Macedonian punkrock trio Xaxaxa released their new album "Siromašni i bogati" for independent slovenian label Moonlee Records on September 8th 2012. Second Xaxaxa's album does not disappoint the least – on the contrary, it's an excellent followup to their first LP, "Tango Revolucioner". The overall sound is actually somewhat more progressive when compared to the first LP and the approach is slightly different, yet Xaxaxa still stick to their guns and deliver sincere and powerful punkrock tunes. The Hüsker Dü / Dag Nasty / Rites of Spring influences are still here, and yet again they're backed with lyrics about social injustice, imposed social norms and carelessness of those in power.
"Siromašni i bogati" is released on CD and LP, while at the same time it is also available for streaming and free download on Bandcamp, where you can also "name-your-price" and directly support the band and the label. Xaxaxa's new album is released as a joint effort of a number of different independent labels – Moonlee Records (Slovenia/Croatia), Napravi Zaedno (Macedonia, the band's own label), Prügelprinz Records (Germany), DHP AK47 (Croatia) and Gaphals (Sweden). Xaxaxa will embark on a one-month long European tour to promote the album, together with their friends and fellow countrymen SIZ. This time they will rock through Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. Check the dates below.
