Kultur Shock - Awake

Review by Meggan

Kultur Shock's album Awake is a true masterpiece of Balkan punk rock. The band's unique sound blends traditional Balkan rhythms and melodies with punk rock energy and attitude, creating a truly electrifying and unforgettable listening experience.

From the opening track "Hashishi" to the closing "Zumbul," Awake takes listeners on a wild ride through a variety of musical styles and moods. The band's virtuosic musicianship shines throughout, with standout performances from violinist Amy Denio and accordionist Val Kiossovski.

One of the album's highlights is "God Is Busy," a catchy and irreverent anthem that showcases Kultur Shock's signature wit and humor. Other standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Tutti Frutti," the frenzied "Gino Loves You," and the politically charged "War America."

About Kultur Shock

Founded in Seattle in 1996, Kultur Shock is the brain-child of Yevdjevich, who relocated to the US with the help of Joan Baez following the Siege of Sarajevo (92-94). The band began as an electric-folk-trad quartet, but with some pushing from the likes of Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic (himself the child of Croatian immigrants)Yevdjevich reformed the band as a rock outfit borrowing from the catalog of Balkan trad. With an introduction from Jello Biafra, the band signed to Kool Arrow Records, the SF-based label of Faith No More's Billy Gould, through which they released three studio albums.
