Tozibabe - S/T EP
Label: FV Zalozba; Year: 1986; Format: Vinyl EP
This 3-piece female band hailed from Ljubljana in Slovenia, and at the time of the release of this 4-track EP it was part of Yugoslavia. Tozibabe are probably to this day one of the best hidden gems when it comes to international hardcore punk acts from the '80s, most likely due to the scarceness of this EP, but above all as a result of four outstanding gloomy hardcore punk thrashers that could not have been any better. The desperation and urgency come through in each song, and these ladies knew how to write songs with an intelligent twist to them. A few years ago this was apparently bootlegged, but I for one sure hope that a label specializing in re-releases of this sort will pick this one up soon to give it a much deserved wider audience. A true classic!

Update September 2022: In 2015 Ne! Records reissued the 7" officially. Unfortunately those copies seem to be hard to get by now.
