STOP SLEEPING

Punk flunky, indie drop out, marginally mathy, spacewards or maybe just some 80s fan, Stop Sleeping isn't just a synth and guitar wizard, but also an extremely versatile american singer who can emulate different vocal styles with impressive ease. BROKEN GENERATION's driving force is the Johnny Rotten-style vocals of Stop Sleeping and I believe this is the first of many collabs in the near future. Check out his great songs available on his Soundcloud page:

CHRIS SCHLUE

Chris is an incredibly talented German guitarist and composer, and as if that weren't enough, he's a walking encyclopedia on all things mixing and mastering. Believe me, his ears are absolutely insane for detail and Chris is responsible for the exquisite technical quality of BROKEN GENERATION's mastering. Our next collabs are already in the works, but in the meantime, check out his great individual and band tracks on Soundcloud:

Broken Generation

This is a story of a man who's partner suddenly leaves him.  It feels, to him, that it came out of nowhere - nothing appeared to be wrong.  It's a shock and mystifying, at least at first.  I've known a few of these men.  Mostly they come to understand what happened after a while.

Lyrics:

#Verse
You tell me that you told me I wish I could recall
It's not like I missed a word or two, somehow I missed them all
I am just a child of these times we're living through
And I have learned to doubt some things I once believed were true
I sometimes think I've worked out how we got from there to here
I think that I remember but my memory's not clear
As time goes on I never doubt how much we always cared
How could we forget all those years and everything we shared

#Chorus
I will always love you
You know that is true
No matter where you go
Or what you choose to do
I will search for answers
I'll try to comprehend
How could I have been so thoughtless
As to lose my greatest friend

#Verse
On the day that you left, I didn't understand
That the home we had created had all been built on sand
I felt shock, complete surprise because we hadn't been in strife
And I'd always thought we'd last as long as my entire life
There's a kind of emtiness that swallows hope and pride
Like a black hole in my spirit that can't be satisfied
I lived there for a while when first I was alone
I only slowly reemerged to find my way back home

#Chorus
I will always love you
You know that is true
No matter where you go
Or what you choose to do
I will search for answers
I'll try to comprehend
How could I have been so thoughtless
As to lose my greatest friend

#Verse
Since that final day I've been learning how to feel
It's new and strange and I wonder how much of it is real
As I emerge from the gloom I know one thing is true
I'll always be grateful for the gift of knowing you

A distorted confession from the shadows...
Feed My Eyes dives into obsession, beauty, and the pain of seeing too much.

It’s raw, dark, and unapologetically human, somewhere between grunge and confession.

The story continues on YouTube, where Sophie and I bring every song to life:

Verse
I feel the static
Crawling in my skin
A hollow hunger
Where do I begin
Feed my eyes
I can't see the truth
Lost in the shadows
Devoured by youth

[Chorus]
Feed my eyes
Feed my lies
Burn the stars
Watch the skies
Feed my eyes
Let me drown
Pull me up
Drag me down

[Verse 2]
Rust on my tongue
I taste decay
A thousand voices
All in disarray
Feed my eyes
Stitch the seams
The world is bleeding
Unraveling dreams

[Prechorus]
Hold me close
Push me away
I’m begging for night
I’m craving the day

[Chorus]
Feed my eyes
Feed my lies
Burn the stars
Watch the skies
Feed my eyes
Let me drown
Pull me up
Drag me down

[Bridge]
The mirror cracks
The smoke it curls
A broken man in a shattered world
Feed my eyes
But starve my soul
A bottomless pit
I lose control

Feed My Eyes

Sometimes life forces you to choose right now. It hurts and it feels like a sudden death. Even if you don’t understand it yet - one day you’ll see it was meant to be. Sudd

Sudden Death

Won't Cry (Cover) -The Crameleo Disco

"Love Left Behind" is a raw, unflinching look at the moment of absolute finality. It's a dark toast to everything that was and everything that will never be again. This track dives into the crushing weight of a love lost, the helplessness in watching a downfall, and the desperate, self-destructive desire to drink the painful memories dry. It's a final, shared glass of wine with a ghost.

Love Left Behind

 Perdona

Cuando soñaba mirando al mar,
en aquella playa desierta,
ausente por completo del lugar,
pues mi mente no estaba despierta,
vi una figura en lontananza
que poco a poco se acercaba
a donde yo me encontraba:
me puse en pie, te reconocí 
y eché a correr hacia ti.

Estribillo

Perdona, lo siento,
Te dije ansioso
Tranquilo, lo entiendo,
Estabas nervioso.
Cuántos poderosos lazos
se rompieron sin razón,
pero al fin hicimos caso
a la voz del corazón.
------------------
Las suaves olas besaban la piel
la arena acariciaba
con un suave masaje nuestros pies
y la brisa nos mimaba la cara
en un paseo maravilloso
donde hablamos ya sin enojo,
sin rastro de malos rollos,
de evitar cualquier sinvivir
que nos haga volver a decir.

Estribillo

Forgive Me

When I dreamed, gazing at the sea,
on that deserted beach,
completely absent from the place,
for my mind was not awake,
I saw a figure in the distance
that slowly approached
where I stood:
I stood up, recognized you
and ran towards you.

Chorus

Forgive me, I'm sorry,
I told you anxiously.
Relax, I understand,
You were nervous.

How many powerful bonds
were broken for no reason,
but in the end we listened
to the voice of our hearts.

----------------

The gentle waves kissed our skin,
the sand caressed
our feet with a soft massage,
and the breeze pampered our faces
on a wonderful walk
where we spoke without anger,
without a trace of bad feelings,
avoiding any unease
that would make us say it again.

Chorus

Perdona

Lyrics:

I need more
Feed me more

(with) Dopamine addictions
(and) empty false predictions

Thriving in content endlessly
Scrolling through the void
Giving rights to technocracy
filling hole in my soul

One thing to learn about
Is that there is nothing to learn

There is nothing to be sought

eyes see only those things that blocks the light x2

play empty games, win empty prize
different feeling - same demon
Feed me your crypto slop like echoborg enslaved

--
I need more
Feed me more

(with) Dopamine addictions
(and) empty false predictions


Drowning in content endlessly
Swimming through the void
Giving rights to empty mind
filling hole in my soul

One thing to learn about
Is that there is nothing to learn

There is nothing to be sought
from the mind of echoborg

Echoborg (Demo)

Multi-instrumentalist, born 1979 and involved in music since early 90's.
Started in piano school and shared interest in drumming. Since my parents were not happy with drumming in my room, tried guitar and voila! found my main instrument.

Formed first band around 1993 with drummer Davor Radovec called "Decorator" which later grew in beast called "Deaf Auditorium", did couple of songs together but parted ways because of mutual misunderstanding and goals.

Somewhere 1997 formed my first heavy metal band "Pro-Maya" and wrote all songs, except lyrics which were written by Marko Curman (Cuki). First real studio recording with band was late 1999 named Tales of warning. Due to crazy circumstances in life Band disbanded somewhere 2003.

Since than played as session guitarist/bassist when needed for recordings or live performances. Like playing with "Forlorn Legacy" while their bass player served army for a year for live shows. Played in multiple genre bands from punk, rock, metal, jazz mostly either guitar or bass. Also working in studio Memphis in Zagreb as tonmeister/sound engineer. With sometimes working on movies/documentaries as sound recordist.

In 2010 formed 2 man experimental improvisational metal-jazz-noise band "qb" with legend Marko Martinovic (Bik) as drummer, where we experimented with sound. And we got crazy singer Sasa Jungic (Jungla). 

Around 2014 joined Soundcloud and was interested in improvisational music. I would find drums beat from various artists on youtube and improvised guitars and bass. Challenge was to record every instrument in just one take without any post production makeup or hiding errors, mostly done in Garage Band. Fun journey that lasted about 2 years, and after I moved to Norway in search for better job my music got radio silent and did not play much for about 5 years.

By beginning of 2023 realised that music is big part of my life and came back into playing, but with more serious take on composing, songwriting and production. Broke silence with song Waves and continuing to investigate dwellings of sound and emotion. 

My music taste goes all the way around and trying to collide genres to reveal god particle, still considering music that I do as experimental form. Hardly being able to stick to one genre.

Darmar with some literal translation from Croatian means chaos. Name kinda fits music style.
