Pankrti

Pankrti, often hailed as the pioneering punk rock band from Slovenia (formerly part of Yugoslavia), burst onto the music scene in the late 1970s with an explosive sound that captured the restless spirit of youth under a socialist regime. The band was formed in 1977 in Ljubljana by Peter Lovšin, Gregor Tomc, Bogo Pretnar, Dušan Žiberna, and Boris Kramberger. Their name, which translates to "Bastards" in English, encapsulates their rebellious and iconoclastic ethos.

The band is credited with kickstarting the punk movement in the former Yugoslavia and challenging the political status quo through their lyrics and aggressive style. Pankrti's discography is marked by seminal albums such as "Dolgcajt" and "Rdeči album," which both resonate with the raw energy and dissatisfaction characteristic of the punk genre. Despite a brief hiatus in the mid-1980s, the band's influence persisted through the release of retrospective collections like "Zbrana dela 1977 - 1988" and electrifying live performances, such as the one captured in "Pankrti- Live in Zagreb 1985." Even into the 21st century, Pankrti maintained their status as a culturally significant force with performances like "Stožice 2017: Gospodje jest vam ne verjamem." Through their music and unyielding stance, Pankrti remain an emblem of rebellion and a voice for generations both within Slovenia and in the broader punk movement internationally.
