		The word "zegota" was used as a code name for a group of Polish Catholics who, in the midst of WWII, saved thousands of lives working as an underground railroad for Jews and other assorted outcasts under the tyranny of Nazi Germany.
		The volunteers involved with zegota put themselves at great risk by hiding out the persecuted in their homes, feeding them, clothing them, preparing false papers for them, and scraping up whatever money they could spare to aid in the fight for freedom.
		When we started this band, we were wide-eyed with optimism, ready to fucking destroy this world with explosive music and honest expression.

		After their US tour in winter of 2002, Zegota took some time off for their guitarist, Jon, to concentrate on raising his newborn child in Sweden.
		Zegota reformed during the summer of 2003 in Stockholm, and played shows in northern Europe through the fall, before coming to play a few shows in the Northeastern USA around New Year’s.
		In the times between band activity, the drummer has spent time studying music in Africa, the bassist has been squatting in Amsterdam, the singer has been involved in direct action and activism in the USA, and the guitarist has been raising a child, working as a carpenter, and playing folk music in Sweden.

		I would suggest to anyone who is not interested in ideas, to avoid all CrimethInc bands, as we all are working to bring life and passion and revolution to every show we play and every song we write, and that means that some discussion of ideas is going to be a part of the process.
		Bands to avoid therefore, for the people who would like hardcore shows to be like mindless television rather than revolution are: Catharsis, Zegota, Timebomb, Ire, and Trial.
		I fully support and endorse all of the bands, publications, and passions emanating from that group of people, and encourage others to get in touch with them/us as well to find out what we are up to.

	FuBARM - Zegota : Movement in the Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		I picked up the cd for traveling ease (though vinyl is available) and went on my merry way, forgetting about the other two bands (Millions of Dead Cops, who annoyed me to the point of me ignoring their set, and some other group from Indiana or Iowa or someplace like that).
		Zegota comes out and says what it means, no hiding behind metaphor and obscurity for these cats.
		At the show (and as at punk shows in general) each song was preceded by a brief monologue on what it was about..and this function is taken care of at home by the extensive liner notes.

	CrimethInc. Cyberia : plastic sound
		Requiem "Storm Heaven" CD Formed from the wreckage of other bands (cough, Catharsis, cough -Ed.) that set out to rescue the world from Western civilization only to end in ashes and defeat, Requiem has refused to record anything until now lest they perpetuate the commodity-oriented stupor that mires the would-be revolutionary underground in verbose inactivity.
		On it, they live up to every bit of promise shown in their previous recordings and performances, delivering a well-crafted eight-song, forty-minute adventure constructed with the rawest of vocals, wall-like guitars, delicate piano and organ sections, drum beats like the heartbeat of an escaped hostage and an unrestrained bass sound to hold it all together.
		Zegota / Movement in the Music CD Zegota and a few bands like them are the life's blood of the next generation of hardcore: their music is anthemic and soulful, cutting edge, innovative enough to sound like no other band; their lyrics are political and passionate, filled with sincerity and youthful idealism.

		The stance of the band is that of a total rejection of government, discrimination, and all types of injustice and mistreatment of humans and animals alike."

	Zegota's bittersweet swan song - Arts & Entertainment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The true test of any band's mettle is their ability to impress during a live performance.
		Zegota, a Greensboro-based band about to depart for an indefinite stay in Sweden, did just that as they played their second-to-last US show last Thursday evening at Gate City Noise on Tate Street.
		The band, according to longtime fan, junior Nate Rose, is "the best eclectic hardcore band in the Southeast." The group wisely decided to cater their show to the whole audience, playing standard favorites and more mainstream selections.

	Record Reviews
		The band can certainly play their instruments, but i was hoping for a bigger and better sound from their EVR debut.
		Here is a band that knows how to mix rock n roll riffs with the intensity of hardcore, and most importantly, knows how to use tempo and beat to their advantage.
		The band videos are pretty good, some of them high quality, some not and the sound is a little bad in some of them, but you do get amazing bands like converge, his hero is gone, the episode, dillinger escape plan, monochrome and more.

		The director of Zegota was Zofia Kossack, and devout Catholic and a prewar novelist whose writings were not without anti-Semitic overtones.
		Indeed, in a leaflet she published in September 1942 titled "Protest," Kossack wrote that the Jews were the enemies of the Polish people but that Poles could not stand by and watch the Jews murdered by the Germans.
		Zegota, which had a branch in Krakow (headed by Stanislaw Dobrowolski), also smuggled food into the Plaszow labor camp and, later, into Oskar Schindler's factory in Brunnlitz, Czechoslovakia.

		ZEGOTA In December 1942, the Council for Aid to the Jews, known clandestinely as Zegota, was established in Warsaw.
		Kossack, who employed her children in Zegota's rescue efforts, was suspected of resistance activities by the Germans and sent to Auschwitz.
		Miriam Peleg-Marianska, a Jewish woman who worked clandestinely for Zegota (Council for Aid to the Jews) in Krakow during the occupation, has written, "The sowing of hatred would not yield a harvest of compassion." When studying the behavior of non-Jews during the Holocaust, we stand at the moral precipice.

		I think that the interview with the members of the band "Zegota" taught me a lot in general but in particular the tranquillity that they showed.
		What Zegota was, they were an underground organization in Poland in ww2, and what they tried to do was give false papers, money and hiding to Jews, political dissidents, gays, whatever, people that the Nazis were persecuting and trying to send to concentration camps.
		We were all very young when we chose the name, and it was, we took it because we were very inspired that there were groups of people out there risking their lives to help other people with nothing to personally gain from it.

		It contains 15 remastered Tracks from their split EP w/ Funeral Diner, the tour split 7" with Racebannon, Anger Is Beautiful, one compilation song, a song from their demo, their own 7" on Crucificados, the split 7" w/ The 244GL and their split LP w/ Blame Game.
		Metallic (and I mean metallic HC in a positive and passionate way, not the testosterone-packed sterile stuff) Screamo-HC that is at times chaotic, crazy, and complicated with a lot of tempi- and break changes, never comfortable and lame, but always merciless, unpredictable and last but not least extremely brutal.

		There is a silver horse with gold hooves in a red field, with a wide fl band about its girth; his tail is turned upright, and his left foreleg and right hind leg are raised a little above the ground, as if walking.
		Zegota had spent a considerable amount of time in foreign lands and with no small profit.
		The clan is called Starykon much as Topór is called Starza by its clan members; Zegota, the count of Sieciechowice, is called Zaprzaniec ("renegade, turncoat"), that is, one repudiated by his brothers.

		No estimate can be given of the magnitude of this form of Aid by Zegota, but it appears to have been great.

		For those of you not familiar with the band, this is soulful, poor boy stoner punk rock at its most artistically mature and emotionally intense.
		The first CD by Greensboro anarcho-punks Blacken the Skies is out now, and the band is touring the eastern half of the U.S.A. with an extensive distribution of CrimethInc.

		It's pretty hard to describe the band's music - it is eclectic and chaotic, yet very passionate and emotional with screams turning into singing and then into spoken word and then into screaming again, blended together with heavy and powerful music.
		People often compare their sound to bands like Poison the Well, At the Drive-In, dEFDUMp, Refused and even Zegota, which only proves how specific their music is.

		The band also has some dates lined up in the coming weeks and will be joined by Alabama Thunder Pussy and the Soul Brains among others on various stops.
		Bands that form with intention of changing the world with music are the only fools.
		It isn't masturbatory to have a political band that doesn't give a shit about recruiting new people for "the cause." It just makes sense, because music isn't any more impersonal just because it might be political in nature.

		Drawing on the legacy of late 90s hardcore bands like Refused and Catharsis (their guitarist was a sometime touring member of Catharsis, actually, and their new record was produced by a member of Refused), they mix up walls of guitars, raw vocals, and drums like the heart beat of an escaped hostage.
		Quietly very influential, we've added them to the bill because they were the first punk band the guys in Zegota ever saw live, and were a big inspiration to them.
		After two years, a few demos and split 7 inches, several UK and European tours, and numerous Scottish gigs, their gutarist will be departing home to Australia.

		Countdown to Putsch are an anarchist hardcore/punk/jazz three-piece whose writings are just as essential to the experience of their band as their music.

		Two brand new songs from the long-running flagship band of eclectic and idealistic hardcore punk: an unabashed street protest anthem entitled “Anarchist Cheerleader Song,” and a spine-tingling cover of the traditional spiritual “Sinner Man” á la Nina Simone.
		Like all their best material—and this really is some of their very best—these songs veer between catchy and haunting, remaining impassioned and frenetic throughout.
		The packaging on this is amazing as you would expect from Crimethinc.
