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:

TUD IMBJECILI (1989)

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!).

MONAH (1985-)

Monah are veterans of the Pula`s Hard Rock scene. Formed in 1982, with numerous line-up changes and long pauses, they still play after almost 30 years, continuing their Hard Rocking with great live shows.

MONTE PARADISO COMMUNITY (1992-)

Monte Paradiso is the name of a non-profit community/collective formed by a group of Punk/Hc enthusiasts from Pula, successfully functioning almost 22 years now. Except for organising concerts of more or less known Punk bands from all over the world, the community helds the southern Europe`s most important Punk festival "Monte Paradiso" (at its 21st edition this year!!) as well as a great AntiFa festival in autumn every year.

As I said, by now the Punk festival "Monte Paradiso" came to its 21st edition, and it will be held next weekend in Pula, with headliners such as the legendary Sweden`s masters of fast Hardcore MOB 47 and britains RESTARTS. By now, many known names played at this festival, such as Subhumans (UK), Extinction Of Mankind, Conflict, Rattus, Avskum, Nabat, Visions Of War, Skitsystem, Impact, Warfare (I), Argies, Spermbirds and many more.

Monte Paradiso is featured in the movie "Monte Paradiso 20", a documentary about the history of the community.

AEON (1993-1997)

Undoubtely one of the best, and surely the very first Death Metal band in Croatia, Aeon was practicly the same band as Dissection (they changed name to Aeon because of the existence of the swedish band with the same name), only with a keyboardist added, which amplified the innovative sound of the band. Existed until 1997.

THE SPOONS (1987-2000)

The Spoons is undoubtely one of the greatest and most successful bands from Pula`s Rock scene. Born at the end of the 80s and leaded by one of the most important figure of the scene, Romeo Djomlija (ex-Visoki Napon, ex-Torpedo, ex-Besposlicari), the band played the most uncompromising 60s Garage Rock that ever came out of Croatia. Took in time by the "Slusaj Najglasnije" label (Majke, Satan Panonski, Messerschmitt, SKOL, etc.), The Spoons overgrowth the undergroundness and became a known name in the whole world, concerning the Garage Rock scene. Lasted with line-up changes until the beginning of the 21st century, but remained a name of the Pula Rock scene.

... and I cannot avoid to put my favourite Spoons tune !! Baby Blue..
