The Callas

The Callas are a distinctive band emerging from the vibrant underground scene of Athens, Greece, known for their unique blend of post-punk energy, art-rock ethos, and lo-fi aesthetics. Founded by brothers Lakis and Aris Ionas, who are both artists and musicians, The Callas often intertwine their music with visual arts, contributing to their multifaceted approach to artistic expression. Their creative output does not end with music, as the brothers are also the founders of the art space "The Breeder" in Athens, where they curate exhibitions and foster the connection between visual arts and soundscapes.

Over the course of their career, The Callas have journeyed through a diverse soundscape marked by raw guitar riffs, poetic lyricism, and an avant-garde approach that defies strict genre classification. Albums like "Am I Vertical?" and "Half Kiss Half Pain" explore themes of existential angst and romantic turmoil while maintaining a playful, often irreverent tone. Their later works, such as "Trouble and Desire" and "Acid Books," see the band maturing into their sound, offering a more polished yet still edgy collection of tracks that resonate with both their local and international audiences. Known for their DIY philosophy as reflected in one of their notable early releases "DIY or DIE," The Callas embody an independent spirit and a dedication to their craft that both challenges and invigorates the music and art scene.
