Biography


Scrolls' story starts out in 2003.

The first jams were held at a little place where local bands would rehearse. At then yet to have a name for the band, Scroll were formed by 4 high school friends in need of some music :
Mark Mrakovcic (vocals/guitar) ,
Tony Mrakovcic (drums),
Filip Romac (guitar) and
Leon culjak(bass).

That setup has remained to this day. Not caring too much about about boundaries of style and genre of music, Scroll played everything that sounded good to them at the given moment, it could be punk, it could be metal, it could be grunge or glam rock. That is probably the reason that Scroll is recognized as a band with a wide spectrum of influences that knows how to combine these different styles into something new. After making their first songs, Scroll was given great reviews both by the professionals and the audience. They have played at numerous festival as well as independent concerts throughout all of Croatia, Slovenia and Italy.
The band was always interested in all aspect of music since it first began, so they started looking into producing and recording their songs. After a lot of recording in their garage, they have mastered the technique and managed to get their hands on a good deal of recording equipment and decided to record their first album on their own. Following the "do it yourself" principal , in 2008. their first album "Poultry" was released. The album was published under the supervision of "Ephenty Records", which is now the bands main publisher and has helped record music videos for a few of their songs. Scroll, led by the charismatic Mark Mrakovcic, got some serious acclaim with their debut album. Eugene Foley, founder of Foley Entertainment, music consultant agency who represents clients who have earned nearly 40 Gold & Platinum Records & three GRAMMY® Awards for their overall career accomplishments, has given Scroll an average 4.5 / 5 mark and has shown interest in helping them develop their career on the U.S. market.

The music video for the single "Soap" has in its time reached #6 on the MTV Adria Rock Charts and has been there for several weeks. They have been guests on Croatian National TV on several occasions, the most notable one was their appearance on the “Garaza” show where they given an interview and played live for 40 minutes. Songs “Soap”, “Blue Trains” and “Broken Mirror” are getting U.S. radio airplay. "Poultry" has gotten great reviews with national and international sites:

Scroll’s nonspecific yet recognizable style was also noted by the critics: “Scroll is anachronistic and unique in a glutted market of alternative/post-punk rockers. Musically covering everything from Folk-Punk to classic rock & Pop, Scroll is bound to please a lot of people along the way...” - (Wildy Haskell, Wildy’s World) No matter what they are trying to do, make people dance, entertain them, touch them or just stay unnoticed, they always keep their childish playfulness, curiosity and honesty that made those four individuals pick up their instruments in the first place.
