Demolition Group has spent the last thirty years creating a fusion of rock and underground by reaching into the darkest parts of the human soul. They are one of the most persistent and authentic bands in Slovenia.

The band’s music is an energetic fusion of electronic and acoustic drums, rock and funk oriented guitars, neurotic saxophone and specific vocals. "They look and sound like Doctor Feelgood after 18 pints having a jam with Killing Joke's roadies" (New Musical Express, 1994). Being excellent musicians, the musical skills of various members of Demolition Group are also evident in the work of bands such as Laibach, Borghesia, and many others (varying from rock to contemporary classical).

Four years after releasing the album Planet starcev, the band announced a new album and a performance in the making. Their new album Zlagano sonce debuted in May 2015.

In their own words: "Concerts have always been and will continue to be our strong suit and a purpose of our existence. Our performances directly address the audience, who are involved in creating the authentic rock'n'roll vibe."

The quartet Kill Kenny is known for their unique style, which represents the wave of new influences in Slovenian underground music. Even though their distinctive sound combines several music styles, they can be most easily categorized as an alternative rock band. Their energetic and genuine performances are always filled with quality music.

Kill Kenny was formed in 2009. The band gained recognition with their first single "Outta Control" and the release of their debut album Josh in 2011. They also performed at numerous festivals, big and small (Rock Otočec, Schengenfest, Pivo in cvetje).

In the past two years, the band faced quite a few challenges. By performing at the Slovenian Music Week, they have secured performance at two foreign music festivals, Exit and Waves Vienna.

In 2015, Kill Kenny will release a new album, which they will promote by performing in Slovenia and abroad.
