Galaxisok x Felső Tízezer

Galaxisok, once a solo project of Benedek Szabó, but quickly becoming a traditional band, took its current form just ten years ago, and in the decade since then has built an unparalleled diverse oeuvre, with an unchanged line-up, oscillating between different styles and moods. Last March saw the release of the band's eighth album, but the more strident political and public lyrics and angrier than usual tone may have surprised even many long-time fans. Their anti-system protest song Eternally Enough Was Enough quickly became an unmissable hit at concerts - and protests - and Galaxis went on tour with the most direct, guitar-centric concert programme in years, to say it again and again: once every system falls.

This year marks the tenth birthday of Felső Tízezer, the Hungarian indie-rock scrubs with twangy guitars and lovingly cynical lyrics. Led by László Sallai (Galaxisok, Platon Karataev, The Somersault Boy), the band's debut album Normal Life (2015) was a DIY duo DIY, but by the time they released their love-mourning second album Majd lesz valahogy (2018), they had transformed into a raucous guitar band. The complicated world, released in 2020, was their most colourful music, with the song "Nothing panic 2", which was regularly played on the radio. This world was continued two years later with the release of the album Unavoidable, which saw the return of founding guitarist Dávid Korándi. The band's fifth album, Kicsi forradalom (Small Revolution), released in October 2024, was recorded with him again and became the band's darkest and angriest material.
