Šank Rock

Šank Rock, a five-piece Slovenian rock group from Velenje, was formed in 1982. Their debut album Pridite na žur was released in 1987. The band's lineup has seen several changes over the years, including notable departures and returns of key members such as Matjaž Jelen on vocals and Bor Zuljan on guitars. Šank Rock released a series of albums throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, including Dobro in zlo (1988) and Jaz nimam noč za spanje (1990). The band went on hiatus from 1999 to 2002. In January 2011, bassist Cvetko Polak and singer Matjaž Jelen left the group due to disagreements, leading to a temporary disbandment. Šank Rock reassembled in 2014 with a different lineup, releasing albums such as Nekaj več (2017) and Romantično (2025).
