Slobodná Európa


Slobodná Európa is a Slovak punk-rock music group formed in 1989.

History

The band was formed by Braňo Alex , Sveto Korbel , Ozi and vocalist Whisky. In 1991 they released the first album Pakáreň through Opus Records. Ozi leaves the band after the release and is replaced by Juraj Černý, at that time also a member of hard rock/heavy metal band Tublatanka, who played drums on two tracks from Pakáreň. Shortly afterwards the band adds secondary drummer Čunďo who variously switches places with Černý until 1994. Band members took hard drugs that would influence their darker second album Unavení a zničení but eventually also almost destroy their lives. Due to various problems the band went on hiatus in 1995.
Slobodná Európa reformed in 2002 when Whisky married Dorota Nvotová. Černý, who was a part of the reunion is soon replaced by Tuleň and the band records their new album Trojka. In 2004 the band adds new guitarist Temo who also fills in for Korbel during latter's personal hiatus from the band between 2004 and 2006. Tuleň left in 2006 and was replaced by Juraj Vitez. In 2011 Černý returned to the band. Alex was dropped from the line-up in 2012 due to health reasons and drug addiction and was replaced by Žumo. This line-up recorded and released fourth album Štvorka in 2014.
