JULIETTE was active between 2000 and 2004 in Puławy and was part of the impressive DIY
scene in the Lublin/Puławy region. Part of the band’s line-up at the time was also involved in
other groups such as the well-known ANTICHRIST or 33 ROTATIONS. Juliette’s sound was
rooted in the tradition of US and French emo-hardcore of the 90s, but with its own strong
“eastern” twist. Their musical presentation was raw, penetrating and moving. Devoid of sterility
and politeness, their sound departed from sugary emo/pop. It was instead a completely different
form of expression from the tough-sounding hardcore that seemed to define the whole
phenomenon at the time. They were listened to and appreciated by different factions of the
scene, which at the time boldly intermingled. They reminded us that punk was also about
emotion and sensibility.
Active over the course of several years, the band performed in many parts of the country and was
one of the few bands from Poland to perform at the Ieper HC Fest in Belgium. The band’s
musicians went on to play in other groups such as PANACEA, USP and AFTERBIRTH. Members
can currently be seen in BLISS, DIARY OF LAURA PALMER and YELL.
This retrospective ‘Memories Fade’ LP contains all of the material released on Refuse Records on
the CD ‘Somewhere in the East’ in 2004 along with four out of the five tracks from the band’s
2001 debut demo. The album comes with a download code with all of that material as well as an
additional live track that was never recorded in the studio.
All of this has been packaged with subtle artwork along with an additional booklet. The record
was remastered by Haldor at Satanic Audio. Photographs included were taken over the years by
Mike Champagne.
