Czech Republic | A Banquet - "Too young"

RECENT

A Banquet is a very unique band from Prague. They describe their style as "futu-roll" – which would be a mixture of '80s synthpop, '90s altrock, grunge and contemporary electro genres. Summarizing it a bit, we could say it's a kind of electronic/synth rock. But, instead of describing, it's better to listen and find out for yourself. And it's worth: "Too young" is an amazing song!

Greece | Boys and Noise - "Kane kati"

BRAND NEW

There is a great new act hailing from Greece. It's Boys and Noise, a boyband formed by Aris Makris, Vangelis Kakouriotis and Dimitris Giannoulis. Meet them with their debut single, "Kane kati".
