With a pedigree of over 20 years and a continuously well received musical output, Res Nullius have firmly established themselves as one of the best live rock acts in Slovenia. Established in 1991 and since then consistently playing non compromising music, the band has never strived for either commercial success or taken any other pragmatical course in music making. As a result, they have altogether released only 5 albums, each of them fast inscribing itself into Slovenian collective rock conscience.


Biography

In 1992, relatively soon after their first live gig, they appeared on the Novi Rock festival. A year after, their debut album No One Can Like The Drummer Man came out. It was held in very high esteem by the critics, some stating it as the best rock album in the Ex-Yugoslavia region released at that time. After extensive touring, they recorded another album in 1994, released by Croatia Records and called Dead Town Dogs. Again gaining critical acclaim, their touring culminated in being the head liners on the Novi Rock. Also, the American magazine Flipside wrote of them as one of the best punk-rock bands on the other side of the former iron curtain.

In 1996, besides changing the rhythm section, the band also changed their lyrical course and started singing in Slovenian language. The new album was called Zdravo je biti divji [It's healthy to be wild]. Extensively touring Slovenia and the rest of the Ex-Yugoslavia, their vision of straight ahead and yet distinctive rock became well known. Even if their next two album followed only as late as 2002 and 2010, Res Nullius sound has a consistency, that the Slovenian critics and audiences alike are very fond of.

Their name meaning 'no one's property', their whole approach is strongly grounded in rock'n'roll ethics. Their last album, Prekletih bazar [Bazaar of the Damned] was thus recorded and distributed in self-release. Their music gradually deviated from their punk-rock and garage origins, more evidently basing itself in blues rock patterns.

Line-up

After three or four times changing the rhythm section, the band now consist of Zoran Benčič on vocals, Boštjan Senegačnik on guitar, Janez Marin on drums and Boštjan Časl on bass.
