Walkman: Croatian Graveyard Pop

I'm seriously wowed by the amount of great new bands in Croatia. So I present you Side Project. This very young graveyard pop duo already plays on our main music festivals and you should definitely check them out. They started with great covers of bands like Depeche Mode, Muse and Arctic Monkeys, and released their first album 'Things Which No One Else Should Know About' in September last year. And new material is on the way!

People compare them with Depeche Mode and The XX, but I always say - good bands are not copies, you can just hear their influences. If you like those two bands, you'll definitely like Side Project. The music is awesome, every song is different (and I seriously don't have a favorite, their all sooo good and unique), I very much like the lyrics (in English) and both Luka and Anja sing out-of-this-world.


I saw them live and they are amazing. More intense vibes than on the record (which is always a plus for me). They had guitar+drums peaks on most of the songs and singing was more open and virtuosic. Love.


You can follow them and download their music on bandcamp and see their gigs on some of the summer festivals in Croatia.
