U Škripcu is a Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band which gained prominence in the 1980s with their synth-driven new wave sound, poetic lyrics, and unmistakable visual identity. The band originally formed in Belgrade in 1980 and quickly became a significant part of the Yugoslav new wave scene, alongside notable contemporaries such as Idoli and Električni Orgazam. U Škripcu's music and image often reflected the themes of youth, love, and social commentary which resonated deeply with the generation that grew up in the late socialist period of the former Yugoslavia.
Some of their most beloved hits include "Nove Godine," "Godine ljubavi," and "O, je!" which have become enduring anthems. The band's creativity and adaptability have allowed them to maintain a presence in the music scene across the decades, punctuated by a series of comebacks. Through various hiatuses and reunions, U Škripcu has managed to preserve their original spirit while embracing contemporary sounds. Albums such as "Izgleda da mi smo sami" and recent works like "Kao U Boji (Alternative Version 2020)" showcase their ability to evolve while staying true to the soulful and quirky essence that has won them a devoted fan base. U Škripcu's contributions to the region's rock legacy are undeniable, blending infectious rhythms with sharp, thoughtful lyrics—a recipe that has secured them a place in the pantheon of South Slavic rock music.
