History
editRozpor was founded in 1999.[1] In 2000, they self-published their debut album/demo, Nezabudneme! (lit. 'We Will Not Forget!'). The band's 2002 album, Ilegálna spravodlivosť (lit. 'Illegal Justice'), brought them not only participation in punk compilations and intensive touring around West Slavic countries, but also a creative decade of additional releases under "Žiadna značka – No label", by which the band highlights the DIY ethic.[2] Rozpor has gained notoriety for its passionate and original stage show, the frequent brawls accompanying its performances, many of its fans' rowdy nature, for playing shows in poverty-stricken Roma regions, and for their opposition to Slovak far right politician Marian Kotleba.[1][3][4] The band drew minor controversy in 2008 following an appearance on Czech Television, when the Czech Republic's Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting investigated a complaint about the display of an Antifa flag and the lead singer's "Good Night White Pride" T-shirt during the broadcast.[5][6]
