Meet Gazorpazorp, one of the most promising guitar bands from Belgrade if not the Balkans. A fresh name on the Serbian new wave scene, which is gradually taking the baton from the older generation of regional guitar bands, this mischievous bunch of youngsters is as authentic as it gets. In April 2018, the band self-released the demo ‘EP #1’, which included five minimalistically arranged but utterly energetic tracks marked by heavy distortion and hoarse vocals – the shape of things to come.
In December 2020 Gazorpazorp released their debut ‘Od vazduha i sunca’ (Moonlee Records), which brings forth five songs permeated by youthful exuberance and the steamy passion of tango.
Besides apparent influences from bands like Repetitor and Metz, their sound is a blend of noise rock forcefulness, math rock intricacy, post-punk playfulness and psychedelic rock experimentalism both in the Yugoslav and Anglo-Saxon traditions. With its modernized rock aesthetic, Gazorpazorp is a band easily comparable to cutting-edge contemporaries like Squid, Black Midi, Oh Sees, Protomartyr and Tropical Fuck Storm. Despite their young age, the songwriting is defined by a sophisticated approach to arrangement, carefully balanced between bursts of frenzy and barely audible passages, and sharpwitted lyrical explorations in Serbian.
Gazorpazorp is the voice of the world-renowned Belgrade charm, but most of all a band keeping the flame of Yugoslav non-conformism alive!
