SAŠA 21 - VD-i1 - LP

Old punk, new project – in short, this is a way to describe Sale Veruda’s (ex-KUD Idijoti) new work. Alongside his original band, with the beginning of the new millennium, Sale decided to engage with his new band. He named his trio Saša 21, in which he is the lead vocalist and guitarist. Their first, and at this time, only album was recorded already in 2004, but then Sale waited paitently for the perfect chance to release the album on vinyl.

This limited vinyl release (521 copy in total) carries 12 songs. The music backbone of VD-i1 is ’77 style punk. However, the sound is enriched with slightly modern version of punk, rock and even with elements of white reggae. This bind of old and contemporary can be seen in the names of the songs such as Ploče, kazete, diskete… (Records, tapes, discs…), showing visible progressive advancement of technology which is applicable on records as well. The song Vesna 2 is very symbolic and in a way a sequel of the song Vesna (Ratna pjesma) from the band KUD Idijoti, in which the punk veteran invokes memories from his youth.

Uncompromised punk rock is the essence of VD-i1. Even after ten years, the album represents a refreshment on the punk scene and is seeking for fans starting with the generation of the 70’s onwards. The admirers of domestic heavy sound who still believe that punk is not dead, but are equally open to music innovations, consider this album as a proof for their ears.
