"Dear friends - welcome! I would need your attention for couple of minutes before you start browsing my images.
I love shooting live gigs, mostly DIY shows, I prefer small bands and venues rather then famous names and stages. Actually I hate big bands or bands who are doing this shit for money or fame! However I am amateur and I am doing this for free! I have never charged any band for anything! If you need high resolution picture of your band let me know and I will email it to you, the only thing I am asking for is to let me know where it goes and drop me jpg after you use it for artwork or poster etc. If you want to book me to shoot your band, drop me a line, add me on quest list + 1 and buy me a drink, you cant get it cheaper then that haha or support me by buying one of my books Black sheep or Untitled, well they are almost sold out anyway, but I still have couple of copies left at home! Enjoy the pictures and let me know how you like them! I love negative and positive feedbacks!
Big FUCK YOU to bands who think they are bigger then world especially when they are making fun of shooters and then using pictures to promote their shitty faces! Cocks!

"Po roce je konecne venku další císlo split zinu, na kterém se podílí jíž roky spríznené duše Honza Samuel a Jesus. Nejen formátove me ovane vzpomínka na zlaté casy Defendru. Tu nejvetší sílu tohoto casáku vidím v žánrové rozma-
nitosti nejen hudeb-
ních stylu, kterou se tady hoši ohání. Což je velká slabina všech dosud vycházejících plátku. Nebát se prekrocit svuj již tak úzce vymezený písecek...
...Ten tentokrát (a musím ríct, že ku prospechu veci) o proti minulému císlu více vsadil na text a rozhovory, na úkor svým grafickým projevum. Sympatické na tomto císlu je vlastní uvažovaní a ne jen kopírování zavedených mnohdy pekne klišovitých názoru...
...A jak už je zvykem tak nikoho neprekvapí porádný nášup Jesusových fotek, grafik a témat/úvah...
"
JIRZA/Czechcore.cz

"Stejne jako minulý císlo, zin, který jsem otevrel, a zahlcen do nej, jsem ho docetl s otevrenou tlamou až do poslední stránky. Ani zde nejde o Samueluv hudební vkus, kterej je mi znacne simpatickej, ale spíš o formu tohodle zinu, specifickej styl kterym je psanej, sloupky, graf. úpravu a vše vubec..pro me jednoznacne stejne jako minulý císlo umelecký dílo, který me pohladí na duši a jedna z vecí, která me nadále, i pres všechny ty sracky kolem, dává sílu mít porád rád HC/punk..." FUEGO

"Ted fakt objektivne a co nejvic nestranne. Ja nevim, ale me prijde treba rozhovor s Tomasem hodne jednostranne zaujatej. ja tenhle zin pohrbil po poslednim cislu prave diky Jesusove pulce. Mel jsem proste pocit ze by mela byt takova, jake byli posledni 2 strany a bylo by to v pohode. Nicmene...po precteni casti noveho cisla nelamu nad nim hul, ale porad nemuzu vystat Limokid pulku. " MIKITA/Deadbutcher rec.

"This makes me wish I could read Czech. It looks great! I love the horizontal half-page format and I think in general the layout looks better than our zine. Its fresh and clean and professional, but still maintain a nice punk aesthetic. There are nice pictures and illustrations on almost every page, so even if you cant read the language it will still give you a nice glimpse into a distant and foreign scene. I think its fucking great and I cant wait to share it with friends who can read it to me and tell me more about it." ex-HEARTATTACK, FIL

"Musim povedat, ze ste to zmakli peckovo , neviem preco ale strasne mi to pripomina defender, alebo take tie 90ties ceske ziny, je to hodne ine a hodne dobre, takze zmekam klobuk podarilo sa ti/vam spravit nieco nove a nieco ine a zaroven dobre, musim povedat, ze tvoja strana, je dost taka rypava, do ludi a aby zacali mysliet, teda skor zamyslat sa nad tym o co v zivote, ide, aky to ma zmysel a tak,musim povedat, ze som nad tym rozmyslal a to uz sa mi pri zine, hodne dlho nestalo." TOMI "TRASHER"

"Split fanzin Samuel/xJesusx - hezká grafika, recenze, a mimo jiné rozhovor s Krepim. Delaný s láskou a je to videt!" SILVER ROCKET

"Takhle vec me fakt potesila po dvou letech rekneme klinicke smrti prislo znovuzrozeni tohoto sympatickeho platku. Limokid vychazi uz od roku 1998 a moc dobre si pamatuji kdyz jsem s nim poprve prisel do kontaktu, rekneme ze jsem z neho byl vyplesklej jako treba z Hluboke Orby. Kdyz ctete radky uvnitr, rozhovory, glosy a treba i jen uvodnik, citite, ze to jde Jesusovi od srdce, ze to ma proste v maliku a vi jak to podat, aby jste si jeden vecer pustili do usi vasi oblibenou muziku a prekousli to najednou. A inspirovat se muzete i obsahem casaku. Nehledejte zadne recenze na desky ci tak neco, tohle je spise osobni zpoved ci vylev jednoho borca slovaka v Anglii a pokud mate radi casaky, ktere jsou spise takoveho "soukromnejsiho" razu, schanejte, mozna jeste v distru uspejete."

"I love the different approaches and diversity each photographer has taking and how they work well together to create this book. It really captures the Hardcore music scene and the sense of energy and even the danger of attending these shows. As a photographer and a fan myself this book as really inspired me. It shows that perfectly technical images are not always the best way to capture the emotion and love for the thing your photographing.
I hope one day I can create an equally exciting body of work myself."
Kate Pettitt / photographer

"It presents a realistic embodiment of the hardcore scene, all its movtives and bliefs. portraying the realisum that surrounds the scene and provides new understanding. an inspirational pieces of work even to those who do not truely understand what it captures for it shows a much greater depth than simply photography. " Bobby Cole / designer

"Got the book through in the post today. Awesome stuff, Go buy it!" Amber Lockyer

"Nice work everybody...I like the book very much!" Ondrej Bam Bam Barcik

"I did get the book, its wicked thank you very much. I do have to say i was gutted that there where no pic's with me in because you have taken so many with me in over the years but the photos in there are amazing! I might add my guitarist and bass palyer are both in it, they where very pleased haha!" Fergus Simonds/Fort Vallance

"The book is awsome! Keep up the good work!" Jessica Hopper

"It's pay day in a week or so, therefore unfortinately i haven't got one yet! I've looked through chris' a loads of times though, its so good! Everyones work is amazing but different! It's wicked to have a book that documents 'the scene', 'our world' how ever anyone would describe it! :) It really is awesome!! Isabelle White

"Tak mozem povedat za mna osobne, ze mne sa to velmi paci. Uz len to, ze su to prace od viacerych ludi mi pride ako fajn koncept. Zaujalo ma, ze su tam aj tie texty, to hodnotim pozitivne, fotky samozrejme super, neni o com. Možno by mohlo byt o každom z Vás nieco napísané, to by napriklad pre mna bolo zaujimave. No a v porovnani napr s Ciernymi ovcami je to urcite ako keby viac "profi" spravene, teda ta tazka vazba a tak, ze ma to proste styl, je to take luxusne, ne naky "zine" Carpath Bears distro/Peto




"Kupil som ju asi pred pol-tristvrte rokom a je to povynnost!fakt vydarene dielo. Dakujem všetkím co ešte pre HC nieco robia zo srdca."

"I really, really like what you did, and man - your book is FAR from being crap! what's that about? I understand the part about wanting to save on production costs, but personally I even like the paper. so there." Thomas GLW/DRK

"Our buddy Roman Laris has put together a book on his photography about UKHC, hardcore worldwide and good times. Make sure you take the time to watch it considering how much of his time he has put into the book taking photos for your bands and friends. Be sure to grab a copy" NO DICE / UK band.

"Knihu mam uz od leta doma a mozem povedat, ze lepsie a akcnejsie koncertovky som jakziv nevidel. Neviem kolko objektivov Roman pri tom foteni v moshpite znicil, ale urcite to stalo zato, zelam vela stastia do dalsieho cvakania a vy, ktori tento skvost este nevlastnite sup-sup objednavajte kupujte sirte dobre slovo a uz teraz sa tesim na Black sheep II " Hedo Nista

„Ein Foto, unabhängig von Kultur und Sprache, ist in seiner Bedeutung offen, das Wort ist festgelegt. Anders ausgedrückt: Das Bild ist konkret und das Wort bleibt abstrakt“, hat der deutsche Grafikdesigner Wolfgang Beinert einmal gesagt, und vor diesem Hintergrund ist es nur konsequent, dass der im slowakischen Tyrnau geborene und in London lebende Roman Laris bei der ersten Veröffentlichung seiner Konzertfotos in Buchform fast komplett auf Sprache verzichtet. Obwohl der Herausgeber eines Straight-Edge-Fanzines um die politische Dimension der Punk- und Hardcore-Szene weiß, wie das knappe Vorwort beweist, geht es ihm bei seiner Schwarz/Weiß- Fotografie vor allem darum, die Energie einzufangen, die entsteht, wenn Bands wie BANE, CRO-MAGS, RISE AND FALL, THIS IS HELL, SINKING SHIPS, DARKEST HOUR oder GOOD CLEAN FUN (um nur die größten Namen zu nennen) in einem kleinen Club auf ihr Publikum treffen. Laris ist kein gelernter Fotograf und gibt ganz offen zu, das falsche Papier für sein Buch verwendet zu haben, weshalb manche Bilder leider ein wenig zu dunkel geworden sind, aber wer sich daran stört, kann sich ja Promofotos junger Bands auf Epitaph Records anschauen.
Thomas Renz by Ox-Fanzine

"Konecne som sa dostal k Tvojej knizocke. Viem o Tvojich pocitoch a je to skoda s tym kontrastom, s tym mozem suhlasit. Ale inak parada!!! Mam pocit, ze to niektorym fotkam mozno trosku aj pridalo!!! A to myslim uprimne. No a je tam vsetko, co by clovek v takejto publikacii ocakaval. Fakt perfekt. No a clovek, co mi to kupoval na Slovensku hovoril, ze to v Artfore nenormalne vychvaluju... Takze este raz gratulujem!" Maros Herc / fotograf

"Pista Vandal priniesol tvoju knihu, uz som sa jej nevedel dockat a skutocne naplnila moje ocakavania do poslednej bodky, fotky su super, beriem ako inspiraciu do mojho vlastneho cvakania" Belltownfoto.tk

"Knizky dorazili dnes, uz si ju prezeram asi 50ty krat za sebou. Je UZASNA! Klobuk dole!!!" Slimak MSR

"Knihu sme si uz zakupili hned ako vysla a bola este zabalena v celofane. Myslim, ze spokojnost moze byt velka, kedze su tam obsiahnute kapely, ktore funguju a pozname ich aj osobne. Takze myslim, ze velmi dobre dielo na nasej malej scene! "Puky - Lord Alex/Kotuce DM

"The book is bloody amazing! Nice work!" Max - Hello Bastards

"Thank so much for the book. All I can say is wow! I would like to buy two more copies to give to my friends" Mary Commitment distro

"Fantastické a pritom neštylyzované, plne autentické fotografie väcšinou mladých hardcorových kapiel." Artforum.sk

"Silným potenciálem téhle knížky je ucelenost a vyváženost. To podstatné mají všechny fotky spolecné - energii! Zaznamenávají okamžiky, co byly - na ruzných místech, s ruznými lidmi a také sdelení je nadcasové." Honza - Samuel rec.
