STRAIGHT x EDGE from Varna, BULGARIA
Divorced Friends' home page

We started as a band in 1995 on a party in my house. By this time I was very unpopular and like every other unpopular kid I used to like very popular bands, like therapy, nirvana, exploited, and even metallica. Good thing I was only 15 and I did this party, otherwise Stoyan (drums, vocals) and Peter (vocals, guitar) wouldn't see me. I had my guitar on this party - my first electric guitar that I bought just to be cool ya know. I knew how to play some songs, and, as later Peter said in one interview - "We liked him." It was March 1995, we were from the same school and we all wanted to do something different than the others. That's how probably the name came from "DIVORCED FRIENDS" - different from everything else you have heard of. Our first song was "Tender cry" a song about a boy that wants to be part of everything. It is a simple song, and that's why we never recorded it, but it was the beginning. After that an unbelievable change in my life occurred. We did some really cool songs and we went on a concert. As you can suppose our first concert sucked, but I felt the emotion and anxiety of being in a band. We started working harder, more song came out, and finally we've built up our own style, that mixes hard core, alternative, and punk's basic ideas in one unique combination - "DIVORCED FRIENDS." But it wasn't only the band, the relationship between us grew, I found out that the world is so big and most of the things I thought are important were not really important. I mean - I realized that the music you listen to doesn't make you special or better that the others. It is the ideas expressed in the songs that make you the cool person. Then the "LIGHTNING" (remember SNAPCASE's famous song where everything stops and then you hear one powerful thing and it is: "LIGHTNING") came: STRAIGHT X EDGE. Stoyan was already sXe and he kinda showed me the right way.
