Navigating through the flourishing underground music scene on raw talent and dedication, the
Chicago
based indie rock duo consisting of lead singer/multi-instrumentalist Ilija Srbinovski and
drummer/backup vocalist Max Svadlena, have been recording
and perfecting their debut album. With
a
sound ranging from distorted guitar anthems, to melancholic ballads, the duo manages to
capture
the
problematic aspects of young adulthood, through clever lyrics, infectious beats, and catchy
melodies. Their debut album is highly awaited among the suburban/city music scene, amplified by
the
circulation of demo tracks throughout the community. It is expected to release in early
2025,
with
the singles being released over the fall and winter of 2024.
The duo met while attending the University of Illinois at Chicago, after Ilija put up
posters
around
the school looking for band members. After connecting with Max through email, the band was
soon
formed, and named after a math course that Ilija was taking at the university. There was
instant
chemistry between the two as their sound echoed through the hallways of the Chicago Music
Garage
where the band had their first practices. Bonding over their love for music, they managed to
combine
Ilija's Yugoslavian Rock and Experimental Rock influences
(Bajaga i Instruktori, Queens of the
Stone
age, Radiohead etc) with Max's
love for Twenty One Pilots, Austrian superstar Falco, and
punk/rock
music into their debut effort.
