This is a very distinctive formation: BELGRADO live in Catalonia, but there are guys with British names in the line-up, as well as a female vocalist (plus) who sings in Polish (a huge plus!).<\/p>\n<p>Throughout its discography, which began in 2011, BELGRADO gradually drifted from an anxious and emotional sound with distorted guitars and elements of punk rock to more adult music. It should be noted that the band has always sounded incredibly authentic, as it retained all the features of the sound of the style chosen for a particular album. Simply put, BELGRADO's recordings sounded crisp, like old vinyl.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"Belgrado - Nie Zapomn\u0119 (Videoclip)\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_qEO6kdlzwqQ\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/qEO6kdlzwqQ\/hqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qEO6kdlzwqQ\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT4M30S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-04-07T15:51:13Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_qEO6kdlzwqQ\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/qEO6kdlzwqQ\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Belgrado - Nie Zapomn\u0119 (Videoclip)<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/qEO6kdlzwqQ\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/qEO6kdlzwqQ\/0.jpg\" alt=\"Belgrado - Nie Zapomn\u0119 (Videoclip)\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"\u2589 \u201cNie Zapomn\u0119\u201d is the second single from Belgrado\u2019s fourth album: Intra Apogeum. ~ Released in April 28th 2023 on La Vida Es Un Mus Discos. \u25b6\u25b6\u25b6 Order Intra Apogeum via our Bandcamp: - https:\/\/belgrado.bandcamp.com\/album\/i... \u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509 \u25cc \u1dc9\u2814 \u25e0 Director - Renzo Andr\u00e9 Assistant Director - Nina Moreno DOP - Renzo Andr\u00e9 Art Direction - Belgrado \/ Renzo Andr\u00e9 MUA - Allison Caranton Costumes - Belgrado &amp; Allison Caranton \/ Ginpak Studio Editing - Renzo Andr\u00e9 Color Grading - Renzo Andr\u00e9 Graphic Design - Jonathan Sirit Produced by Belgrado Music mixed and mastered by at Studio AS One. \u281f Barcelona, 2023 \u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509 \u2b24 Belgrado links: - Bandcamp: https:\/\/belgrado.bandcamp.com\/ - Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/belgradoband\/ - Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Belgradopunk - YouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@belgradoband\/ \u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509 \u25b9 \u29be \u2307\u2981 \u2752\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:420px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p>On \"Intra Apogeum\" BELGRADO, I'm not afraid of this statement, made a huge leap, showing their maturity and maybe even elitism. All the noise, yelling, and funny social(istic) lyrics about Pa\u0142ac Kultury are in the past. \"Intra Apogeum\" is cold, precise, dreamy post-punk, as it should be. I would like to note that this style variation is more about romance and old aesthetics, rather than about silent grey houses and the dullness of living in (post-)soviet pandemonium. Compared to previous recordings, the music has become noticeably simpler on a compositional level, in the sense that everything optional has been removed from it. Those elements <del>umys\u0142u<\/del>that remained are placed with surgical precision. Every beat on the drum, every touch on the bass guitar string, every press on the synthesizer key - everything sounds accentuated and meaningful.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"Belgrado - Boixar (Videoclip)\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_6H7jMXBvEvw\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/6H7jMXBvEvw\/hqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6H7jMXBvEvw\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT5M7S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-02-01T17:00:08Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_6H7jMXBvEvw\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/6H7jMXBvEvw\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Belgrado - Boixar (Videoclip)<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6H7jMXBvEvw\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/6H7jMXBvEvw\/0.jpg\" alt=\"Belgrado - Boixar (Videoclip)\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"\u2589 \u201cBoixar\u201d is the first single from Belgrado\u2019s fourth album: Intra Apogeum. ~ Released in April 28th 2023 on La Vida Es Un Mus Discos. \u25b6\u25b6\u25b6 Order Intra Apogeum via our Bandcamp: - https:\/\/belgrado.bandcamp.com\/album\/intra-apogeum \u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509\u2509 \u25cc \u1dc9\u2814 \u25e0 Director - Renzo Andr\u00e9 Assistant Director\u00a0- Nina Moreno DOP - Renzo Andr\u00e9 Gaffer - Nina Moreno Electrician - Nico Vald\u00e9s Art Direction - Jonathan Sirit \/ Renzo Andr\u00e9 Editing - Renzo Andr\u00e9 Color Correction - Jonathan Sirit \/ Renzo Andr\u00e9 Graphic Design - Jonathan Sirit Production Assistant\u00a0- Nico Vald\u00e9s Produced by Belgrado Music mixed and mastered by at Studio AS One.

The most powerful of them got the video clips that you can see above. There are two or three tracks that are not the most outstanding, which drift in an incomprehensible direction from a firmly defined center. This spoils the overall impression quite a lot, because the best songs on the album are so amazing that everything that turned out to be weaker starts to sound almost offensive. Like, why they couldn't do everything equally perfect! Although I do not rule out that over time these songs can grow on me, as it happened with <a href=\"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/rev\/2175\/\">H\u00c4NDE<\/a>. One way or another, \"Intra Apogeum\" turned out to be a great album, which has its gloss and a top-notch creative level. Yesterday's punks finally lost their piss-soaked vests and started drinking latte macchiato instead of strong \"Karpackie\". Because high culture, after all, is a serious fucking thing!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 787px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3604334040\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=e32c14\/package=1643881237\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/belgrado.bandcamp.com\/album\/intra-apogeum\">Intra Apogeum by Belgrado<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0413\u043e\u0434: 2023 \u0412\u044b\u0434\u0430\u045e\u0446\u0430: Bat-Cave Productions \u0420\u044d\u0439\u0442\u044b\u043d\u0433: 7,9&nbsp;\/ 10 \u041d\u0430 \u0433\u0443\u0440\u0442 BELGRADO \u044f \u043d\u0430\u0442\u043e\u0440\u043a\u043d\u0443\u045e\u0441\u044f \u043f\u0430\u0434\u0447\u0430\u0441 \u0441\u0451\u0440\u0444\u0456\u043d\u0433\u0443 \u043f\u0430 Discogs, \u0456 \u0451\u043d \u0430\u0434\u0440\u0430\u0437\u0443 \u0436 \u043c\u044f\u043d\u0435 \u0437\u0430\u0447\u0430\u043f\u0456\u045e. \u0413\u044d\u0442\u0430 \u0432\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043c\u0456 \u0430\u0434\u043c\u0435\u0442\u043d\u0430\u044f \u0444\u0430\u0440\u043c\u0430\u0446\u044b\u044f: BELGRADO \u0436\u044b\u0432\u0443\u0446\u044c \u0443 \u041a\u0430\u0442\u0430\u043b\u0451\u043d\u0456\u0456, \u0430\u043b\u0435 \u045e \u0441\u043a\u043b\u0430\u0434\u0437\u0435 \u0451\u0441\u044c\u0446\u044c \u0445\u043b\u043e\u043f\u0446\u044b \u0437 \u0431\u0440\u044b\u0442\u0430\u043d\u0441\u043a\u0456\u043c\u0456 \u0456\u043c\u0451\u043d\u0430\u043c\u0456, \u0430 \u0442\u0430\u043a\u0441\u0430\u043c\u0430 \u0434\u0437\u044f\u045e\u0447\u044b\u043d\u0430-\u0432\u0430\u043a\u0430\u043b\u0456\u0441\u0442\u043a\u0430 (\u043f\u043b\u044e\u0441), \u044f\u043a\u0430\u044f \u0441\u044c\u043f\u044f\u0432\u0430\u0435 \u043f\u0430-\u043f\u043e\u043b\u044c\u0441\u043a\u0443 (\u0432\u0435\u043b\u0456\u0437\u0430\u0440\u043d\u044b \u043f\u043b\u044e\u0441!). \u041d\u0430 \u043f\u0440\u0430\u0446\u044f\u0433\u0443 \u0441\u0432\u0430\u0451\u0439 \u0434\u044b\u0441\u043a\u0430\u0433\u0440\u0430\u0444\u0456\u0456, \u044f\u043a\u0430\u044f \u0440\u0430\u0441\u043f\u0430\u0447\u0430\u043b\u0430\u0441\u044f \u045e&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3524,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[66,2],"tags":[34,96,97],"class_list":["post-3523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-66","category-rev","tag-post-punk","tag-spain","tag-97","wpcat-66-id","wpcat-2-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3523","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3523"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3523\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3528,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3523\/revisions\/3528"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3524"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3523"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3523"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3523"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
