The Rubber Soul Project was a Serbian rock band. The band took their name from the famous Beatles record Rubber Soul released in 1965. Their first album, The Rubber Soul Project, released in 1996, was conceived as an imaginary Beatles album, with the band writing music and lyrics to songs for which they had heard only the titles. Their second album, The Rubber Soul Project 2, also inspired by the music and the titles of never-before-heard Beatles songs, was released in 2015.
The band history begins in 1993 in Belgrade, when visual artist Rastko Ćirić, professor of Illustration and Animation at the Belgrade Faculty of Applied Arts and horror and science fiction writer Goran Skrobonja bonded over their mutual love for the Beatles. Inspired by the titles of songs the Beatles never released (some of which were available on bootleg recordings in Western Europe, but not in Serbia) they found in Jeff Russel's book The Beatles – Album files and Complete Discography, the two set out to write lyrics and music in the manner in which the Beatles would have done it. The lyrics were written by Skrobonja, and the music was written by Ćirić. The two then decided to record the album with their songs. In 1995, the band, named The Rubber Soul Project (in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Beatles Rubber Soul album), was formed. It consisted of Ćirić, Nebojša Ignjatović, musician and professor of double bass at the Belgrade Music Academy, Miroslav Cvetković, bass guitarist of the popular Serbian band Bajaga i Instruktori, and Čedomir Macura, the drummer of Bajaga i Instruktori.
