Drugi Način

Drugi Način (trans. The Other Way) is a Croatian and Yugoslav rock band formed in Zagreb in 1974. The band was formed by Branko Požgajec (vocals, keyboard, flute), Halil Mekić (guitar), Željko Mikulčić (bass guitar), Ismet Kurtović (guitar, flute, vocals), and Boris Turina (drums). In 1975, the band released their self-titled debut, a progressive/hard rock concept album dealing with the theme of solitude, to critical acclaim and nationwide popularity. However, despite large success of their debut, in the following years the band did not manage to maintain a steady lineup and did not record a new album until 1982. The band's second studio album, Ponovo na putu, did not repeat the success of their debut. During the following years, the band toured extensively, but towards the end of the decade they started performing occasionally only and, despite never announcing their disbandment, gradually retired from the scene. During the 1990s and the 2000s, the band made only occasional live and discographyc appearances, including the 1992 compilation album Drugi Način, featuring new versions of the band's old songs. The band made a full-scale comeback with their third studio album Zgubidan, released in 2016. Throughout the band's career and lineup changes, Požgajec has been the only mainstay member of the group.
