History

Damjan Pavlica recording his songs in a home studio since 2004. [1] He published the first few demos on "Neradnik" compilation in 2005. [2]

In 2009, Pavlica put together a band whose lineup changed frequently, the key members were Ivana Blažević on violin, Miloš Bakalović on drums and percussion and Nemanja Jovanović on bass and accordion. [3] Damjan od Resnika was established in the old BIGZ building, which is known as the absolute epicenter of independent music being produced in Belgrade. [3] The band held several concerts at Belgrade clubs. [4] [5] and festival Prnjavorstock. [3]

In late 2010 and early 2011, Damjan has organized the recording of the first studio album Pored vatre ("By the Fire"), which was released in mid-2011. This acoustic album was recorded in his home studio RLZ, with various musicians and live instruments, including accordion, violin, double Bass, guitar, blues harp, gusli, percussion and didgeridoo. [6] According to critics, "more than half of the album is very boring and pathetic", except the "two great songs": Mlade mame and "the protest anthem" Moja država. [7]

In 2012, Damjan released his second studio album titled Protiv tebe ("Against You"), "much rawer and more aggressive". [3] All songs played, sung and produced by Damjan Pavlica alone. [8] Lyrically, social themes were at the forefront, "mainly despair and the hope that is born from it." [3] According to music zine Terapija.net, this album "not only that it is completely different, but it is also one of the best achievements of this year's ex-Yugoslavian scene". [9]

2013 Damjan released his third studio album titled Treći album ("Third Album") with the help of local musicians, including neighbours musicians from popular band S.A.R.S. [10] [11] With the third album the project has reached the mainstream media. [12] Shortly after the releasing, frontman Damjan Pavlica presented this album on national radio B92. [13] Reviewer on the Croatian magazine Terapija.net wrote: "I do not remember, except for those times of the Yugoslav new wave that any band in such a short period so far advanced." [14]
