By: Hannah Oreskovich Spain's Sarajevo '84. As you might have read in our Corner Cafe Chronicles article last week, weâre stepping up our game and bringing you sounds from around the world on BolderBeat. Today, weâre pumped to introduce you to Spainâs alternative rock four-piece Sarajevo â84. Formed in 2014 in Granada, the bandâs sound âprimarily consists of rock with an emphasis on grunge, as well as elements of punk rock.â Comprised of Andres Martinez (vocals/guitar), Victor Rojas (bass), Juan Marin (guitar), and Ivan Garcia (drums), Sarajevo â84 recently dropped their debut EP, Waiting for the Sun, which you can download for free here. Currently, the group is on tour in the south of Spain; they also have performances planned in Madrid and Barcelona later this year. Overall, Waiting for the Sunâs angsty, guitar-heavy tracks bring me back to my Warped Tour days. â20 Thingsâ will make you want to start jumping, youâll be moshing by âMy Perfect Dayâ, and âThe Keyâ will close out the show before the band breaks their gear and demands you keep running in a giant, moshing circle. Is it Warped Wednesday? Can we get our angry youth back? Sigh. No. But you can turn up Sarajevo â84 and mosh in your cubicle kids, and I highly recommend it. Give Sarajevo â84âs title track âWaiting for the Sunâ a listen: -Hannah Follow Hannah on twitter and instagram. All photos, videos, and embedded tracks per the artists featured.
