The Finnish Rotten Sound is coming back to Zagreb, together with Nasum, the strongest representatives of the grindcore scene, who have been grinding since 1993, and have behind them 8 studio albums and a bunch of EPs, splits… Brutal and seriously aggressive music complemented by intelligent lyrics in effective arrangements they made them kind of pioneers of the genre.

We raise the second birthday day for Partibrejkers! On Wednesday, December 13, listen to who was born bad!
Partibrejkers is a rock ‘n’ roll machine launched in the late summer of 1982. Punk energy, bluesy soul and garage attitude are the components that make the Belgrade group Partibrejkers and its frontman Caneta one of the most influential and beloved rock ‘n’ roll acts in this area of ours.
The biography of Paritbrejkers is juicy just like their classics that we can never get enough of: ‘A thousand years’, ‘The ring’, ‘Daughter of the moon’, ‘Go towards me’, ‘Son of the sun’, It is best to travel…’, ‘Hypnotized’ a bunch of.
The first record recorded for Jugoton and produced by Koje from Disciplin A Kitchma was released in 1985. year and won the respect of a large number of rock audiences with it. Despite the good reactions to the debut, the band goes through its first crises in the same year; first Jugoton refuses to release their second record after listening to the new material, then Menza leaves the band, and at the end of the year comes the end of the band’s existence.
Six months after the crash, the Partibrejkers in a changed line-up start their engines again, play concerts, record new material that no one wants to publish again. Finally, in 1988, Jugoton took them under their wing once again and released their album, now known as ‘Partibrejkers II’, although the title should have been ‘The adulterer mare and stallion’, but the designer forgot to put the title on the cover. The new album offered new adventures that were well received by the listeners, and even MTV was not immune, since it recorded a feature about the band.
In November 1989, the third album arrived, whose catchy songs ‘Kreni prema meni’, ‘Earthquake’, ‘Hypnotisana gomila’ and ‘What I’m trying’ are also due to Srđan Gojković Gile, who helped in the role of rhythm guitarist.
In 1990, Paribrejkers played their last Yugoslav tour. The war took its first steps in Bosnia as well, and the members of Ekatarina Velika, Električni Orgasm and Partibrejkers founded the project group Rimtutituku, within which they recorded the anti-war song ‘Slušaj ‘vamo’, which they released with the help of Radio B92 and which they promoted by circling the streets of Belgrade on a truck March 8, 1992.
During the war years, Partibrejkers were banned in Croatia, and in addition to their various defeats and victories, they played concerts in Slovenia, Macedonia and some European countries, published compilations, split up, got together and recorded new material. In 1998, they returned to Sarajevo again, and they held their first concert in Croatia only at the beginning of the new millennium.

The Strange is an internationally recognized band that has won the hearts of audiences around the world, and has been written about by prestigious music media such as Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and Mojo. It was with the release of “Echo Chamber” that The Strange gained the sympathy of music critics and won numerous awards, which continued even later.
