Kritická Situace, or Critical Situation, were from the Czech Republic. This is their one LP from what I can tell… Everything I can find on the internet is in Czech. They used to have a website, but it’s gone… You might be able to find it on the Wayback Machine, but I didn’t feel like looking.
Musically, Kritická Situace aren’t too far off from 4 Walls Falling. Melodic hardcore, with youth-crew and metal influences. I know my old band was greatly influenced by their song-writing, especially in the early days…

I can fill up some blanks if you want to, I understand czech and my friend was actually in Kriticka Situace, so I have the info straight from the source. So if you want to let me know! stepan
@stepan: anything you could add would be awesome! Feel free to leave any relevant info in the comments.
I would love know know more about this band. I own their full length but have never been able to find much about them. Is it true that they played punk rock while the Czech Republic was still behind the iron curtain, and did so in secret, and under constant threat of arrest? That's something I heard once, and that legend has always added to the urgency and passion of this amazing, overlooked band.
