The band

Our roots go back to high school, when Marek brought Filip along to play with friends. Juraj joined later, but those sessions never turned into anything concrete. After college, we started talking about doing it for real. We practised as two, sometimes three people, and played with a few drummers before Adam appeared out of nowhere and matched what we wanted.

We were exploring heavier, darker music then. Longer songs, more complicated parts, because we liked playing them. That led to A Few Screams and Whispers, a concept demo recorded at Kobka Studio in Martin with Brian Bajak. Intermezzos connected the songs and blurred their boundaries.

After a lot of small gigs, we still wanted room to try other things: something almost pop-like, or full screams when the song called for it. The sound settled closer to rock. We had different opinions about the direction, and eventually that lineup couldn’t move forward. Adam left, and after searching for a drummer we called Brano. A few sessions together felt right.

Bilbo Beats Chemistry caught that transition: rock songs mostly written on a seven-string guitar. Brano also helped us get the live setup into shape. We gradually reduced our stage volume and gave sound engineers more room to work, with computer-coordinated sound and programmed lights for some shows.

Then things slowed down. Family lives changed, and we questioned the chances of doing music professionally. We talked about playing just once or twice a year. But rehearsal demos kept piling up, and people at the occasional gigs kept telling us the new material was good. We found the will to continue.

The writing changed with us. We stopped trying to have every button at maximum. The songs became easier to follow and closer to how we actually felt. We returned to the studio for Stone It Up and Weekend, then recorded three more songs in 2025. That’s the material we’re working toward releasing now.
