1980 - 1983
The band was formed in 1981 in Belgrade by former Pop Mašina members Robert Nemeček(vocals and bass guitar) and brothers Zoran and Vidoja Božinović (guitars). Soon afterwards a former member of the band Pop Šou, Vladan Dokić (drums) joined the band.
The band had its first live performance in 1980 in Zagreb, as a part of the event named Pozdrav iz Beograda (Greetings from Belgrade). Soon afterwards the band released the album Rok Mašina. Later that year, Dragan Đorđević, a former member of Generacija 5, replaced Dokić, but at the time of New Wave expansion in Yugoslavia, the future for the band was not very promising, and the band disbanded in 1982 while recording their second studio album. Part of that material was released in 1983 on the EP Izrod na granici (Spawn on the Border). The EP featured a live version of the song "Bilo mi je bolje", recorded on the Belgrade Rock Festival held in Pionir Hall in September 1982, which was also the last live performance by Rok Mašina. The song "Promašen san" features a recording of Aleister Crowley's voice.
Post-breakup
Zoran Božinović retired from music, but in the late 1990s he started performing with the blues-rock band Zona B. He died on July 12, 2004. Vidoja Božinović occasionally performed in blues clubs and with the jazz band Interaction, before joining Riblja Čorba in 1985. Robert Nemeček became the film program editor at TV Politika.
In 2001, One Records released the compilation album entitled Rok Mašina which featured all the tracks from both 1981 album Rok Mašinaand Izrod na granici. In 2004 the same record label released the various artists compilation Pop-rock komplikacija featuring two of the band's songs, "Granica" and "Nulti čas"
