from The History of Punk Rock Podcast: Bands, Scenes, Hardcore, DIY Culture, Record Labels, Clubs, and Punk Music History · host Podily

This episode dives into punk’s unlikely birthplace in the former Yugoslavia, exploring how self‑management, cheap rents, and underground venues birthed bands like Pankrti, Azra, Paraf and Šarlo Akrobata. From makeshift shows in abandoned factories to fanzines that bridged republics, we trace how the region’s politics, DIY infrastructure and multicultural influences shaped a uniquely raw punk scene.
