Laufer is a notable rock band that emerged from the Croatian music scene in the early 1990s. Founded by Damir Urban, Alen Tibljaš, Nikola Marjanović, and Jadran Vušković, the band quickly captured the attention of an audience that craved a fresh and modern rock sound. Laufer's music is characterized by its distinctive blend of contemporary rock influences coupled with an experimental edge that distinguished them from their peers.

The band's journey through the musical landscape includes hits that remain memorable in the regional rock canon, such as the soaring track "Budi moja voda," which showcased their ability to balance lyrical depth with compelling melodies. Despite their initial success and the strong momentum built by albums like "Pustinje" and "Epitaf," Laufer's journey was relatively short-lived and the band parted ways in the mid-1990s. However, their legacy was reignited through compilations like "The Best Off" and "The Ultimate Collection," which introduced their work to new listeners and solidified the band's status as cult heroes in the Croatian rock pantheon. Laufer's influence can still be felt in the works of contemporary musicians who draw inspiration from the band's innovative approach to music and the passion they infused into every track.
