They are one of the most important former Yugoslav Punk groups and one of the first punk rock bands ever formed in a communist country.

Well, I don't know anything about their other songs, but to sing Bandiera Rossa ("Red Flag") in a Socialist country doesn't seem very provocative to me.

There is a thread here. I guess a lot of new contributions can be made there.
