JULY 12 | @antistil._.bend x @korkakorkakorka x @xajka

Antistil is a band from Belgrade consisting of Andrej Andrej and Šemić. They like to play a mix of post-punk with anything and everything, but you really have to come to hear it.

Korka is a loud five-piece band from Kočani, North Macedonia, which incorporates a plethora of elements from the dissonant noise rock of the '90s and the turbulent alternative rock scene. With their self-titled EP, through noisy riffs and vocals they present the bleak life of the anti-hero Risto. Their sound combines cruelty, energy and thematic apathy that reflects the reality of today’s youth. With a pronounced DIY aesthetic, a dark atmosphere and lyrics that range from the absurd to social commentary, Korka leaves an impression as one of the freshest voices on the Macedonian alternative scene.

Xajka is a four-piece post-punk band from Skopje, North Macedonia, consisting of Filip Lafazanovski (bass guitar, backing vocal), Bojan Tanevski (lead vocal, synth), Teodor Atansovski (guitar) and Aleksandar Atanasovski (drums). Started as a band between high school friends in 2018, it grew into a larger musical project with multiple gigs between 2019 and 2020, culminating in the release of their first EP Neprekinato Dvizhenje in 2020. After their first release, Xajka became one of the most prolific bands of the new generation in North Macedonia, with two more releases behind them: Antitalent (2021) and Maka Mashina (2023).

The core idea of Xajka’s tracks is a mix of post-punk sound, experimental electronic elements and fast-paced tempos. Apart from their main releases, which are part of their repertoire, they are known for improvising live sets.
