In seara de 25 Decembrie 2008, dupa un extraordinar concert de colinde, alaturi de formatia Niste Baieti, Cosmin (Pokemon), vocalul formatiei Recycle Bin, a plecat dintre noi.
Cosmin a fost pentru toti un prieten, dar pentru unii un frate. A iubit oamenii, viata si nu in ultimul rand muzica.
A fost sufletul formatiei Recycle Bin.
A plecat, dar spiritul lui a ramas alaturi de noi. De aceea, formatia Recycle Bin nu se opreste aici. Cosmin a vrut sa faca foarte multe pentru scena underground din tarisoara asta. Aceste lucruri vor fi acum facute de ceilalti membrii ai formatiei Recycle Bin.
Formatia Recycle Bin va reveni foarte curand pe scena si in plus va continua toate proiectele lui Cosmin.
Cosmin va ramane alaturi de noi mereu si ne va da puterea sa facem tot ce ne-am propus, sa mergem inainte, sa mergem acolo unde ar fi vrut si el sa mearga.
POKEMON-Cosmin-Antoniu HURDUBETIU, fratele nostru de bucurii, suferinte si sprituri, vei fi mereu in inimile noastre!
Noi suntem adunatura de betivi: Pokemon – primadona sefa, prieten cu Monserrat Cabale (stiti voi… fetita aceea dolofana cu suflet mare), X-u’ - un tobosar deosebit cu alura de cautator profund de restaurante si bodegi, Bitza - un chitarist atent, grijuliu si studios, rar bea vodka, in rest camioane de bere si Grim - o incercare timida de basist protestatar, iubitor de animale caruia ii place munca cat va place voua ebola. Intr-un cuvant : Pokemon and the Bastards! Astfel am ajuns la concluzia ca numele trupei sa fie englezit - Recycle Bin - deoarece noi interpretam in gunoi iar resturile menajere provin de pe tot globul… noi primindu-le cu caldura alaturi.
Am aparut din cenusa odioasa a muzicii punk romanesti prin fuziunea Pokemonului cu 2 dintre membri ex-trupei Buzz ce urau visceral muzica emo ( Bitza si X-u’) si cu anarho punkistul Grim, ce activeaza la modul senzational in trupa Cobe.
Am inceput sa zanganim impreuna din 18 martie 2007, si de atata voie buna si inspiratie divina s-a nascut albumul Stupidity Tour, un fel de street punk cu conotatii comice, caci na, asa sta bine asupritului din estul Europei (inca odata multumim trupei italiene de street punk Los Fastidios, colegii nostrii mai sus pusi).
Stupidity Tour este un fel de recital amatoricesc in care noi zbieram despre prostie si prosti, despre cat de ignoranti putem fi noi sau altii, emisiuni tampite si tot felul de tacaneli.
Suntem siguri ca nu ne-am fi putut manifesta imensul nostru talent culturalo- muzical si epic fara ajutorul si sustinerea lui: Stoi, trupei Niste baieti, sau fara ce am acumulat pe parcursul turneelor de punk adevarat cu Molotov Cocktail. Am observat ca lumea se distreaza in general pe triada noastra muzicala, asa ca urmeaza sa protestam, sa dansam si sa ocaram prostii in continuare.
NOTA DE CALCUL:
Din Septembrie 2007 s-a insinuat in mirobolanta formatie, Levi (Los Pogos), care a apucat cu nadejde si pricepere chitara armonie de 25 de mii de Euro, punctand supraistoric existenta acestei adunaturi. Odata cu venirea lui, Recycle Bin a capatat inaltime si la propriu si la figurat. Va multumim ca ne lasati sa va stricam petecerile!
POKEMON & YHE BASTARDS
************************
SI A VENIT FATIDICUL AN 2008, IAR NOI, IN CALITATE DE ADUNATURA DE BASTARZI, AM INCEPUT SA LUCRAM LA AL 2-LEA ALBUM: POKEMON & THE BASTARDS (finalizat in luna iunie 2008 si cu lansarea in septembrie 2008). NUMELE LUI ESTE STRIGATUL LUI STOI, CA REACTIE LA VIETILE PRIETENELOR ANUMITOR MEMBRII AI FORMATIEI SI NU IN ULTIM RAND CHIAR LA VIATA COMPONENTILOR, SUPUSI PROCESULUI ALERT DE DEGRADARE PE MOTIVE DE PUNK ROCK, POKEMON SAU SPRITZEN. ALBUMUL ESTE O DESCRIERE EXPRIMATA IN LIMBA ROMANA, ENGLEZA SAU ITALIANA IMPOTRIVA IGNORANTEI UMANE, CAMATARILOR LEGALI SAU PROSTIEI. ESTE UN STRIGAT AL PRIETENIEI SI SINCERITATII IMPOTRIVA ROBOTIZARII UMANITATII, O INCERCARE DE STOPARE A UNOR EVENTUALE RELATII CONJUGALE SI EXTRACONJUGALE ALE UNUI OM CU MASINA DE SPALAT, SAU A HARDULUI CU SORA MEA. PE SCURT ESTE UN REFUZ AL NOSTRU SA NE COMPLACEM IN MIZERIA CARE NE INCONJOARA. REFUZUL PE CAT POSIBIL DE A NE BALACI CU ZAMBETUL PE BUZE IN SISTEMUL SOCIAL ERMETIZAT INTINS DE AUTORITATI.
HEI INFECTILOR: SUNTEM FIINTE UMANE, AVEM SENTIMENTE!
VA MULTUMIM CA REFUZATI SA FITI SPALATI PE CREIER!
On 25th December 2008 night, after the best carol show ever, along with Niste Baieti band, Cosmin (Pokemon), Recycle Bin's lead vocal, passed away.
Cosmin was for many people a friend, but for some of us he was a brother. He loved people, he loved life and music. He was the soul for Recycle Bin band. He passed away, but his soul is still with us. That's why Recycle Bin band is not stopping here. Cosmin was trying to do a lot of things for underground scene from this little country. These things will be done now by the other members of the band.
Recycle Bin band will come very soon on the scene and they will continue all Cosmin's projects.
Cosmin will always be in our souls and he will give us the power to make all the projects, to go straight ahead, to go where he wanted to go with us.
POKEMON-Cosmin-Antoniu HURDUBETIU, our joy brother, sadness and drinks, you will always be in our hearts.
We are a gang of drunks: Pokemon – chief primadona, friend with monserat cabale (you know, that chubby little girl with a big soul), X’u – a special drummer, with a special thing for restaurants and bars, Bitza – an attentive and hard working quitar player, with a special addiction to tones of beer and Grim – a bass player with protest skills that loves animals and music. In a simple expression: Pokemon and the bastards! aka Recycle Bin, because we sing in a garbage can where the misery comes from around the Globe.
We are born from the ashes of Romanian punk, with the fusion of Pokemon with ex Buzz band members (Bitza and X’u) and Grim, bass player in Cobe band. We started up in March 2007 and with the inspiration and friends help we managed to write an album entitled “Stupidity Tour”, a little street punk, a little fun, like the “trend” in south-eastern Europe (we would like to thank Los Fastidios band, our collegues in front). „Stupidity tour” is like a show made by some amateurs, in wich we yell about stupidity and stupid people, about ignorance in our self and others, stupid TV shows and other important stuff. We know that we couldn’t have reached the music industry without our friends: Stoi, Niste Baieti band or Molotov Cocktail band.
We have notice that people have fun at our gigs and for that we will continue to protest, sing, dance and yell.
Since September 2007 he made his way into the amazing band: Levi (Los Pogos), who grabbed with determination and skill the 25000 euro quitar, marking the existance of this group in a way that transcends history. Once Recycle Bin joined the group, this became higher - figuratively speaking as well.
Thank You for letting us fuck your parties!
POKEMON & THE BASTARDS
************************
AND THE PROPHETIC YEAR 2008 IS HERE, AND WE, LIKE THE BUNCH OF BASTARDS, STARTED WORKING ON OUR SECOND ALBUM: POKEMON AND THE BASTRADS (finalized in june 2008 and with its release in september 2008). ITS NAME IS STOI’S OUTCRY AS A REACTION TO THE LIVES OF SOME OF THE MEMBER’S GIRLFRIENDS AND NOT LASTLY, EVEN TO THE LIVES OF THE MEMEBERS, SUBJECTED TO THE ALERT DEGRADING PROCESS SET FORTH BY PUNK ROCK, POKEMON OR SPRITZEN. THE ALBUM IS A DESCRIPTION, EXPRESSED IN ROMANIAN, ENGLISH OR ITALIAN, AGAINST HUMAN IGNORANCE, LEGAL MONEYLENDERS OR STUPIDITY, IT IS FRIENDSHIP AND HONESTY’S OUCRY AGAINST HUMANITY’S ROBOTIZATION, AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE EVENTUAL CONJUGAL OR EXTRA-CONJUGAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN A MAN AND A WASHING MACHINE OR A HARD DRIVE’S WITH MY SISTER. TO PUT IT SHORTLY, IT IS OUR REFUSAL TO ACCEPT THE FILTH THAT SURROUNDS US AND TO WALLOW SMILINGLY IN A HERMETICAL SOCIAL SYSTEM PROVIDED BY THE AUTHORITIES.
HEY DICKHEADS! WE’RE HUMAN BEINGS…WE’VE GOT FEELINGS!
WE THANK YOU FOR REFUSING TO BE BRAINWASHED!

Emisiunea Antidot, de la Radio Lynx, de sambata 12 septembrie, ora 16, va fi dedicata scenei punk autohtone, avand ca invitati membrii ai trupelor Recycle Bin si Niste Baieti. Vom discuta in principal despre PokeFest, evenimentul dedicat memoriei fostului solist de la Recycle Bin, Cosmin Hurdubetiu aka Poke, ce se va desfasura saptamana viitoare, pe 19 septembrie, in Fabrica.
Membrii formaţiei provin din scena Nardcore, ei făcând parte în trecut din componenţa unor trupe ca NOFX, Agression, Ill Repute, Bad Samaritans, Dr. Know şi JUGHEAD’S REVENGE. După cum spunea o descriere imaginaţi-vă un hibrid între GG Alin şi Elvis plecând în turneu cu a lui “Takin’ Care of Punk Band”. În 2008 au lansat albumul “Back from The Dead” A Punk Elvis Tribute din al cărui nume e destul de usor de intuit “sound”-ul formaţiei, sau nu dupa cum spune acest review, asteptaţi-vă să fiţi plăcut surprinşi!
