Strong riffs and funk-rock vocals with ecstatic dance moves are the basis of their work. After two years of playing gigs, doing music experiments, projects and the EP, they released the conceptual debut CMYK last September. It was introduced and released in their native Trenčín in their own temporary pop-up shop. According to Hudba.sk, the album is a "hypermodern upgrade of shabby blues-rock, which has the potential to attract the attention abroad as well. At the same time, it’s an excellent example of music and production self-sufficiency, creativity and precision of one of the most interesting young Slovak bands.” The PopMatters stated they prove yet again that warm music paired to electronics makes for truly compelling sound. They played with the Dutch band My Baby in Bratislava at the end of the last year, will open for Skunk Anansie in August, and in the meantime they'll also perform at our festival.
