MESSERSCHMITT (1987-)
Messerschmitt were one of the bands that became relatively known much wider than inside the croatian borders. Born in the last years of the past state (Yugoslavia), Messerschmitt were created by Miro Kusacic, a person well known inside the Pula Rock scene of the 80s (Pusteni S Lanca, Boykot Fur, WGP) and were dedicated to a completely new musical path for Miro, Garage Blues Rock. Through the years, the band constantly changed the personnel, except for Miro who was the constant prom the beginning to the (possible) end. Even after years of inactivity, the status of the band is still unknown. Meanwhile, Miro started his new band JUNKERS 5.

CANNONE (2001-)
Cannone aka Hrvoje Levak is surely the most active and successful rapper from Pula, with a respectful number of albums from 2003 on. All his stuff is sung in croatian language, which gives him a bigger note of originality. On the last album "Apokalistra", Cannone sampled one of the most known song by istrian Pop singer Alen Vitasovic, "Ja ne gren".

NOLA (1993-)

Nola is one of the most popular bands from Pula ever. Founded in 1993. by one of the most romantic pair around, Gabrijela and Marijan Jelenic, this electro-acoustic band quickly topped the radio-charts with their first huge hit "Dio Tebe", a song that nowadays is in the top ten of the most played songs on the radio of the croatian history. Every further album brought Nola another huge hit and acknowledgements wherever they played. Gabi is elected as the best croatian female rock singer in 1998, and the song "Iznad Oblaka" as croatian song of the year 2009. Seems like there is no stop for their successful carreer.
Their last huge hit, the beautiful song "Iznad oblaka" is another video recorded in the streets of Pula, as well as at the Pula train station (The picture up is taken at the video recording session)
And "Iznad Oblaka" videotaped by me, at last year`s Spancirfest in Varazdin.

RADIO AKTIV (2009-)
A relatively young band formed in Pula, but with a Pula/Zagreb line-up, very successful in the whole country. Very shortly after the beginning they played at the national demo bands-competition, where they won and after their first album was released, they became one of the bands with the biggest number of radio airplays in the last two years. Very melodic and mainstream Ska-Pop Rock.
The video is filmed in the streets of the centre of Pula:
CD "Grije Nas Isto Sunce" 2012
CD "Stvarnost Između Reklama" 2015

TUD Imbjecili was a one-off project of 3 members of Devastation (Chriss, Elizabeta and me), planned for playing Punk and Hardcore covers. We rehearsed more or less around 70 songs spanning from Exploited and GBH to Raw Power and Finnish Hardcore. The project played only one show together with Pneumonia. We never recorded any audio trace, but videotaped that only gig (and not even complete!).
