Croatia | Ignor - "Frajer me pivom zalio"

RECENT

Ignor is a Croatian rock band from Zagreb. They qualify themselves as a "regional Blink-182 wannabe". And their most recent single, "Frajer me pivom zalio", is a proof of this objective: a powerful and contagious punk rock which reminds a lot some of Blink-182's work. A great way to start this Saturday with a lot of energy.

Dino's most recent release is a very interesting live video to his hit "Ako me ikada sretneš".
