We will start by posting the interviews we've done for the past issues... and then we will continue uploading articles, mainly by theme. (interviews, recipes, diy crafting, etc)

They’re not your typical hardcore band. Playing for ten years they started as a hardcore punk band with some thrash and skate punk elements but now, with “Dark Poetry”, they’re experiencing with a dub / acoustic / surf rock sound. Vodka Juniors formed in Athens in 2000 and since they’ve toured Europe several times and most recently they did an exclusive Romanian tour.
1. How come you decided to make a tour only in Romania?
O&K: Paul BHCB had the idea and emailed us about it. All the capitals and big cities in Europe are very similar. The exciting part of touring abroad and not playing Athens everyday is to meet new cultures and play the strangest, smallest, most distant places. We enjoy gathering weird experiences. The only way to do this is to go somewhere and spend at least a week going up and down the country. We’ve played one off shows in other countries and its ok. But this is different because in Romania now we have a new home.
2. We all noticed that your merchandise was for free, how did you manage this?
O&K: We sell drugs. Also we work really hard during the rest of the year and instead of buying cool amps and guitars we invest all the money in making our stuff as accessible as possible to everyone trying to keep our band and money separated even if it’s really difficult. The downside is we can only tour for a couple of days per year, but on the good side these days are usually an emotional bloodbath. You must come to see… and ask for drugs.
