By the mid-1980s, the band has reached the status of an attractive live act, entering the finals of the YU Rock Moment festival, although the members’ mandatory stints in the Yugoslav army caused discontinuity in their work. In 1985, the group made their discographic debut, appearing on PGP-RTB various artists compilation Demo Top Vol.3 with the song “Nema nje (Zauvijek)” (“She’s Gone (Forever)”). The song featured brass section , Film member Mladen Juričić on guitar, and actresses Mira Furlan , Dubravka Ostojić and Stjepka Kavurić on backing vocals. The long period of breaking through had an effect on the group’s lineup, with Banjeglav and Kepenski leaving the band, the latter dedicating himself to his journalistic career. For a short period of time, the band worked on their demo recording with writer and former Buldožer member Davor Slamnig playing the guitar, before they were, in 1985, joined by guitarists Saša Novak Radulović , formerly of Nužni Izlaz ( Emergency Exit ), and Vlatko Ćavar “Brada”, formerly of Ritam s Ovoga Svijeta ( Rhythm of This World ). The new lineup changed their musical expression, turning to Ramones -influenced punk rock. At the time, Gobac gained significant popularity owing to his role of Milan Blenton in the musical TV show Stereovizija ( Stereovision ), for which he recorded the song “Grički izotop” (” Grič Isotope “).
