Google them, and you will mostly find Punčke billed as a punk band. But that is not nearly the whole story. They could just as well be described as an alt-rock, indie or maybe even grunge band. All of this is by design, as they are actively eschewing a single descriptor.
Smetnaki (Balkan Express 174)
Nominally, Smetnaki straddle the cross-section between ska, punk and funk. The band themselves insist that they are not bound to any specific genre. But listen closely and you'll hear jazz in all its forms. Check them out on this week’s Balkan Express
Kawaski 3P (Balkan Express 172)
As a seven-member act and with a wide variety of musical instruments at their disposal, punk turns out to be a very broad description of Kawasaki 3P and their music. Check them out on this week’s Balkan Express.
Damir Avdić (Balkan Express 167)
To bill Damir Avdić as a musician is doing a great disservice to every other aspect of his work. But seeing as Balkan Express on Ara City Radio is primarily intersted in music, this is what we're focusing on that. And at any rate, his music is integral, or at least complementary to his other works, as well.
Psihomodo Pop (Balkan Express 149)
Croatian pop punk band Psihomodo Pop are an institution unto themselves and as such deserve a place in the pantheon of Balkan rock and roll.
