PUNK ROCK ALERT from UKRAINE!
Highly critical and anarchistic, somewhere pessimistic and rough, but always antifascist and anti-governmental, the band Cios recorded the upcoming album in wartime conditions and named it “Caveman Traditions” (original title in Ukrainian “Печерні традиції“ pecherni tradytsiyi). The name reflects the modern realities of the society in martial law, which are somewhat similar to Orwell’s dystopian world described in “Nineteen Eighty-Four”. The band says: “We’ve poured our vision, emotions, and anger into this album. In these dark times of lies, hypocrisy, and deceit, we want to be as honest as we can with you.”

We interviewed the band Cios about the new album created in the dark times of war in Ukraine, and found out some fascinating details. Please enjoy the reading in German and English.
Cios says of the album:
"We've poured our vision, emotions, and anger into this album. In these dark times of lies, hypocrisy and deceit, we want to be honest as we can with you."
Caveman Traditions, the 7th studio album, shows the spirit of the underground punks who stand against wars, against tyranny, against government, against injustice and against masters. This is probably one of the most important punk album of the year that sounds strong and speaks loudly of the most painful problems of humans – wars and the human beings in them.
The LP Caveman Traditions is out now and can be purchased and streamed at all of the usual places.
