Drawbacks is founded back in 1996 by two cousins : Boba - guitars, vocals and Misha - drums. The whole idea behind it was to play old dirty hardcore/punk our favorite bands used to play, for example the Misfits, Discharge, Agnostic Front, Sick Of It All, Suicidal Tendencies, Varukers, Murphys Law etc...After several line-up changes, and couple of self-released demos, band is recording the first album in the spring of 2000,which is released in 2001 on MC by Rock Express Records. B- side of the tape is the best of compilation of the songs from early demos. Very soon after the album came out, the lead singer Pop is leaving the band. Although Drawbacks never had exact hc/punk sound, we always had our own approach to that music, after Pops departure, the sound have changed totally! You can say it is a mix of metal/core and something that sounds like jazz/rock/etno?!!! Some say weve got ourselves a problem with that artistic attitude, they say some people cant dig that music...We never cared,Its always been like this - some people really like us/some really dislike us, nothing in between...We started working on the new album in 2002. but various personal things and problems slowed us down, so we entered the studio in 2004, and finished recording in 2007. In the meantime in remembrance of those good old days and songs, band released the CD First Five Years In The Pit, in 2006,again under the flag of Rock Express Records.The CD is almost 65 minutes long, contains the whole Look At The Score album(A side of the tape), bunch of live shots from various shows, couple of unreleased demos and two totally new songs, recorded right after Pops departure with the band in 2002... Throughout the years Drawbacks played hundreds of shows and shared stage with bunch of cool bands, for example: L.U.R., Hitman, Eyesburn, Smut(Macedonia), Tibia, 100 Demons(USA), Debeli Precjednik(Croatia), 357, Discord, Ground Zero, Full Size, Riblja Chorba, Last Hope(Bulgaria), Gangbangers, Face It, Thimble, POAL, T-Error, KBO!... You can say we really had fun! New album Sacrosanctic came out in June 2008. Again, its a mix of metal, rock, jazz and hardcore, beautifully packed in 8 songs of pure hatred and sorrow. After the realese of the album, came a period where band didnt do any live shows for various reasons. In September 2009., Drawbacks have recorded a new demo entitled In the Shadow of a Pale Horse. A long time tradition of experimenting with the sound and combining various styles, continues, and this time it came out as a mixture of progressive black/death metal of the late 90s and the 80s fusion jazz?!? Its faster, and far more angry & energetic than the Sacrosanctic, with even one blastbeat part...A perfect release for a 13 years anniversary out on Flying Buffalo Records in the beginning of 2010.!!!! Later that year, in autumn, Tonight...Again self-released demo Ep came out. In november, 2010. Drawbacks came back to the stage with great & furious show in Belgrade, Serbia, joined on second guitar by their long time friend Malisha (Potres). Currently, bands on hiatus, plans exist...
