We already featured awesome Croatian melodic punk band Fajrunt from Varaždin in this webzine.
They just released their brand new video for “Predstava”, in my opinion the best song from their current album with the same title meaning “The Show” in Croatian.
Check out the video, get both of their full length albums and support the guys, I know it would mean a lot to them!

Taking shape in early 2017, Odd Robot consists of former members of The Maxies, Longfellow, and more. Blending power-pop melodies with raucous guitar driven hooks, the Orange County-based power pop/punk act has been up and down the coast and recently been sharing the stage with the likes of Red City Radio, The Bombpops, Bad Cop Bad Cop, Samiam, The Beautiful Mistake, Raquet Club, Gameface, and The Smoking Popes.
