Youth Against came to life in april, 1997. when a couple of guys started jamming along just for the fuck of it... Jura and Darko played together in a deathgrind band called Anus Decay but were heading nowhere, and at the same point a hardcore band called Fester Fuck had a rehearsal with them.
From then on Trco, on vocals, and Jura (drums) + Darac (guitar) played together in an oldschool hardcore project. Soon it became more than a project, and we disbanded our previous bands to concentrate on the new band, now called Youth Against.
In October '97 we had their first concert in the now defunct, cult underground club in Varazdin callled "Grazia" in the following line up: Trco - vox, Jura - drums, Darko - bass, Igor - guit. Soon after, another guitarist was added to the line up - Nike (Ateisti, Overflow). Rehearsing and playing various local gigs, Youth Against entered the studio in April 1998 to record the first demo "Fight back" containing 8 songs in the same line up, released in May, '98. Soon after the release, Trco had to do his country duty, and he joined the army for 10 months. That puts the band to rest for a while, and some changes were made during that time. Exit Jura. Nike takes over the drums. Exit Igor. Enter Zagor on guitar. That line up kicks ass for a while, but soon, again some changes were made.
Nike leaves the band to concentrate more on his other bands, and is replaced with Strija. This line up is the definitive Youth Against line up, doing gigs all over Croatia, Slovenia, and even a mini-tour in Germany with Adjudgement. In 2001. we recorded a live album from a gig in Mochvara, Zagreb with 13 songs. Unfortunately, Youth against disbanded in 2002, due to growing tensions within the band...
In 2007. a new chapter in this, hopefully, neverending story begins. After a few phone calls we decided to get back together! The chemistry within the band kicked in almost instantly, but now being on a higher level of tolerance and understanding, after all - it's only rock'n'roll, but we like it! We did a magnificent come back show :) on Sajmiste in Cakovec, our home town, and then a few others (Macan, Stari Hrast, Ptuj (Slo), Selnica...), and we're always looking forward to play anywhere we're invited... Right now we're starting to work on new material, maybe doing some recording in the future, and so on... see ya!
