GENEVE DECREE

Started 1983 like HC/Thrash trio, influenced by Finish bands from that time.

Because of continual changes inside the band, sound of band changed too from Thrash over the melodic HC to Crossover.



First Album -"MOSTAR"- recorded 1986 in Ljubljana (Slovenia) in studio Borut Cinc 8 tracks was released in 1987 and debuted at number one on couple of local radio stations. Following the release of their first album, Kokich (singer) left

amicably due to personal differences with the remaining members.



Second Album - "DONT WANNA BE A PART OF FUCKIN' MASS"- from 1988

recorded in Sarajevo (studio Vogue) 6 tracks. With a new singer and a new line up (Habi/ Djoko/ Golub/ Mujic) it featured a wider array of musical styles and influences than the earlier album.



Been on lot Compilation (SKUC,PST.). Among others :» Cudeza ne bo»,»Nasa cetica koraka»,» U Yu sve je dobro».Also been on video compilation-86»Ni strahu»,

& on a couple of english COMP like «So Many Heads»,»***** Vivisextion». The greatest success(thanx to Tibery) was Comp. Lp»The Return of Yugoslavia».



Geneve Decree's attitude and style, as much as their music,

strongly influenced many other Balkan punk rock bands from

the 1980s. They are generally credited with pioneering the

advocacy of radical politics.



1996. the three members met in Sweden by coincidence

and in march 1997 they went into the studio to record their third album

"10 YEARS".

With a new guitar player (Haris) it was slightly different material than

previous, more "back to the roots" and sound came closer to old punk.

The whole reunion thing was a very emotional time for all band members.

They find themselves facing old issues again.

1998/99 They came back together to play a small number of live

shows, many accompanied by rumors of being the "final show".

In year 2000 the band returned home and shifted focus to other projects

outside the GD. & Couple of more Comp CDs:



¤ No border Jam vol. 4&5 Front rock rec.[1997] ( Slovenia)

¤ Plastic Bomb 28 [1999] (Germany)

¤ High Road To Obscurity Grand Theft Audio [2000] ( CA, USA)

¤ Best of Europe - Delirium Tremens [2004] (Sweden).



Their strong influence continues in other Balkan PUNK & HC bands.

THE NITKOVI covered two GD songs (DON'T WANNA BE A PART OF FUCKIN MASS & THE PRESENT) on their first album "A USHA", THE BLOCKBASTARDS covered also "DON'T WANNA BE A PART OF FUCKIN MASS", DRINCERI covered "HIT" & BAD BLUES BAND covered the "NEW DAY".



In 2006, it was officially announced that GENEVE DECREE would

finally reunite.Fourth album "THE BEST OF"(1985-2006) remastered -
