Fol Jazik
From Unearthing The Music
Fol Jazik (Macedonian: Фол Јазик; English translation: Fake Tongue) is considered to be the first Macedonian punk rock band, founded in Skopje by Vlado "Krle" Hristov in 1978.
The band's original lineup was made up by Vlado "Krle" Hristov (vocals), Saso "Gzla" Nikolovski (drums), Petar "Pero Kamikaza" Georgievski (bass), and Bratislav "Bata Panker" Grkovic (guitar). The band recorded two songs, "Children of the XXth century" and "Advertisement", and performed in several rock festivals in Skopje (Boom Rock Festival, Skopski Rock Festival and others) before changing their lineup in 1979, with only Vlado Hristov remaining and new members Vladimir "Karter" Petrovski (guitar), Branko "Puma" Spasovski (bass) and Spend Ibraimi (drums) joining. This reformed lineup continued to perform and recorded ten demo tapes (of which none survive to this day) before disbanding in 1980. Despite their short period of activity, the band proved influential to the nascent North Macedonian punk scene.
