About Qtera

Qtera started off as an underground teenage punk riot thought up by two high school students, Mladen Vujovic and Braco Subotic. By 1997 angry teenagers have swamped the country over with garage-style punk formations that had a tendency to fall apart after a single gig.
Out of this vortex of countless teenagers high on pride, hormones, spite, and a variety of drugs, Qtera soon enough began to stand out as an actual harbinger of an alternative sound which Podgorica at the time lacked so much. At its earliest stage, the band had difficulties creating more than loose covers of Mudhoney and Nirvana songs, and their expression was an outburst of brute, unprocessed energy. Their consecrated influences from the start were (apart from the two aforementioned), Sonic Youth, The Stooges, Sex Pistols, Spacemen3 and many others. It is beyond doubt that Qtera left an indelible mark as a pioneer on the Montenegrin scene that should not be obscured even when the band ceases to exist, which so far they have no attention of doing.
