If my son had made this album, I'd say this: "This is a strong debut, son. Strong debut."

Balkans- "Troubled and Done"
Videos3 CommentsNew video for the Balkans track "Troubled and Done," which comes off their new album that's out now.
Kind of confused by the green screen, though. Should we take it upon ourselves to superimpose the band in various places and situations? Just wondering.
Stream the new Balkans LP
New Tracks3 CommentsFound through the Fader, here's a nice, full stream of the self-titled Balkans album that's dropping this month Double Phantom Records.
The album is an attractive blend sounds similar to that of UK post-punk, the Walkmen, and the Strokes. Lots of rough guitars, catchy songwriting, and guts.
Balkans- "Troubled and Done"
New TracksCommentBack before this blog was lookin' like a vanilla ice cream cone with a cherry on top, we blogged the track "Edita V" from this up-and-coming Atlanta outfit, Balkans. Their debut LP is coming out in May, and "Troubled and Done" is another tease toward it.
I can't get over how much this band sounds like a solid combination of the Walkmen and the Strokes. Not only do I catch it in the dry guitars and overstated vocals, but they've got the buff and catchy songwriting to match.
Grab the track "Edita V" below, and make sure to hit up Balkans' website for show dates and info.
