Presing is a
Serbian alternative rock band from
Belgrade. Formed in 1990 and named after
pressure defense in
basketball (and some other team sports), Presing were, together with
Darkwood Dub and
Kanda, Kodža i Nebojša, representatives of the so-called
NeoBeo sound, alternative, guitar-based rock music produced in Belgrade in early 1990s.
New York Press wrote about Presing: "It's a sound that kicks the pants off the recycle-rock of
The Strokes,
The Vines and the
White Stripes, just to name a few... You can hear bits of the melodic era of
The Fall (
This Nation's Saving Grace through
Frenz Experiment), some
Nick Cave, some
Neil Young–and even some
P-Funk via
Kraftwerk".
