STOP originated
in Zagreb,the capitol of Croatia,in 1978 and has been active with it's current membership for the
past 10 years.the group consits of lead guitarist Nikola Sarapa also the founder and leader of the band, drummerGoran Markic,
bass player Ivica Miksic, and singer Ervin Baucic,the group's main focus is on the perfomance of big hard-rock hits oflate
sixties(i.e. Jimi Hendrix, cream, etc.) but they also play classic rock and roll blues.the group has thus for recorted one
maxy single and six lp albums,in addition to holding hundreds of live performances throughout croatia .former yugoslavia,italy,austria
and germany.the group has gained a formidable reputation and popularity over the years with the devotees of original hard
rock.especially noteworthy are group's signature takes of Jimi Hendrix's hits .Finally,I should also mention of successful
live tv performances during the group's long existence.
While the true fans of this music still exist in thes parts of
the world,the style has udeniably lost a lot of general popularity over the years and the market for it has been declining
steadily.The members of stop on the other hand may be getting older,but they feel like they've got a few more years left in
the tank and are eager to show it.This goes especially for the lead guitarist Nikola,who I bealive is truly unique talent
that makes this band what it is .
