Zagreb-based band Error_2020 have just released their new EP Muzika za pionire, blending ’90s alternative, New Wave, garage, and punk rock influences into a nostalgic yet modern sound. The EP reflects themes of camaraderie, solidarity, and rebellion, with tracks like “Umoran od svega” questioning the challenges faced by today’s generation. The band has also dropped a new video for “Umoran od svega,” visually capturing the song’s introspective and defiant spirit.
Inspired by the symbolism of the Yugoslav Pioneer’s Oath and values of unity, Muzika za pionire is a unique call for solidarity, especially directed at those who grew up in the former Yugoslavia—where many of today’s music professionals began their journey. Error_2020 draws from the rich legacy of the local scene, with lyrics in their native language, delivering a mix of provocation and nostalgia.
Each track on the EP carries a strong message. In “Umoran od svega,” the band questions the moral and life dilemmas facing modern generations, while “Uvek pionir” recalls the pioneering days, emphasizing the values of friendship and unity. “Plastika” sharply critiques contemporary social trends, addressing the superficiality and fleeting nature of modern values. The EP concludes with the rebellious anthem “Pesnica u vazduh,” a song of defiance that celebrates the spirit of resistance against life’s obstacles.
While influenced by many renowned names from the past, Error_2020’s EP maintains its own identity, subtly nodding to the New Wave sound while continuing to explore deeper layers of musical complexity. The energetic guitars and raw punk rock aesthetic strengthen each track, delivering a fresh yet familiar sound.
