In the hardcore scene today, hate runs rampant. Not only is negativity ignored, it seems that there is some vicious jealousness between bands and crowds. Like there is only one band and crew that deserves to be called HARDCORE band and / or crew. Hailing from Novi Sad, Serbia, KOLAPS has a positive, friendly, no left or right politics attitude. The message that not only true fans can see but is wide ranged to all audiences. Don’t look up to the band as it is, look up to society and demand answers for your question’s! THE STORY: Back in the 2005, two random guys, Kimi on bass and Ogi on guitar, talked about starting a band influenced by hardcore bands such as Madball, Sick Of It All, Agnostic Front and the whole NYHC scene. Whole thing starting a band was hard and painful because just another two new kids in the city wanted to play in band. After a while and a lot of rehearsals with random musicians, the band joined Mika behind the drum set. With the formation of band like this, they had few gigs and recorded first EP in titled “Trust Yourself” in 2006. Few months later band line up changed. Crveni got in the band on drums and the whole thing started to turn in some great story. In the year of 2007, band started being active with gigs all over the country. Summer of 2007 the band entered the studio and recorded new EP “Grad” which had great acceptance by the audience. People started to recognize their attitude and their sincerity and the band was invited to do interviews, gigs and participation on few V/A’s. After successful year playing gigs, recording EP and participation on few V/A’s band was finaly part of the scene. Beginning of 2008 the band become part of OUR LIFE OUR WAY Records DIY family and recorded “United & Strong” split with band Hate Line from Italy. Having a break that lasted for six months, band realized that there is something missing. All the way from the beginning band worked as three piece and in the August of 2008 Dovla joined band on bass guitar and Kimi from then is just a singer / screamer. Now, band is working as four piece and its remaining this way. The band is currently working on new material and should hit the studio in 2009 for recording their fist full length. New material is much heavier and faster, deeper and never seen before performed by KOLAPS. With their friends from bands that played with and bands beliefs they are stronger than ever and heading to crush new obstacles! |
