PRESENTS: BALKANS
“Balkans' impressive debut  reminds me of the kind of shout-a-long pop we got in the early '00s, maybe somewhere between
The Libertines and The Walkmen.” – Brooklyn Vegan

(hey guys….turn the eff around!)

Time for Atlanta, GA’s fresh-faced four-piece the Balkans to get in-your-face on Noisey.com.. After lighting up the blogosphere with their scruffy high-energy garage punk, Noisey followed the band to Athens, GA and scored an exclusive interview that details the wild, occasionally bloody, life of underground music in the deep South.  The video also includes footage from the band's incredibly high energy set at the 40 Watt Club. Post it - we give you the embed and it’s a gift to be used lightly.

Growing up with Black Lips and Deerhunter as their elders in the vibrant Georgia punk community, the Balkans formed in 2008. Since then, they’ve released a non-stop barrage of 7” singles through local labels. Balkans first official LP, self-titled and recently released through Double Phantom, makes an unrelenting first impression with knockout tracks like “Black Swan” and “Troubled and Done.”
