Balkans

Balkans is an indie rock band hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, known for their scrappy, energetic sound that blends garage rock urgency with post-punk hooks. Formed in 2009, the group emerged from Atlanta’s thriving DIY scene, sharing stages with hometown peers like Deerhunter and The Black Lips. Their self-titled debut album (2011) captured their raw, riff-driven style, packed with frenetic energy and sing-alorthy choruses. Though they went on hiatus in the mid-2010s, their cult following kept their music alive, leading to the 2021 release of *Balkans (10 Year Anniversary Bonus Tracks)*, which added unreleased demos and outtakes to their compact but memorable catalog. Their music remains a time capsule of sweat-soaked basement shows and garage rock revivalism.
