Ženevski Dekret band

Hello followers,

Ženevski Dekret is a legendary punk rock band from Mostar. The name was inspired by Reagan (USA) and Gorbachev (USSR) negotiations on the abolition of the nuclear program and the establishment of friendly (or better-say-less hostile) relations between the two countries. Negotiations were held in Geneva, so this agreement was remembered as the "Geneva Decree". Beginning 1985 as HC / Thrash trio, influenced by some bands from that time. Because of the continuous change within the band, the band's sound changes from thrash through melodic HC to punk / rock.  The first album - "Mostar" - was recorded in 1986 in Ljubljana (Slovenia) in the Borut Cinc studio with 8 tracks. It was released in 1987 and debuted as number one at several local radio stations. After the release of their first album, Kokic (singer) leaves the band for personal differences with the remaining members. Another album -"ne želim biti dio jebene mase" - 1988 was recorded in Sarajevo (studio Vogue), 6 songs. With the new singer and new approach (Habi / Đoko / Golub / Geno), a wider range of musical styles and influences is noticeable than in earlier works. At the end of the mix in the studio there was a pile of Sarajevo punk rockers, led by Dude and Dan, with wine wraps ... and they of course forgot that in the future anthem and far the best song"I do not want to be" puts on a background vocal !!But without them it was okay, that was the best, most famous, the worst, the most talked about Ženevski Dekret. The band also has the smallest concerts in Sarajevo, Gospić, Dubrovnik, Mostar ... The band will only get a good critique and the song "Necu da budem dio jebene mase" has become a big hit not only in punk circles. The songs from that bull went around everywhere, they made a tune of compilations.. In April 1989, however, we managed to gather and maintain the only performance in this setting at the Sarajevo Academy of Performing Arts together with the Rijecka  group Grch. The concert went quite well with the wacky audiences raiding and Krizino's tear-throwing. It was not just the audience who had a lot of fun at this. They were  scooped with a crowd in a narrow alley, suddenly dropped through the curtain, into the backstage, right at the table they sat and drank the guys from Grcha (who then insisted on naming the band in ex-YU). They thought they were in the final preparations for coming to the scene when I unplugged them with their unannounced fall, ha ha! What is this? What does it really do? They could have read that stupidity on their faces. I drank with the confused Zofo, singer Grch, took some beer and squeezed from the table back to the scene. This whole set did not last for more than 10 seconds, but this scene will be recalled as one of the most entertaining concerts they"ve ever had. And there were a lot of them. This performance will be the last time this setup was made by ZD.The attitude and style Ženevski Dekret, as well as their music, strongly influenced many other Balkan punk rock bands from the 1980s. In 1996, three members met in Sweden accidentally and in March 1997 recorded their third album "10 Years". With the new guitarist it was a bit different from the previous one, they came back to their roots, and the sound approached the old punk. Their influence continues in other Balkan PUNK & HC bands. In 2006, Ženevski Dekret was finally reunited. They released the fourth album "Best Of" (1985-2006) remastered - compilation of all the best songs with the new single "Alcohol". In 2007, the EP is "Necu da budem dio jebene mase" in a limited number of 500 copies and that has become a real and very sought after rarity.
