Six Pack is a Serbian punk rock/pop punk band from Smederevska Palanka.
The band was formed in early 1993 by Branko Mitrović (guitar), Milan Radojević (guitar, vocals), Dragan Bojić "Bojke" (guitar), Saša Bogdanović "Bogda" (vocals), Miloš Novaković (drums) and Vladimir Čupić "Čupa" (bass), and got the name by the Black Flag song of the same name.
The band recorded their first eight-song demo during the late 1994, and released it independently on the compact cassette Berza bez granica (Stock without Borders). On April 1995, the band performed in Athens and Thessaloniki, meeting bands from punk rock scenes of other countries, and, encouraged with the experience, they started recording their debut studio album. Pretnja ili molitva (Threat or Prayer), produced by Bojan Antunović and released through Kontra Kultura records, featured ten songs, including a cover version of a Mutha's Day Out song, with lyrics in Serbian language entitled "Vodite me" (Take Me).
On early 1996, guitarist Bojić left the band and was replaced by Milan Radojević. The new lineup recorded the band's second album, Fabrička greška (Factory Error), produced by Pacca The Zoom and released by Start Today Records. The album included a cover version of the Culture Club song "Karma Chameleon" and the song "Crveni makovi" ("Red Poppy") featured the lyrics of a patriotic song written by Nikola Hercigonja. Fabrička greška, and, a year later, the second album was rereleased on CD by ITTM records. The material from both the first and the second album was released on CD by the Croatian record label Dirty Old Town.
On Summer of 1998, the band performed at the Ex YU Rock festival, along with the bands from the former Yugoslav republics, held at Bugojno, Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the festival, the band made a deal with the Sarajevo band Peep to go on a tour to Netherlands. Inspired not only by touring, but also by the current political situation in FR Yugoslavia, the band wrote new material which appeared on the band's third album Minut ćutanja (Moment of Silence) featuring a new bassist, Đorđe Paligorić. The album, featuring fifteen songs, was recorded from winter until spring of 2000 at the Češnjak studio, and, as the previous album, was produced by Pacca The Zoom. A cover version of the Riblja Čorba song "Na zapadu ništa novo" ("All Quiet on the Western Front") appeared on the album.
