Majke ("Mothers" in Croatian) are a cult Croatian hard rock band from town Vinkovci on the eastern border of Croatia. Founded in 1988 in Vinkovci, Majke are one of the many bands to appear in a city that had a particularly vibrant rock and alternative scene. The band started playing under the influence of bands like: Led Zeppelin, MC5, The Stooges and New York Dolls. In 1990 the group released their first album Razum i Bezumlje (Mind and Dementia). All that came to a crashing end in 1991 with the outbreak of the war and Vinkovci became one of the battlefields. Majke were the only band to survive, mostly responsible for that its frontman Goran Bare who was the only constant member of the band. In 1993 they released their second album Razdor (Division) with the hit song Krvarim od dosade (Bleeding of Boredom).
