Czech Republic

Hardcore punk was born here in 80's in a hard communist regime, when playing of punk music wasn't lawful. There was very big censorship on everything and only a few poeple tried to form punk or HC-punk bands. The first HC punk bands were for example...

Brachyblast

Radegast


Kritická situace


O.P.M.

After the velvet revolution, when the communists were gone, more and more bands formed and the scene in the Czech Republic enlarged.

In the present, there are some big centres of hardcore punk - Prague, Brno and Písek. Prague has the largest punk and hc punk scene. There are lots of great bands and lots of great people, who like that music. Also most famous, or legendary world bands travel here to play gigs.

Lakmé


Dakhma


PNS


In Brno there is a very big party of people, who love that music and here are more likely crust punk gigs and actions. Many world known crust bands are from there.
