Opća opasnost is a Croatian rock band formed in 1992 in the town of Županja. Founded by Slaven Živanović and Pero Galić, they were soon joined by Igor Kolić, Silvio Soljačić, Eugen Nemet, and Ivan Nol. From the very beginning, they established themselves as one of the key representatives of the Croatian rock scene, blending powerful hard rock with melodic ballads that became iconic in the 1990s.
Their first album, recorded in 1993, was never officially released, but songs such as “Treba mi nešto jače od sna” and “Jednom kad noć” quickly gained popularity. The 1995 album Amerika solidified their reputation, while Ruski rulet (1997) brought new hits and an even larger fan base.
After a short break in the early 2000s, the band reunited in 2001 and resumed performing extensively across Croatia and the region. Over the years, they have opened for major international acts like Whitesnake, Uriah Heep, and Bon Jovi. Their 2011 album Vrati se na svjetlo achieved great success, with the song “Tvoje ime čuvam” winning the Porin award for Song of the Year.
They are known for their incredibly loyal fan base and passionate concerts that often last for hours. Their combination of energy, emotion, and sincerity has made them one of the longest-lasting and most beloved rock bands in Croatia, with music that continues to reach new generations of listeners.
