Smola a Hrušky is a prominent Slovak music group known for their engaging blend of punk-rock and reggae influences, which they deliver with a distinctive energy and local flavor. Originally from Prešov, the band formed in 2002 and has steadily gained a reputation for energetic live performances and catchy, often humorous songs that resonate with a wide audience. Their music often includes playful lyrics and social commentary, reflecting on contemporary issues and everyday life with a mix of satire and earnestness.

Over the years, Smola a Hrušky have become a staple within the Slovak music scene with a substantial fanbase. Their discography showcases a commitment to addressing current events and personal experiences, which is exemplified in songs like "Vakcína," which touches on the COVID-19 pandemic, and "Matura 2," a sequel to their earlier hit that depicts the challenges of high school graduation exams.
