When a band begin their biography with "Djevara is Punk Rock", it's impossible not to let out a little groan, cos at the end of the day, who cares what is punk and what isn't; people expend far too much energy trying to prove stuff as 'punk' or 'not punk' when it is largely pointless.

Djevara put some worthy effort into DIY promotion and charitable causes, and their music puts out some big statements to support this, screamed out like One Minute Silence or Rage Against The Machine at their peak, and the guitar work also shows a nod in the same direction.

This band are sure to grab some attention and draw interest towards them with their ironic and provocative track titles.  At nearly an hour long, this CD could prove heavy going but it's interesting on a lot of levels, has some great moments and is a rewarding listen.
