Slovenians, the punk rock powerhouse from Brussels, has been blasting through the music scene since 2012. Combining explosive punk rock with gritty touches of stoner and blues, they’ve carved out a distinctive place in today’s punk landscape.
Their first EP, Frankie Goes To Ljubljana (December 2014), marked their debut in a professional studio setting. Featuring standout tracks like I’m Not Batman and Babysitter, it quickly resonated within Brussels’ underground rock community and found its way onto various alternative radio stations.
In June 2017, Slovenians released their first full-length album, Al Dente, recorded at Studio Six. With energetic tracks such as Dirty Mind, Slave, and Not Afraid, the album solidified their growing reputation and earned international airplay on alternative and punk web radios, significantly expanding their fanbase.
Tragedy struck shortly after, in July 2017, when lead guitarist Sinkesh Krištofik passed away in a tragic accident, casting uncertainty over the band’s future. Determined to honor their friend’s memory, Slovenians rallied and welcomed a long-time friend as their new guitarist, infusing the band with renewed vigor and returning stronger to the stage.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic in December 2020, Slovenians embraced the enforced hiatus from live shows to record and release the EP Sinners, dedicated to Sinkesh’s memory. They also shot a music video for Negative Influence in their favorite local bar, perfectly capturing their raw spirit and genuine connection with Brussels’ underground scene.
Recently, Slovenians have continued to build momentum with high-profile performances, including playing the main stage at the Rat Rock Festival and sharing the stage with legendary punk band The Exploited.
The band has just wrapped up recording their highly anticipated new full-length album, set to be released soon—stay tuned!
Every Slovenians show is an electrifying experience, turning each performance into something truly unforgettable. Far beyond simply playing music, Slovenians ignite the stage, showcasing the true, enduring spirit of punk rock.
