Trula Koalicija (Serbian Cyrillic: Трула Коалиција; trans. Rotten Coalition) are a Serbian punk rock supergroup from Kragujevac.
The band was formed in 1986 by Predrag Drčelić "Skaki" (vocals) from Gornji Milanovac with KBO! member Saša Vujić "Vuja" (guitar), whom he met at the Faculty of Law where they both had studied, and his brother Slobodan Vujić "Boban" (drums). The band started recording a series of demo recordings at the improvised Češnjak Studio without any idea of later releasing. However, the selected recordings made until 1988 were released on their debut, self-released, album Trula Koalicija. Among the demo recordings were also "Berlinski čovek" ("Berlin Man") and "Prijatelj da budeš" ("Be a Friend"), featured in the 1987 compilation Les Phantoms De Nuit (Phantoms of the Night) released by Phantom Tapes, an underground label run by Predrag Petrović and the song "Bila je nežna kao cvet" ("She Was as Gentle as a Flower") appeared on the Produkcija Pogledi compilation U Jugoslaviji sve je dobro (In Yugoslavia Everything Is Fine).
The album was soon followed by two more albums, Sećanja (Memories), released in 1989, and Ne izlazi iz stroja (Don't Leave the Array), released in 1990, recorded, produced and released in the same manner as the debut. By the time the third album was released, the band had increased its popularity and had well received live appearances. It was at that time that the band decided to add a bass player, Dragan Cvetanović "Ceja", also from KBO!, with whom the band recorded their fourth album Plakao sam kad je pala Sekuritatea (I Cried When the Securitate Had Fallen), recorded at the Male Pčelice Studio on September 17 and 18, 1992. The album featured politically explicit songs "Zašto me mrziš što volim Šešelja" ("Why Do You Hate Me for Loving Šešelj") and "Rodi mi gomilu debila" ("Deliver Me a Bunch of Morons"), and cover versions of Bajaga i Instruktori song "Tišina" ("Silence") but with altered lyrics, entitled "Alkoholičarka" ("Alcoholic Girl") and "Ti" ("You") which featured music taken from a Bad Religion song. The album was well received by the public, selling in about two thousand copies, partially owing to the album cover, designed by Vidan Papić, which featured a combination of the Communist Red Star and the flag of the Nazi Party.
