For the line-up of Ejekt we wrote last Tuesday in a related article, which emerged from what had been written in Ejekt's page on Facebook.
Whoever expected Aracde Fire and other new names will probably be disappointed, because Faith no More, the Bad Religion and Unkle are bands of 00s or 10s. Of course, this does not detract from the value of all three groups. Indeed, as correctly written in the following press release, the Bad Religion is a repressed by the Greek public, following their appearance in "Rock of Gods" in 1996. We are talking about a great band just like Faith no More, of course!
Moreover, the fact that the Festival was limited to one day this year rather the result of last year's not-so-good course. Even if I wanted cheaper prices on tickets, I hope and believe it will go well this year Ejekt, because we need it.

FAITH NO MORE
BAD RELIGION

ZEBRA TRACKS
OBOJENI PROGRAM
Rumors had been going on for some time time but seemed too good to be true. And yet confirmed: the Faith No More and Unkle was just the beginning. The Bad Religion is a co-headlining name of Ejekt Festival 2010.
15 years after their first appearance in our country, the return of Bad Religion was one of the frustrations of concerts punk, rock, alternative and metal together. And how could it not be when Bad Religion mean 30 years punk-rock and the biggest name of the species with the global success that paved the way for Offspring, Rancid, NOFX and many others.
The Bad Religion is the exception to the rule punk-rock band: singer Greg Graffin teaches at the University of California and the guitarist Brett Gurevitz is the owner of the famous record label Epitaph, from where sprang the entire vintage of punk/punk- rock bands who worked in the 90s and 00s. Logically, therefore, why they were the band that grafted a "rough" style of music with social, personal lyrics and melodic vocals, and thus managed to bring it into powerful then MTV and so on teenagers around the world, breaking the walls of the time. Their success and the respect given by too many bands demonstrate the importance and size.
The line-up of Ejekt 2010 complement our own Zebra Tracks and Serbs Obojeni Program, the groups that won the parallel competitions that were held in the two countries in April, with the prize of participation in two festivals.
The first CD single of Zebra Tracks entitled "Silicone Valley / Borealis Fallacia" sold 700 copies in 2006, making them one of the rising names in indie music of our country. Last October they released their first album "A family picture from ... Zebra Tracks". They toured all over Greece and developed along with Placebo, Television Personalities, Levellers and abroad, the Urban Fest Osijek (Croatia).
The Obojeni Program is the favorite band of Exit Festival, and has performed all the years that it's being held. Starting in the 80s with influences from bands like The Fall, Television, Gang of Four, they are the top alternative band of the former Yugoslavia, with 5 records and european tours to their credit, video-clip has played in the legendary show "120 Minutes" MTV's and have been heard in the show of the great John Peel.
