Description

Sweet Rapscallions is a Macedonian band and a fictional story in which the main characters are called Epiams, who originate from Bitola. The band has a unique style inspired by the avant-garde movements in the popular music from the late 1970s and early 1980s, with complex genres such as folk music intersecting with (retro)futurism. With an authentic noir and true Romantic expression embedded into a masterfully woven ambient beats, themes and samples radiating the 20 century atmosphere present in Kafka’s unrecorded dreams, Sweet Rapscallions glide from the esthetics in the noir movies to the industrial and avant-pop. They signed to the independent local label Sharla and have two official releases, the EP titled EP I AM (April, 2014) and the LP Stereo Memory – Live at Kanal 103 (February, 2017), recorded during the radio show (If nobody is playing). The story about Epiams continues to develop simultaneously with the bend.
