Zlokot (SK)
This is a Slovakian quartet from members of several bands (Noisecut, Modré hory etc.) entered the scene as an association of members without boundaries. “It’s a fact that each of the tracks sounds different – you’ll get electronica with rock guitars, hip-hop mixed with indie rock, punk, even disco gets heard,” said the band when the record Slowakische Idiot was released (Slnko Records 2013). “It is most fortunate that the tracks have in them the rock-like drive, that smart electronic rhythms and hip-hop puns and lyrics go hand in hand,” a reviewer at Prague’s Radio Wave put it.
