FOLK-PUNK. With the release of their 2nd full-length "as the eternal cowboy", AGAINST ME had firmly established themselves as a genre defying success. A handful of demos from the upcoming album, "searching for a former clarity", were stolen/leaked to the public. The initial response to the songs was unanimously positive. Yet, even years later, in the wake of the album’s massive success the leaked demos continue to be the subject of so much rumor and speculation that they’ve taken on a yeti-esque quality. Finally, with the release of "total clarity", everyone will have the chance to peek behind the curtain, as it were, and judge for themselves. In addition, among the 15 selections that comprise "total clarity", there are 3 songs that were never rerecorded for the "searching for a former clarity" album. Sonically "total clarity" offers a gritty simplicity that reconciles the songs to the passionate essence AGAINST ME is loved for.

Macedonian band BERNAYS PROPAGANDA could be shortly described as danceable newwave/post-punk band with charming female vocal. But don’t be misleaded, we are talking here about extremely political band influenced by a variety of bands, from Submission Hold over Fugazi all the way to the Gossip and Gang of Four. Firm drum beats accompanied with thick and groovy bass lines are the base upon which layers of funky and broken guitar chords are placed, and above all comes unique, strong and remarkable female voice as a cherry on the top. Were lunatic enthusiasm, bursting energy and catchy atmosphere already mentioned?(Maybe because BERNAYS PROPAGANDA is deeply rooted in d.i.y. hard core scene).
