Grč - Demo (1986)

Grč - Demo (1986)


Genre: Alternative, Gothic
Styles: Alternative, New Wave, Gothic

One of the most interesting bands from Rijeka, Croatia, former Yugoslavia. This is their demo from 1986, very dark post punk recordings, with hard hitting atmosphere. Later they added some metal influences to their goth sound, but in the very meaning of the word, Grč are one of the real hardcore bands around here. They never made it to any commercial trendy exposure, probably because of their extremely strong and controversial lyrics, very poetic but also direct and brutal, presenting the darkest sides of life at Balkans. This is not a goth rock for the fashion kids, but real, threatening stuff, with notorious reputation for their shocking live shows as well. Still active till today, somehow obscured to the max, I heard they recently played live with Paraf and Termiti (two old punk rock bands from Rijeka that it seems resurrected for few reunion shows), bringing some of the controversy on todays generations too. Extraordinary band, very influential in some parts of former Yugoslavian underground, and I think this 1986 demo is good start for getting into their work.
