CORPORA, MASSGENOCIDE PROCES, NOT, HOMO CONSUMENS,
FRIENDSHIP FOREVER, NĚMÁ BARIKÁDA, SICHERHATE SYSTÉM, SPACE TO BEING coming
out with a huge booklet with a
history of Czech punk scene, that I will cooperate on releasing as well.
3.How do you describe local scene and people you´re in contact with?
I live in Břeclav, a town of
25000 people. There is no local scene here at all, even less, there are rarely
any punx or hc fans. But as for Czech Republic in general, I think we have a
strong and good quality scene for a small country. There are plenty of labels,
distros, bands, zines … My fave zines are Hluboká Orba, EYF, Impregnate,
Fragile and some more. Labels that I can recommend are the following:
-BADMAN RECORDS -
info@badman-records.com
- chiefly hard core / punk
oriented label that releases bands from Japan, US, Canada, …
-INSANE SOCIETY RECORDS -
barvak@insanesociety.net – label
that releases crust, grind and extreme HC with tens of tapes, vinyls and CDs
from all over the world on their account.
-MALÁRIE
RECORDS - malariepunk@seznam.cz
- the oldest Czech punk/HC label, again plenty of releases by bands from
everywhere.
-ULTIMA
RATIO RECORDS - ultima.ratio@seznam.cz
- relatively young label for Czech punk / hard core bands.
-HYENYZM

Plans?! We have just released a split 7” with THE PUBLIC and a split tape with HOMOCONSUMENS. Last Deecember we recorded new material, 5 tracks are on the EP, two tracks will be on the compilation LP LP Dying Alive / Living Dead, 1 song will be out on a compilation CD with the Reskátor fanzine, 2 tracks are covers of old Czech legend RADEGAST, they are for a compilation 7” Sekec Mazec 2, one track is a contribution to a tribute CD + MC to another Czech legend Kritická Situace. We also await the release of our Negative FX cover on an LP on the label of Ruido singer - Podruido records /USA/. It should be another cover album with contributions by Voorhees, Cripple Bastards, Ruination, Nailed Down, Sick Terror…etc. Also planned is another compilation 7”EP of Czech bands on Ultima Ratio records, with one track by us as well.
For autumn we plan some shows in Czech together with MIGRA VIOLENTA from Argentina and CONFUSIONE from Italy. We also work on new tracks and sometimes in winter we would like to record our full length LP.
