Paardcafé: DUCKSHELL

In 2017, a few high school friends got together as a band. Later, some other underground musicians, whom they met while hanging out at the nightlife of Budapest, joined them. Their music transcends styles and is free of compromises; due to the two Brazilian members and the Hungarian aspect, it is mainly fed by the music of the South American – Balkan Peninsula axis, but their unique sound is also drawn from many other styles. They blow up the stage every time with their punk attitude, so it’s no wonder that apart from Hungarian clubs and festivals, they are welcome back in Poland, Bulgaria, and Turkey.

“The energetic Duckshell are living proof that South London’s jazzy post-rock phenom has found its way east, where it’s been given additional Balkan-inflected pipe work to do.” – Mark Beaumont, NME magazin – 2022 August
